Questions & Answers

Could you please explain why RPM caster blocks are needed?

No, it does not come with just the gears and bearings from original gear boxes. Regardless of whether you're upgrading or not, you can use either the stock caster blocks or any of the aftermarket ones

Do the transmission gears come with it?

It does not, you use the ones you already have. It works just fine with the stock gears, though

My model uses a 1/8 scale motor. Am I able to run it?

There is a motor I run that is a 2400 kV castle creations Although I am not certain if it is 1/8th scale or not, it does not fit as well as the brushed motor I had In other words, I mean a full range of adjustment.

Is this compatible with larger motors such as those manufactured by Castle, Hobbywing, etc? It would be nice to avoid the purchase of an IntelliBox if at all ?

The Traxxas Slash 2WD, Bandit, electric Rustler, and this model, in particular, is compatible with this part. The Stampede is a two-wheel electric vehicle. It's worth noting that RPM makes other models for different cars if yours is not the one you have. Personally, I think this is an excellent It's worth it to me not only since I get a nice and solid heat sink for the motor, but also because I can adjust the angle of the back wheels, which I believe will give you a better turning response.

Selected User Reviews For RPM Hybrid Gearbox Housing and Rear Mounts for Traxxas 2WD Electric, Black

It's a great unit, but the instructions are laughable
4/5

Despite the fact that the instructions are sorely lacking, this is a very good RPM part. If you unfold the page and see the instructions in their entirety, you almost feel like you are making a joke. If you want to know what to do with it, fold it up and use it as a coaster. I know how to do it because I've had a couple. * Note 1) Don't get lost in all the different screws and nuts that For those of you who enjoy RC cars and trucks, you should have a good caliper tool, either digital or analogue. To get the best results, use that to measure each area. Having directions will only make things confusing and slow down the entire process. 2) Tie the slipper shaft to the slipper shaft using two screws over length, and install locks on the other side. The two screws above and below the slipper shaft, as well as the one directly below, can all be installed over length with lock nuts. Having nothing back out of the system is very powerful and increases the strength of the entire unit. 3). Get rid of those stupid jam nuts provided, and replace them with M4 nylon locking nuts. For extra security, use Vibra-tite thread conditioner on the threads to prevent them from breaking. Their decision will not be reversed, and this is one of the most important structural issues. Don't over grease your transmission! It is best to use a very light coating. In the case of moly grease (team associated black grease) or synthetic lithium types (Mobilith SHC 100), both are fine. You will slough off any extra you put on immediately after the first use and that will only cause heat dissipation problems and 4) I have a Hot Racing sealed diff, and it works very well. When it is being built, great care must be taken, or else it could The building process should go as smoothly as possible if you take a few careful steps. If you choose to go higher than 3S with these trunnions, I would not recommend lower than 2. Get the FLM Super Tranny if you want to set a new land speed record or do insane jumps. 5) After you build it, make sure that the thread lock on the suspension arms is cured prior to using it. Be sure all other screws and nuts are tight, then make the most of your time!.

This is a great product
5/5

I catapult my slash off the skating ramps a lot, and I do a lot of heavy jumps. There was no way to support the motor screws after the old gear box was pulled through. I was impressed with the quality of this product at a good price. The aluminum plate seems super solid and the motor is going to be held solid by it. I installed it today and it looked perfect. It worked well in a few test runs. It seems to be a great replacement for the original. I haven't put it through any real abuse yet.

That's not the way it was supposed to be! A few of the screws that come with the new and the factory screws that are intended to be reused do not fit well
3/5

Ideally, the fastener holes in the housing should be wider, but they are too narrow, so the screws stick out or bottom out. It is impossible to use the entire assembly due to this defect. Supposedly, it is an improvement over stock, but the stock case works effectively, while this one doesn't.

There are no fit issues
5/5

It was very noticeable that the temperature had dropped. This wall mount is easy to install, bolts up quickly, and looks great while it does. PM has once again risen to the challenge! Even though I did not measure exact temps, the difference in temperatures between the stock Traxxas gearbox and this one is noticeable. How hot is it going to be? I am estimating 20+ degrees. I received a 170-RPM gearbox when I plugged in a Traxxas I turned the motor 180 degrees and now I am able to hold my finger on the motor while running lipo after lipo without stopping. I am extremely The other comments I took into consideration mentioned a gap or not sealing quite right, but I had ten percent, I mean TEN percent issues with this product. Even though the directions are pretty bad, all the information you need is there once you read them My only request for improvement on this design would be to make it better. As stated earlier, this kit comes with half of the screws necessary for installation. If you plan to replace an existing Traxxas gearbox, this will not be a problem since you reuse some of the screws found on it Traxxas screws can be odd-shaped and not available at all hardware stores, so otherwise they can be too difficult to find. The kit does not come with a spur gear cover, but the Traxxas OEM one fits well. Both the Traxxas and RPM wheelie bar/motor guards fit well as well.

You'll be on your way in no time with this easy installation
5/5

For my 2wd Slash, I bought this to replace the stock transmission, and it works just fine. I have been able to run 3 pinions higher than I was able to with the stock gearbox since I installed your pinion lever. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Take your time to read instructions carefully
3/5

A complicated part of installing Latin is Make sure you pay attention to the It is a challenge to install installation screws that are new and old together. There are a variety of screw sizes to choose from as well. You're going to need some time to do the install, about an hour from start to finish if all the tools are available. Replace or upgrade everything at once whenever possible so you don't need to tear things apart periodically.

4/5

It does not come with all the screws that you had on your old one. Only the ones you didn't have.

This is the traditional quality of RPM
5/5

A RPM product will never let you down. It is the motor plate that makes this upgrade stand out.
