I will show you how to clean a Transmission on a Traxxas Rustler VXL, this is the same for the Slash, Bandit and Stampede, and you can also use this method to clean other Transmissions on other cars, the video is a bit long, so I am going to give you some options:
1. Watch the entire 17:49min video
2. Click here to skip the part about what you need 2:28
3. Click here if you don't want to watch me take the Transmission out of the vehicle 5:12
4. Click here if you just want to see how I clean the Gears and Transmission Case, and don't want to see how I take the Case apart 8:25
5. Click here if you just want to see how I clean out the differential 10:54
6. Click here if you just want to watch me put the Case back together 12:38
Thanks For Watching

10 year old video and still helping people out! I used your video to take apart my rustler to see what was making noise. Unfortunately I think the spur is warped but I took the opportunity to grease the insides!

@firstmkb 12 лет назад

Excellent video - great information, and top quality editing! Thanks for posting it, it was very helpful. I took apart soooo much more than I needed to before I found this. I could not believe how badly I trashed my idler gear - I must have torn 5 teeth off of it. My son will be happy to get it back on the road again!

@alexha8830 10 лет назад

Good job. An actual assembly video that has everything IN focus, with clear and acted out instructions for every step. An idiot couldn't screw this up.

@AndrewGreenham 13 лет назад

Thank you for the best video on youtube bud!! Seriously, I've been looking for a video that shows me how to take everything apart down the the diff and this is the ONLY one! Once again thanks, great vid!

@qwest1000 13 лет назад

A very valuable presentation and nicely done. I have saved it for reference when I rebuild my Traxxas Bandit this week. Thank you!

@JoeVick 12 лет назад

Thanks! I recently did this based on your video. Very helpful! I used some thicker grease in the diff (White Grease with Teflon). Gives it a much more 'limited slip' feeling to it.

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HELP ME BUILD THE KING, THANKS.

@roynelson7613 8 лет назад

this was a great video man I just got me a used Rustler I am building for Speed runs and I wanted to see what it was like inside the transmission now I know thanks a bunch buddy

@GrandEpicenter 13 лет назад

Great video, very informative. I ended up stripping my transmission gears on my stampede by using a 21 tooth pineon gear upgrade. Lesson learned though which is use metal gears if you plan any upgrades either with regards to the motor or the pineon gear.

@misu200692 13 лет назад

i don't have a rc car and i think i won't buy myself one but i watched the whole video well done mate!

@MrDJidZ 14 лет назад

Cool vid man. Helped me out a bunch

@FloridaPoolGuy 15 лет назад

Awesome, thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! 5 Stars!

@BigMikesHobbyChannel 15 лет назад

man i had this clicking sound. looked at my ears and they looked fine.came to your video and it was really helpful. luckily when i took a very close look i saw a grain of sand in my spur. ONE FREAKING GRAIN OF SAND! think i might invest in a rpm cover. thanks for your great vids anyways

@yakanies 13 лет назад

great video man now i can put my traxxas back together

@coltmckinney 13 лет назад

What a great video - I like how you fast-forwarded in parts! thanks

@BusterBunkergamer25 14 лет назад

I usually just clean my plastic parts in water minus bearing and gears.. plain old plastic. much easier and I mix a little windex and wd-40 in and it gets it scary clean, I usually let my bearings sit in oil for a while. Very good video

@timoulete76 12 лет назад

This man is awesome, nice tutorial, from France

@xXShadowRejectsXx 14 лет назад

i got a rustler today :), performance is amazing

@pieman12345678987654 14 лет назад

I use this stuff called fast dry multi purpose solvent. let me tell you, this stuff works wonders for cleaning gears. its also a good idea to remove the rubber seals on the bearings and blast through them with that cleaner solvent stuff. I am a super rc hobbyist so I have upgraded to stainless steel bearings and running 30,000 weight oil in the diff. grase is to thin and allows the inside tire to unload to easy for good handling.

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

Glad it helped, I got that clicking sound every time I go to my dirt track, so I have to go down and pick the dirt out of my spur with my pocket knife, so the first thing I did was get the RPM gear cover, and that made it even worse because the top of the gear cover kept popping up and letting dirt into the gear cover, and since the bottom of the gear cover is sealed off the dirt collects in there and keeps getting in the spur (see next comment.....)

@Tintamar5678 13 лет назад

Awesome thanks for sharing. Needed to know this, got an aluminum gear box coming in the mail

@tenactitans 13 лет назад

@ScienceyCubes Rustler Vxl Is AMAZING but lately I've heard these noises coming from the transmission so thats why im here to learn how to take it apart properly

@999benhonda 14 лет назад

i shedded 3 of the 4 planetary gears in my rustler vxl on 3s lipo. i was pulling wheelies and hitting a speed bump with just the rear tires...doing a forward flip and landing back on all fours. did it 20 or so times before the diff shredded.

