RC10 32pitch Transmission: I wanna throw it across the room!!
Hey, can anyone help me out with the RC10 32 pitch transmission? I wanted to get a Stealth for it, but Æ Stopped making it...
But anyways, the 32 pitch has these white little things that hold the bearings, and they pop out.... well every time I try to put a Spur on, they pop out!
This has become rediculous, and ANNOYING!! Not every so often does it do this, but EVERY time!! Does anyone know what's going on? Anyone have a Stealth RC10 tranny? Rebuild kit or SOMETHING!!!
Help!!

HA! now that is funny. When I first built my tranny, I shoegoo'd it in place. There is no real reason to take out the bearing adaptor from that side of the tranny, ever. I would goo it into place and not have to worry about it anymore.

See if a local hobby shop has a flanged bearing that'll replace it. You may need to do some plastic shaving to get it to fit.

), and soon I'll have B3 rims on the rear, because I've upgraded the rear to B3 axles(so I could have standard bearings, the flanged ones were impossible to find!! 
)

Losigramps is correct, your transmission problem is probably because there needs to be a flanged bearing in that little white piece your picture points to, then a e-clip holds that bearing in place.

By the way, I figured out what was wrong; The E clip came off, so the top shaft would flop around in there!

I believe the instructions even said to put a peice of servo tape over the end to keep dirt and debris out of the bearing. That adaptor ring allowed the top drive shaft to be reversed to mount the motor on the opposite side. I don't think that associated ever released a chassis/motor plate to do that. I do seem to remember there were some chassis kits that allowed you to mid mount the motor, in which case you would need to switch the side the motor was mounted to for correct rotation.
One of the hot mods we did for oval racing was to replace the idler gears with steel ones. This freed (is that a word?) up the tranny which was difficult to do with the nylon idlers. It did, however, add more rotating mass to the transmission.
Another interesting 'feature' they included with the tranny was the flet dust shields and rings to retain the felt on the out drives. I think in the end they served to capture the dirt more than to keep it out.

Should see if anyone still has that belt setup for the RC 10.
