Are they still in business? I cant find their website. They had some pretty cool stuff. I love their gears. I would like to see if they are making any new stuff

You can find the occasional Thorp part for old Traxxas vehicles, but I haven't seen a ball diff in years. Usually the idlear delrin gears and the top shaft delrin gears are what show up on ebay.

It's a shame too as I have one of their ball diffs for my Raider and for my Clodbuster and the quality is so good. Really wish they were still around.

There's several brands I wish were still around.

Can anyone help with this one?

I know some of you don't visit the Tamiya forum and this is maybe more of a Thorp question :?

Is anyone familiar with the Thorp Dirt Burners 64 pitch Diff conversion? I've got one and the spacer on the shaft is too long and it won't let me close the trans case. It also protrudes past the idler gear. I've attached some pics against the...

I have two of the Thorp kits. I'm going to check what versions I own now.

Thank you, I'm pretty curious

You don’t see much info out there about these…This is from my collection for reference.

Thorp hard anodized aluminum gears.

Early parts:
#5101 left gear
#5102 right gear
#5103 Diff gear

Later they came out with a center bearing diff gear,...

Last post

The Thorp Delrin top shaft gear also fits properly on the Losi A-3120 Hydra-Drive/Slipper shaft. Which means it will also fit the A-3007 JRX-Pro top shaft and the A&L Power Clutch shaft.

I've just done this exactly after I received the...

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...

I bought this for my Astute and I guess/hope it's 48DP would that be correct :?: Dirt Burners.JPG

Last post

Not sure about the astute version, but on the ultima/optima version the inner gear and counter gear were distinct for the underdrive/overdrive sets. You couldnt mix/match at will, but one of them worked with stock (as the one above probably does.

All joking aside, I've been incredibly busy since summer semester. I thought I would get more of a break in course-load this fall, but that was miles from the reality.
Consequently, all the good qualities I had here have been transferred to the...
