Which tranny is that?

[Lonestar]

Hi guys

I recently picked up a(nother) Rc10 Graphite, with a funny transmission on... I suspect it's an A&L but I'd like your input on that one. To note, I have one that looks extremely similar on a Tamiya Astute which i also received only a couple of weeks ago and that I haven't had a chance to disassemble... but i was told there's a belt instead of the typical 3-gear cascade...



Also posting a few more pics of the car just for kicks





Inputs welcome

Thanks!
Paul

A&L Lethal Weapon trans fror sure!

mmmh the name only turns me on already

How did this thing perform back in the days? Efficient? Reliable? Or complete dog crap?

Thanks!

or a lethal weapon II?
I kind of forgot what the difference was, but it's been treated in older posts: happy hunting.

They were intended for the rc10, astute and ultima, I believe the outdrives were slightly different sized for the rc10.
Some differences are possible depending on the options also:
- blue pink or yellow
- moterplate can be anodised CNC-ed alumium with cooling slots over the entire surface, or the much cheaper version: black GRP
- slipper included or not (easily retrofittable)

the lethal weapon 1 had individual balls inside the diff to make up the bearings, the l.w.2 had standard sealed bearings.

Thanks for the info, all.
