I know this is the wrong place but my brother is bringing over his rc10 worlds right now to ask me about transmission issue
So hoping for a quick reply is the transmission problem only the top shaft? Or is there something else to look at
Also going to build my B5 on over the next 4 days at holiday unit so can u give me heads up with known issues other than ball cups
Again sorry for posting it here but given last comments here I hope I get quick reply rather than trolling through 100s a pages

The other issues is the molding of the case as reported by others. Mines was really tight, the halves didn't fit together and had to be forced in. The ball bearings for the diffs were also extremely tight and had to be forced in. I contacted AE and they said they are sending me a new tranny case, idler gears, and new top shaft. It still hasn't shown up at my door so I'm going to e-mail them again. I've heard AE sending someone the original tranny case part, so the original must be of higher quality than the made in 2014 molds from China/Taiwan, LOL.
I ran the car anyways since I didn't want to wait forever, just make sure not to overtighten the tranny screws and run it in slowly to "break" it in. My tranny is a little smoother now but its still not as smooth as other AE 3 gear trannies I built and my B5M 4 gear. For the first 2 packs, it felt like I had drag brakes on the car. I could have screwed up the bearings or gears in there, but oh well, I'll completely rebuild the whole thing once I get the new parts from AE, if they ever show up!

My luck with AE kits has been very good. Built a T3, 3 T4's, the B4.2, the B5, the World's Car and just started a B5M. I did have some minor issues with the T3 years ago, and my Worlds Car had the transmission binding problem - but aside from that my kits have been very good and built up well.
I've had my 1st car in 1996 an rc10b2, b3, sc8e, sc10 ft, and a now a b5m that were all complete without any issues out of the box.... So I Guess I've been lucky with so many others on here having misfortune.
I just preordered a t5m now and I'm sure I just jinxed myself

Is it best just to order new ballcups when you order the kit? if so, which ones?
#248
I then threw that ball stud away when I was done. However, each ballcup was PERFECT when I was done.

After looking at the truck info you guys might want to save yourself some time and get the hard steering parts and glue them in. I have a feeling the front tires are going to put a hurting on them.

Still wish they'd make a rear motor kit.

I won our 13.5 superstock class last night with my Rm T4.2 against a prototype T5M (he built it himself out of a B5M...he was in the lead when one of his 3D printed arms broke) a centro and a 22T mid motor. Sometimes its luck and just not crashing!
