The RPM website still lists the transmission.

Might need to buy a spare just in case.

I exploded mine, so I'll probably never buy another one.
It's bad enough ebay sellers sold them for more than the price of new ones before, so I'm waiting to see what they'll fetch now.
Maybe RPM is going to melt them all down and start making other RC10 parts in translucent white.

Yeah most everyone is just running on whats left on their shelves. I had one bought on eBay and got a message it was no longer available. Pretty sure that store buys as they sell. I hate overpaying but at this point i just really need to buy one or wait for an stealth case to become available cheap- and that ain't gonna happen

Why were these tranny conversions still produced in translucent white but A arms and other stuff that is still available isn't? were the tranny cases left over product from the 90's?

believe so. If I could find the other thread about it I believe it was asked and answered there...but just can't seem to find the other thread

I wonder if A arms for the RC10/T are next on the chopping block.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Better pick up your shorty bumpers and suspension arms while you can.
