RC10GT Diff problems
 
Hi the diff gear in my RC10GT has destroyed itself and thus it needs replacing. Is it worthwhile getting an aluminium one or should i stick with the plastic ones?

Also where would be the best place in UK to get these from?

Many thanks

if you do swith to alum, it is best to switch all gears in the tranny.

I also am thinking of upgrading my gears to aluminum, but I was told by my lhs that putting 2 aluminum gears together is not good. Does anyone know if this is true? thanks

never heard that before. I have heard a million times tho that mixing gears will shorten the life of both of them. I have heard different theories about the proper way to lube alum. gears

well if mixing two aluminum gears myth is true it wont be a problem because you only have 1 aluminum gear one titanium and one hardened steal. go to tower hobbies they ship international and they have the tranny rebuild you want:D

yup...... anytime something on my rigs break I buy the best part. I never replace with OE parts cause if it breaks once it will break again.
