RPM Gearbox Install 2WD Traxxas Stampede, Rustler, Slash

Another step in our RC Rescue of this 2WD Traxxas Stampede!

We install a RPM Hybrid Gearbox Housing and Rear Mounts.
This part is not only made of the durable RPM plastic, but also has a thick aluminum motor mount to help dissipate heat.

Overall, fitments was excellent, as we have come to expect from RPM. The instructions were a little difficult to get through, but the whole process is straightforward enough.

Very happy with how this has turned out and the improvements I expect this makes to the truck!

This is probably the only RPM part I don’t have on my stampedes. Looks like a great piece 👍🏁

Hi mate tx for the video, I have one question you did not show in the video.
My top motor screw (the 2 screws attaching the motor to the aluminium plate) rubs againt my spur gear ( I run a 90T normally) I tried 86T and same issue.
I noticed you had replaced the top screw with a smallhead version to resolve this(with a lot of blue loctite?)
My question is basically if this is the only thing one can do to solve this (also the original has a chamfer to fall into the slot)
Does this work ok for you? tbh I find it quite bad engineering from the part of RPM if this is still the same after all these years, no revisions or anything.
Looking forward to you reply, cheers!

This piece is really a waste of money, it does nothing different than the motor plate and the heat dissipation is negligible at best. If you want something that makes a difference get the Pro Line or the new Traxxas 272R gearbox. Unless you absolutely must have your gearbox color to match whatever the stock gearbox is all you need. And if you are going to do all of this work you really need to do maintenance on your diff too, no reason not too. Surprised it wasn't mentioned since the diff in the video sounded a bit crunchy lol

I did not know that they made an entire rear bulkhead from rpm

Did you dremel more room to move the pinion closer to your spur on the stock gearbox housing?

Hey man. Know this video is older. But I just put one in my 2wd slash. For some reason, the back bottom part had a little gap between the halves and wouldn't fully close up. Is that normal? I don't want it to be slinging grease all over and burning up the trans.

It was a really tiny gap but it still worried me a bit

[richardvirchow]

Are you going to put grease in the gears?

[jrc-fabs]

You should put the allow links on it that's a great upgrade

[chrisregister]

Is the rpm case stronger than the stock one?
