$18.99 Amazon Transmission Worth it?

[@joespafford6499]

I appreciate videos like this, helps the consumer

[@old-rcplane-phart]

The aluminum case transmissions are all metal & nice! Can't beat the price if under $40 on Amazon.

[@danielkonrad1444]

But it is incredibly loud. At least the one I got.

[@lukasgarage956]

I had to cut a section out the bottom of the one I got ......the gear was rubbing.

[@thomasgross8289]

I've been running one in my redcat gen7 sport for about 2years and no issue other than the stock skid plate was to weak. Have it paired up with a HH trailmaster sport 27t

[@daver18qc]

On Aliexpress if you search "crawler transmission metal gear" you can get full metal ones (case and gears) for like 25usd. Might be worth a look!

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah for sure

[@allancheli]

Its fine, iuse this with a scx10 clone witha 13t motor. Just make sure to put threadlocker on the bolts that mount it to the frame

[@JuanOrtiz-of1sr]

Have u tried putting axial gears in it or metal ones?

[@bendutfield2524]

Great vid exo! I’ve bought a couple things for my trx4 on there. Pretty decent stuff. Would like to see more budget vids from you. Keep on rockin!

[@AVRCgarage]

I'm using this transmission with 550 5 slot 12t motor and 3s lipo..and its good..

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

how is it now over a year later? im about to buy one

[@AVRCgarage]

@@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916 its still good bro.. every 3 months i will clean it up and change the grease...

[@rvlyssup]

Exact same transmission as in the AUSTAR chassis.

[@tigerone2353]

Bought benedict harry brass for trx6 & 4 portal covers. Perfect fit, finish. $15.00/pair

[@luism.fernandez2164]

The injora ones come with metal gears

[@ninjasupreme5966]

I bought one of these and the inner gears seem to skip teeth. Must have a bad gear mesh. I just got an all metal transmission though for $18.95 on eBay. Hope that doesn’t have any issues.

[@AngryTurds]

Can it be mirrored? Does that bung push-out where the bearings are for the input shaft?

[@RC-jt2gx]

I'm very surprised that there aren't more choices of "good" aftermarket transmissions and digs for us. Trailing, climbing, bashing are all fun. But, for me I've found crawling to be the most fun and challenging. I would love to see dig units that will engage with less wheel rotation. Having to move a vehicle so far sometimes to align the digs disc segments for engagement is sad. I've seen in your videos how far you have to move sometimes for your Capra's digs to engage. This sometimes puts you so far out of position the dig becomes useless at that point.

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah man, I have to consider myself lucky when it hits right. I'd love a better more precise way to lock up the dig

[@rc-daily]

I have one similar to that but it's all metal gears but it came with a solid mounted 48 pitch spur gear. It's one tough transmission. It handled my 6 year old son on 3s with those huge deep woods tires. He beat the shit out of that scx10.2

[@robertdale7453]

ahh its all good, just shows real life, stuff doesn't go right. As a cheap replacement it would work, but personally think its better to spend a bit more to get the all metal ones, the vanquish dig didn't fit the one I had though, as the last gear doesn't have the 3 piece construction to fit the supplied outputs. and the case is braced a bit different than SCX or Vanquish 3 gear and wouldnt close all the way. just an FYI

[@ExocagedRC]

wow so this thing is almost useless, oh well I'll still give it a drive in something just to see if it lives.

[@ajustice2010]

What budget transmission would you recommend for portal builds?

[@pauls1816]

i always get second hand gen 7 pro trans for around 20

[@ExocagedRC]

Those are actually good and if you get the steel idler they hold up well.

[@erazco6568]

What kind of transmission do you recommend for a 1/10 Rock Bouncer

[@BlackSmithRC]

Looks like what I have in my 6x6...Injora..work good on 2S....but I have a modified Traxxas slipper clutch on it.

[@rafaeltavarez2794]

I bought a injora from Amazon a copy of axial scx10ii it’s really loud , and is fully lubricated. Wanted to know I if is loud because the gears are metal? Thanks

[@jeffparryncc1701]

Has anyone tried the Axial Racing SCX10 Alloy Center Gear Box - 1set - GPM SCX038? It's just the casing, which is all I need as I have the metal upgrades already. Cheers.

[@DoRC]

There really aren't any applications where shielded bearings are better in RCs. Most of the time shielded bearings are used because they are cheaper. The only instance I know of where that's not the case would be vitavon and that case he just doesn't know better in spite of me trying to explain it to him.

[@imchris5000]

I wish they would just put ceramic or stainless bearings in crawlers from the start its a pain to change them all over. they always use ones that get a single drop of water on them and seize

[@DoRC]

@@imchris5000 ceramic or stainless really won't make much difference. The most important thing is that they are sealed and that they are high quality.

[@ExocagedRC]

you don't see many rubber sealed bearings in motors, also the rubber seals are a friction point and in the case of the TRX4 transmission that friction adds up to more heat and a loss of efficiency, I like rubber sealed bearings more than the shielded however I'm about to try the NMB shielded bearings in the back end of the lasernut as supposedly they are a stronger bearing, we will see.

[@brianonthego]

I have a some questions about an scx10 II. I want to mount a Power Wagon cab only on mine, except I have the extremely long 2 speed style transmission, which will stick way past rear of cab in the bed area. How much would it take to install a short normal axial trans. In my rig? I know trans, trans mount plate. Don't know in drive shafts will fit. Any info you can offer is appreciated.

[@andyanderson4189]

I would have like to see some runtime on this trans in the video. Put it in some hard positions that may cause issues and see if it will hold up, not just speculate on if it will hold up or not.

[@Andrew-hh3ol]

Would it be okay for a custom chassis that is scx style?

[@ExocagedRC]

Idk man it really doesn’t look strong at the internal gears. You’d be better off getting a slightly more expensive trans like I have linked in the description. I have this one and I will give it a try at some point but I don’t expect much.

[@Andrew-hh3ol]

@@ExocagedRC that’s what I was thinking because long term it’d save me money
