How-To - Upgrade Traxxas 2WD Transmission

[@superjoint57]

This video is for a transmission upgrade. These gentleman take their time to show any & all some things that may help. If you don’t like their approach to the upgrade, if you don’t like their physical aspects, if you don’t like their anything...MAKE YOUR OWN PERFECT VIDEO AND SHOW THE WORLD JUST HOW GREAT YOU ARE!!!!! Thank you Roger & Adam for your time, knowledge sharing & suggestions/advice. Please ignore the the negative & off the topic comments. 🤘🏻

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks a bunch for you support! I want to say we try ignore all the negative comments, but I swear, one day I will type in few comments Roger makes in return....its similar to when Jimmy Carr is calling out a heckler :) LOL We have been in business for over 15 years and I should admit that probably 99% of all folks out there are pretty cool...and we can totally live with the rest 1%. Thanks again for being with us and your support!

[@superjoint57]

RC Street Shop No problem...My pleasure! 🤘🏻

[@somenygaard]

I like these guys, no problem for me but... when you put yourself out there doing vid3os or whatever for the consumption of general public at large you open yourself up to criticism, and unfortunately it seems like as time goes on we find the % of losers with no manners or poor manners on purpose grows. Likewise we are free to berate them. On a side note I had to stop watching their videos with my kids, they are getting smart enough to catch and understand the sexual innuendos. Again, free speech so I’m ok with that...unless you want to stop that would work too!

[@afrog2666]

Gentleman is singular, gentleMEN is plural. You just got edified by a norwegian, YOU`RE welcome..

[@afrog2666]

Kids shouldn`t be online, the internet is a terrible place. And when they understand innuendo`s, they`re old enough to watch it, you should be open about that stuff and not have it be secret or forbidden, it will save them a lot of frustration and lying as time goes by ;) Same goes for cursing, if it`s forbidden and demonized, it will be attractive and seducing, like with smoking etc.. Unless you want them to keep everything from you as they grow up lol.. just sayin`.. Some uncomfortable conversations are worth having :)

DEFINITE NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!!! I bought a Rustler VXL & Bandit XL-5 in 2018. My son & I drove both of them maybe 1 month(too much power for his age). Been in storage since! Last month, I found em, pulled em both out, and me being a COMPLETE NOVICE, I took both apart as much as I could and detailed/cleaned them up! After 2nd battery run, the Rustler snapped the pin on the top shaft. Having zero knowledge about RC's I took to local hobby shop & watched them fix it for me. Had I found this video/channel a week ago...I'm sure I could have done it! Great camera visual & explanation here! I'll be stopping back by for more How To's... Thanks guys😎💪

[@rcbustanut2057]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just purchased an entire bearing kit for my rustler. I did the tires this yesterday. I have yet to do the transmission bearings. This was extremely helpful. I may also just go ahead & replace the diff with the sealed version while I'm at it, don't want to have to open it again lol. This ia the part of my traxxas that scares me a tad 😄 I'm ok playing with the pinion & spur, that's cake..... But those loads of tiny pins inside that box, well.... I call that box 'Pandora' 😂

[@JayFochs1337]

Roger, Adam, thank you. I've been lookin for a good video on how to maintain the diff on my slash for a WEEK. This is by far the best I've seen with in depth details shown instead of cut out. If y'all happen to see this please let me know if you've any maintenance vids on the 4x4 vxl Slash specifically, as I have both the 2wd and 4x4 and the 4x4 is certainly a bit more intimidating!

[@fozzy71111]

glad this showed up in my feed today. just converted my hopped up rustler to slash lcg chassis and lowered it for street bashing and maybe drags if I go to a sealed diff. this will be my next major upgrade for sure once I really want to get serious about a drag racing build.

[@mrquarters1]

Hey Guys. I want you to know that I I was gifted in 1992 and afterwards. It's actually quite a long story and I would like to send this to you to let you know I had come across your videos fixing tires on a Traxxas a vehicle with another video showing how to put the gear on to the motor and don't let it slip too much because it would overheat. I have learned quite a bit from the man with the red hair. About my gift? I've never met either one of you men but it's not too hard or difficult for me to pick up that the man with red hair is very knowledgable in these vehicles. No questions asked. I have an Emacs brushless truck and I have light pole three batteries running it. The plastic gears I have burnt most likely in around 20 of them because I am learning on my own and now that I know how to subscribe which I have subscribed to your channel and I know how to get to your videos, I would like to know if there's a way that I am supposed to tighten my tires on the back of my truck from wiggle in a little bit.? I have Botton many many many and too many parts from Traxxas. I would like to know if you tricks or tips as you will call them. I hope you can respond to me soon I'm going to be looking for more videos to come from you and ur little friend u have there. Thanks for your time and have a blessed day. Jason.

[@nsd2018]

I appreciate the info with the upgraded parts and even the cleaner. A few things though...I notice no blue loctite when screwing metal to metal. Also, I did not see any grease inside the gearbox, only inside the hot-racing diff??? Lastly, I did not find carbon fiber pads for the rustler from hot-racing. Are you using a version meant for a different vehicle? thanks!

