Sorry for the small pictures. The advertisement does not mention what type of titanium the outdrives are made of. It mentions that they weigh only 9.8 grams per pair.
The full description from the advertisement in RC Car Action August 1994 is as follows-
New for Associated cars. Titanium outdrive sets for the Stealth transmission (part number BCA3020). Talk about the ultimate in Hi-perfomance. After months of research and development BARRACUDA is proud to introduce one of the trickist parts of all time. At a weight of only 9.8 grams per pair, Barracuda Titanium Stealth outdrives are nearly 50% lighter than the stock transmission outdrives. Now that's some serious reduction in rotating mass! These outdrives are recommended for Hi-perfomance racing applications only. Ask Oval National Champion Brian Landgraff how well they work, he won't run a race without 'em.
Thanks for posting that Dual. Too bad it doesn't mention the type of Ti they used. I'm just very surprised to see Ti wear out like that. I would have though it would be much more abrasion resistant.
OK i have a dogbone with the pin almost all the way out. It slides around a lot and I'm thinking its going to come out soon. Now how can I keep this pin in there??? Or this weedwacker line trick...you have to show me that!!!

do you mean that the pin is loose inside the dogbone? or, that it has just started to work it's way out, but still fairly tight?
the weedwacker line is easy. knock out the pin, and shove the line in.
yeah the pin can be moved almost out but the end still holds it in...I tried to make it a little tighter by using pliers but i think i was making it worse...I'm not sure the best way to save the dogbone...maybe once it falls out just jamming in the weedwacker line will work...
Can the newer gen2 outdrives 2935 be used in the xx and retrofit trannies? They look very similar except no need for the separate diff tube. Much like the xx4/xxx4/xxxs molded front outdrives... Do I need the 2903 rings if so, or can I still use the...

Thanks Cedric. I guess I should be happy that the 3073s and 3097s are still in good supply. I just saw that the Gen2s were $10 a set, whereas a set of 3097s are ilke $13-15, and the 3073s are $14-16. I'm always trying to save an RC buck.... :D
Since the 2.25 outdrives are discontinued (ASC6577 & 6578), I was wondering what the difference(s) are between them and ASC7667 & 7668 (RC10GT Stealth)?
With the re-release of the rc10 world's edition, i was hoping to grab up a new set of outdrives for my rc10t, but I have yet to see them in stock on the AE website.
Anyone have an idea if these parts will eventually be in stock, or where i could...

Dont always go by team associated's website for inventory. Tim said even they wont show inventory till shop orders and backorders are filled first.
I am restoring my attic find and am in the proccess of rebuilding the transmission. This kit had bushings originally. I have a felt seal and a retainer on one side and nothing left on the motor side. My lhs has a nice goldie that is tastefully...
Hi all,
I am having a problem with one of my 6 gear's outdrives. I just installed new bearings, and now, whenever one of the outdrives gets pushed in a little, it stops spinning freely. If I pull it out a bit, it is fine. Could something be...

How many bearings in each outdrive? If you can push and pull the outdrives it sounds like there is something missing
Ahh, sorry for not getting back to you guys. I got the drive and it's perfect in every way. A real bargain at $25.00 USD plus shipping. It is machined from a steel alloy.
