Why do these go for so much? Are they just rare of do they perform better? I'd like to put something worthy in chris's tranny.

Just saw the set on eBay and they're not worth that much.

They've mostly sold for a third or less of his price in the past.

I recently installed a modest 2S brushless system in to a stealth-equipped RC10 and hoped that the trans could handle it. I think it might if the bearing, gears and even the top shaft wasn't worn. Under full power, it will skip a tooth occasionally....

Got it all back together and took it for a test run. I think the diff is slipping and was planning to loosen the slipper and maybe tighten the diff. But I decided to run it for a while and just be very gentle on the throttle. It is fast and maybe a...

I also have the standard front gear (blue). The blue gear was sold separtely, so the there must be a way to mount it on the backgear....

Last post

I checked mine today, the counter gear is not the same as yours ED, it is press fitted and not held with a cross pin. As far as I could see it isn't bent.

shodog -my original spur is 44 tooth, but I might want a different size so I could play with...

What's the durability like on them? I picked up a couple basket case goldpans and to my supprise both transmissions have 48p gear sets in them.. I was thinking of using one set in my 6-gear runner 2s lipo with a 13t brushed motor. Think it would...

I have seen some of the outdrives eventually get rounded out where the bone rubs. I have also seen that on some rear axles, so I assume it's not strictly related to the hardening on the thorp stuff. Otherwise, the gears are nice and smooth.

First post

I just scored this on the 'Bay...I hope I'm not mistaken, but isn't this comparable to the OT-76 Hard Final Pinion Gear? I confirmed with some searching that it's made out of steel.

Part # 4738 info:

Last post

Just a quick confirmation--received the gear today, it's an exact match for the stock OT-41 gear. It's made of steel however, and is significantly heavier than the stock aluminum gear. As OT-76 hard final pinion gears are few and far between (and...

Thanks

I'm wanting to restore a couple of Optimas, and want to replace a lot of the screws. Could someone suggest anywhere online that sells screw sets, or general modelling screws?? What do you guys do for replacement screws?

Sorry for the boring...

Last post

I want to bump this because I never found screws for Hot Trick parts. I finally got back to working on this today and the Optima ones I have (new and old) don't work well with the Hot Trick parts. Are there any standard screw sets for rc?