[@swiftxb]

Was thinking the same thing with the grease on the gears and blue loctite. Before i even read your comment. Great minds think alike... :)

[@Rcstreetshop]

See above for my opinion on grease. the diff uses silicone oil not grease. the oil is there to provide resistance not lubrication. You are correct about the Loc-tite. I meant to use it but completely forgot. I'm not sure how Hot Racing lists the carbon pads. TRX15GS is the part number. They refer to them as "graphite" pads. they work very well.

[@karlwilson1799]

I just put wheel axle ball bearings on 1 yr old Rustler (60 2s lipo runs on dirt&grass) to replace the 8 bronze bushings. Steering was sloppy, now it's great! But when I was setting motor pinion mesh, I noticed a bit of radial play in the top shaft that the spur and slipper run on. Is that shaft that the slipper clutch is on in bearings or bushings from factory? I have 2 more 5x11x4 ballbearings, but I hate to break into the xmission mid season if this play is normal.

[@swiftxb]

Good call on the top gear/pin. I've had the same problem with my gear stripping and breaking that pin. I saved this video on my favorites. Thanks, for the part numbers. :)

[@ryanklassen6489]

Hey guys. Love this vid. Very thorough. You mention the 1 flaw in the traxxas case is the built in a-arm mounts. I agree this is a fault, although the rpm 3 piece with 4 small nuts is tought to tighten without removing a bunch of stuff. I feel the main fault of the traxxas is actually the fact that it has to be sealed with a piece of tape. Whats up with that? Look forward to watching more videos of yours. I was surprised how clean the bearings you removed are for a rustler that was driven hard. Mine always seems to get gross. I have to change the bearings everytime i do anything. I buy them by the 100 lot. Be excellent to each other.

Cheers for sharing your knowledge. I've found with my rustler vxl 3s, it always melts casing's where drive shafts are. Have been through 5 lots and getting to be a joke.

[@anthonybush9101]

Recently got the VXL and can't enjoy it as much as I want too because it flips. What can i do to make it stop flipping. Got the stock motor in and if I should change it what's a good motor for the Rustler

[@Rcstreetshop]

There are a number of reasons. Generally speaking you have too much grip. Adjust your slipper clutch so that it gives a little bit under heavy acceleration. OR adjust the way you apply throttle. You may also change gearing to slow down spool time which basically changes acceleration timing. Or try different tires (with less grip).

[@J_W650]

i have a rustler too (on 3s lipo), theres nothing efficient you can do about your front wheels getting off the ground. But you can buy a wheelie bar which prevents your car from flipping over backwards. Its just like 15$

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

Get the ChuckworksRC mid motor Rustler chassis

[@nickwilliams6869]

For more take off speed doese the pinion gear have to have more teath or smaller or both

[@haydenhobgood9132]

Is it possible to drill out the diff outputs to accept the set screw pins instead of the little grub screws on either side I recently got a used brushed stampede and with brushless upgrade and all metal drive train I bought metal drive shafts but they have the pin set screws and not the set screw on either side

[@rcactionfab7547]

I did Hot-racing sealed diff with Robinson idler with RPM case. No problem. Works great. One huge benefit of RPM case is the thick aluminum engine plate vs relying on plastic case. Especially if running lots of power. I also used the Robinson slipper. Seems to be bulletproof so far...

[@jaxenanderson1588]

Now the fluid you put in the differential is it like the kind you use in shocks

[@jaxenanderson1588]

Nevermind

[@Rcstreetshop]

It is silicone oil in both. The only difference is viscosity, lighter in shocks, heavier in differentials.

[@alexcody1319]

Yes, it is much more durable.

You're welcome. Make sure that you slipper clutch is tight this time

[@alarce5384]

After reassembled is it not necessary to grease the gears?

[@Rcstreetshop]

It depends....on the setup, gears, etc. If you are replacing a broke stock part, then probably NO

[@robinally6735]

Instead of that grease u used, is there a substitute that u can suggest that i can get in an automotive shop? also could i uae OIL instead of a grease?

[@Rcstreetshop]

You can totally get any lubricant (just make sure that it is not petrol based) in auto shop. That should do on parts where lubrication (less friction) is needed. On the diff however you need to provide some additional restriction by the means of oil to "lock" diff at higher RPMs. Grease won't do it, so we use oils with different viscosity.

[@Kenny_Edmonton]

I wonder if I should go with a hot racing sealed differential or just lock the differential in my transmission?

[@Rcstreetshop]

Before you lock it, try high viscosity 30-50K oil (it does pretty much the same but a bit differently)

[@dustinshort6207]

Or rip a piece of one of those silicone earplugs and stuff it into the diff. It's the equivalent of a slipper clutch in your differential, it is almost locked up, but will slip instead of something breaking.

[@Rcstreetshop]

@@dustinshort6207 Not quite, anything but silicone oil in the differential will mechanically lock it, while you suppose merely limit the slip.

