Today one of my friends was talking about replacing his RC10's chewed up transmission with a metal geared Traxxas Magnum 272. He likes to run his RC10.... a lot, and would like the convenience of going to the lhs to get parts instead of scouring ebay. I myself got to wondering if it could be done. After looking at this picture... and looking at a Traxxas Bandit at the lhs, it probably could work with some jerry-rigging.....

Its something that could be done but less work could be had by building a bulletproof stealth for it. What is he breakin on his rc10 tranny and what tranny is he using?

He is running the 6 gear... not sure what he is breaking. I think there is some "user error" involved when he puts the tranny back together.

the only problem i can see after fitting it, is the outdrives fitting for the dogbones.. you could Use MIP outdrives.. but those are rare obviously, is it even the same size?

Thoes 272 trans still break lots. Input shaft roll pins, diff gears, and so on. I'd go with the stealth as well.

if he still want to use the traxxas trany,is easy to make it work with losi axle and the traxxas universal.i did that on project texaswilly.
work great.handle lots of power to.but i would still prefer a stealth

I think it might be easier to install a b4 stealth instead, if they wanted a newer transmission.

However you can still buy most of the parts for the older 2:25 stealth transmission at tower.

good reference for parts:
