HI!... O.k I just freshly rebuilt mt 1st 6 gear trans for my Graphite RC10. I very carefully deburred all the steel gears. I'm running new (black) idler gears. I'm running full ball bearings including replacing the felt rings with sealed ball bearings. Now is it something I did, or is this 6 gear trans a "One wheel peel" set-up? If I spin the input shaft on one outdrive turns. I took it all apart again and because one gear is part of the input shaft and the other gear floats on the input shaft, the passengers side outdrive will never get power it seems to me. Is this correct???? The trans is extremely smooth. Just as smooth as my Stealth trans are.
we use to fill these transmissions with valve grinding compound and run a pack through them wide open on the bench. then clean them out with break clean. then they were super smooth. it took and polished and debured the gears.
HI!... Well I hand deburred all the gears by hand, and then ran them through a 8000rpm brass wire wheel. Very smooth.
Has anyone ever takin a set of outdrives and ground off the outdrive section just leaving a steel idler gear, and then using it as a steel idler gear? Just thought it would bullitproof the 6 gear trans some more. All steel internals.

a friend of mine has a all metal 6 gear.. im not impressed with the idea..the way they have that trans/idler gear with 1 bearing assemble i feel the plastic would work best..i always say new black idlers, bearings on the outdrives then you have a great car..a new 48 pitch spur gear is always nice too

I just posted an answer to a similar question on another thread. I had some steel idlers from MIP (I think), and they were a pain to wear in. You had to chuck the outdrive in a drill, and use automotive valve grinding compound (it came in a little green can) to "seat" the gears. It was ok, for a while, but they would get odd rough spots, and you'd have to do it again. I eventually trashed them.
I know the 6 gear trans has a much different pitch than my stealth trans. Can someone please tell me what the original tooth count and pitch should be for the pinion and spur gears? Also where can I buy snap ring pliers small enough for the tiny...
Broke the front bulkhead on my traxxas slash so I decided to throw the velineon brushless and 3c lipo out of my slash into my gold pan rc10 with a 6 gear trans. Diden't even last 10 min and tha counter gears in the trans stripped out. Hoped it mite...

I run the Castle systems in all my cars and trucks. I have a few Mamba Max's and the new Mamba Max Pro which is ROAR legal (don't know why the older ones aren't). I could not be happier. I have not run them in a 6 gear but use caution. A 4600 would...
Whats the hottest motor a 6 gear trans will handle without blowin idler gears? Im runnin the black delrins not the nylon peices of #%^*&%^

The six gear and I have a love/hate relationship. I love to rebuild them correctly and they hate me for it, fighting all the way. I built and rebuilt many 6 gears and can proudly say mine are almost as smooth as a stealth.
I'm sure there is already a post somewhere on here about this but I wasnt able to find it. Can a run a mild brushless setup with a 6 gear transmission? And if so how hard is the 6 gear to get back into working order - parts availability, etc? Thanks...

Yep, just look over everything according to the manual and you're good.
HI!... So I started to restore my RC-10 Graphite car and it has a 6 gear trans. All my previous RC-10's have had the Stealth trans. It currently has bushings, and worn one's at that. I want to convert it to ball bearings, sealed bearings are...
My parents dug up my old RC's from their house. Tamiya Fox, Hot Shot, Optima Mid and my RC10 with the 6 gear trans. My gold pan is the closest to seeing batteries got dust her out . What I am asking is this what modern transmission...

Who says it’s for old guys :lol: I like older rigs better than the new stuff... With the exception of one or two vehicles. But I’d say build it based off what you want it to do. And if you have a beat up chassis you can mod it to take a newer...
I got a couple cars off ebay. Both have 6-gear transmissions. I have only had one of these before and passed it on without messing with it, in favor of stealths.
I have 3 observations/questions:
1: the diff gear fits very loosely on the inner diff...

Used to run 48P spur on my six gear trannys with no problems. The gear floats on the diff balls and all have some wobble without the pinion gear engaged. Can't remember who made the ones I ran but they fit great. Trackmaster made a long diff shaft...