[@mtbikerbob]

Like your video guys. Just wondering, it looked like there was no lube put on the gears when you reassembled, but metal on metal would seems to want some form of lube, especially if the diff grease is staying inside the diff.

[@Rcstreetshop]

For what we use it for, we do not use lube...believe it or not but lube will slow it down. RC gears do not last as long as gears in real cars, so sometimes you may get away without using lubrication.

[@muddfoot69]

dumb question, but is the diff upgrade just more durable? Same gear pitch?

[@Rcstreetshop]

Yes, it is. the whole transmission becomes more durable.

[@omgElwood]

Hey guys, thanks for the video, I saw James J question below, but I didn't see why you don't lube the sealed diff, idler, and top shaft gear teeth, do you put them in dry, or some sort of lube ?

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks for your comment. It is OK not to lube hardened gears, they very durable and wear resistant. In general metall gears require special lube which Roger didn't have on hand. Any other lube would actually slow the transmission down and add additional resistance for Motor/ESC.

[@richcarver24]

I have a slashvxl2wd what would be the best setup to go 50+ should I go aluminum pinion plastic spur? Pros cons

Enjoyed the vid... but wondering why you didn't put any white lithium grease on the sealed diff, idler, and top shaft gear teeth? Is it not needed anymore? I always apply it when I do maintenance on my trans. Thanks.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Lithium grease is for (ideally) plastic to plastic. Since Roger has metal gears he should be using a spacial grease for metal gears or don't use it at all.

[@dippy6540]

[@Rcstreetshop]

Check your throttle trimmer position (or better re-calibrate your throttle) and check motor (if it jerks under the load when you apply a little bit of gas, then it is a good indication that it might be faulty).

[@alexcast548]

Its could be that something got jammed into plastic spur gear and clicks every time it spins and hit metal pinion, or its could be that you idler gear got stripped...or differential. It is really hard to say over the internet.

[@igeliga]

Hi guys, what do you think is better to obtain a straight acceleration; the sealed differential you use in this video or the differential locker to make it posi?

It is never a good idea to lock differential, if you want to have straight acceleration; tire grip is uneven and nothing besides differential would address this.

Viscosity of shock fluid is different . Technically it is same silicone oil, but diff oil has much much higher viscosity. Standard shock fluid is 35-40 vs standard diff oil is 5000-10000...for some applications you may go up to 50000

It looks to have a different gear pitch, and larger diameter bearings, however, it is a sealed spider gear diff not a planetary diff like the electric, so stock its still better quality diff, just put a higher viscosity silicone diff lube in it and you will get a more "locked" diff action out of it. (Both wheels getting full power)

[@Rcstreetshop]

Jato transmission is completely different (nitro two speed transmission with clutch etc), but principals are the same.

[@bassbumm8768]

Are Boca bearings good for the transmission?

[@Rcstreetshop]

Boca ball bearings are pretty decent

[@zippy0099]

There are two tiny washers in this kit...where do they go? I noticed that you did not use them...?

[@robinally6735]

Why do you change the IDLER gear ? what are the advantages?

[@Rcstreetshop]

Its much durable then stock.

[@robinally6735]

So this part has broken?

[@robinally6735]

So this part has broken before? i would think it a difficult part to break.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Oh, no. It actually breaks pretty often. Even pins snap from time to time.

[@robinally6735]

Thanks for the speedy replies.

[@1200nomad]

What determines the weight of the diff fluid? Like how do I decide which to use? Thanks for all the great vids and info guys!

[@Rcstreetshop]

The number on the bottle is the viscosity . The higher this number the more "locked" your diff is. It really depends on the scale, power an grip along with your personal preferences, but in general, the more load you have the higher viscosity oil you need ot use.

[@1200nomad]

RC Street Shop thank you

[@Rcstreetshop]

Anytime, good luck with it!

[@omarnomberto8170]

Nice tutorial!. What kind of grease can i use on the transmission? is there any generic/easy to find grease suitable for the purpose? Greetings from Argentina

[@Rcstreetshop]

For most part you don't use grease on the transmission.

This video helped me a ton thanks guys.

[@Arthur-rf1hi]

Is this still the style they use for 2wd transmissions in traxxas cars today? I have not taken mine apart yet but im going to soon if its set up the same way

[@Greywolf74]

Yes

[@tjf8396]

Would a ball differential be better or worse than the sealed diff? I'm racing my slash and I want to know the best option. Thx guys

[@Rcstreetshop]

Sometimes it is possible to set up ball diff "more precisely". What is you race setup?

[@tjf8396]

RC Street Shop It has a hobbywing Quicrun 10BL60 with a 3500 kv 540 brushless motor on an lcg chassis. Everything is stock in the transmission. Sorry if I left anything out, is there anything I was missing?

[@Rcstreetshop]

3500kv is a good torque, but since you still have stock transmission, obviously you are not pushing it to the limits (otherwise you be busting gears or pins), so I'm thinking that ball diff may be a good fit for you.

[@tjf8396]

RC Street Shop Ok, thank you for your help

[@Rcstreetshop]

Anytime! 👍
