ECX9001 is a set of internal metal gears. It’s holding up to 3S 100C 10bl120 3674 for me on proline badlands. I’m also running a metal spur and hardened steel axles.

The AX10 trans can be installed with some modifications. There is a lot of aftermarket support for it including all metal gears and cases, different slippers, etc. Downside is it is a locker so that would be a poor choice for racing

Thanks man I had metal spur gear on mine but burnt threw so many pinon gears don't know if it was the gear box the mesh or the spur gear so I went back to plastic spur gear then it started to burn cluch up i have 2 ecx ruckus 1/10 I got one that is running good the only problem I'm having with it is keeping the steering arms on any ideas on that thanks for your help

I run Traxxas 3471x (I order two sets) for all my suspension arms. I previously had a set of the metal adjustable length arms with the two lock nuts and heim joints at each end, after just one run there was more play in the ball ends of them than the stock stuff. I recommend getting away from the stock ball/cup connection entirely. RPM and Hot-Racing offer steering "servo savers." I have run both, there are pros and cons to each but both are better than stock and less sloppy.

It was likely the gear mesh issue. 48p likes to be a little on the tight side, but you should always have a hardened steel pinion when using a metal spur gear. I have also had a problem with the slipper disks, but mine was that they wouldn't hold big power they would burn up or spin on the spur. I solved that by making my own. You can find more details in my thread here:

I made my own and superglued it on. I also run the slipper very tight and replaced the locknut with doubled nuts and loctite.

The input shaft gear, the idler gear, and the differential gear (part 33) all use 2 bearings. The diff uses two large bearings externally and the idler and input shaft gear each use two small ones internally. ECX1022 is the part number for the set (not available individually). If that is the part you need, just order ECX9001 it is the full metal versions of each. 2S or greater you will eventually destroy the stock ones.

this is the specific post where I start discussing the issues I was having with the stock-style slipper clutch assemblies and the next 3 posts detail the trials and errors which eventually resulted in something that works.

And this is it today, roughly 3 weeks later. Haven't touched it since. We run about one 3s pack through it a day, on average.

If you run a metal spur you must run hardened steel pinions Robinson Racing makes some of the best pinions available but make sure you get the hardened ones or you will just destroy them with the steel spur gear.

By steering arms I am assuming you mean this part?


Best fix for the screws constantly coming out of those is to get these https://www.ebay.com/itm/152699186256?epid=1333737509&hash=item238d94ac50:g:myoAAOSwy1BgdLEp and use blue threadlocker on the screws.

Buy a new one they are only $100ish you will spend more money trying to fix that one.