@newlacecucataluna5646 11 лет назад

3 years after getting the rustler brushles ; i dediced to open the transmision, It was as new as first day...I think... absolutly good I use only 9.9 volts no tooths destroyed sorry my english!!!

@DargoDog 11 лет назад

Great rebuild tutorial for the Magnum 272! A faster way to get the old grease out of the gear teeth is to use a tooth brush.

@JMatt425 8 лет назад

@RealWorldAviationandGaming9392 7 лет назад

BTW, nice informative video, Thanks!

@Jamblinman 14 лет назад

hello. i to have a rusty umm all i have is black grease. not sure if its silicone. but would getting the white grease for the housing gears be recommended (im about to replace my bad gear housing with a aluminum one. old one busted when hit a fence lol.) i swear that fence came from no where

@orangeboy97 11 лет назад

Can someone tell me which gear part that is at 14:51 he has in his hand. I'm missing that part and can't find where to order it from.

@blaisesarate6729 5 лет назад

Does anyone know what the rod is called on the idler gear. I bent mine.

@pants1963 12 лет назад

So white lithium grease for the gears in the transmission other than the diff and then the diff has silicone grease? Thanks

@gluka47 13 лет назад

@TheUHUstick your idle gear is messed up does it make a grinding noise when you give it some throttle

@brando555555 10 лет назад

Actually lithium grease works pretty good for the diff. Since it isn't sealed the silicone grease is more likely to work it's way out. Lithium grease is thicker and stays inside better and if you pack it full it works more like a limited slip giving equal power to both wheels... which is better for off road driving. The silicone grease is good for driving on pavement though as you really don't need the diff to act like it's locked.

@HL-OOI 11 лет назад

can use diff oil instead of selicone grease for the diff gears? i saw the diff needs to be sealed to use diff oil..

@fasteddieskustoms 12 лет назад

I noticed the second grease (white) was diffrent from the first. What kind did you use outside the differential?

@xXShadowRejectsXx 14 лет назад

i got a question... at 05:43... when you removed the tape... does the transmission come stock with the tape over it? thanks :D im just curious lol...

@Ydoucare8 14 лет назад

i baught the pozitrain for my stampede puts full power to the wheels. only about 15 bucks to. It replaces the 5 small gears inside the differential gear for one pice, this allows both wheels to spin at the same time in the same direction. No more opposite directions with no load.

@420sack 14 лет назад

if you dont have enough lithium grease on the main gears will it be loud? because i took my gears apart to experiment but most of the grease was on my fingers, so i just put it back together and i ran it and it was loud. could that be the problem why it was louder than usuall?

@lollollollollol48 13 лет назад

how do you ge the iderler gear off of the input shaft. my input shaft is bent. please help

@forresttrenaman 13 лет назад

@peroxidal Yes, they won't overheat and /or get stripped at high speeds like the plastic ones.

@tomcarrick3083 10 лет назад

have you put e revo tyres on that truck?

@kylereed136 12 лет назад

Hey, i have a question... I just bought a Rustler yesterday. "its not the one in the picture" i was driving it for about 5 mins, than out of the blue, the tires quit moving, but the transmission is still running when i press the trigger, i took it apart, the black gear teeth or what you call it, its not touching the motor...

@HobbyKing1000 13 лет назад

were did you get the front and rear bumpers 4 ur rustler?

@thelongboarder10 13 лет назад

thanks alot this helped so much

@RCESCAPES 12 лет назад

great informative video!! :)

@NumbAchilles 12 лет назад

I want a stiffer diff for less slip. My Slash comes stock with "grease" in the diff. Traxxas sells different WT "OIL" that comes in a variety of WT from 10k to 100k... is it just grease and they call it oil?

@joeyfarr16 12 лет назад

when you took that gear cover off, is that where i would put the pinion gear to make it go 70mph?

@huntersafratowich8609 3 года назад

Is clear silicone grease safe for traxxas transmission

@samsalzman2000 12 лет назад

was the grease you put on all the gears before you put the on the other side of the case lithium grease or ? PLEASE HELP!

@IRISH0627 13 лет назад

I used cow rc de greaser and it worked great!!!!

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

it works great in my Rustler, especially at the track, because if I accelerate rely fast, and the back end starts to slip out the gyro corrects it before I even notice it.

@101quadrider 14 лет назад

wat batt can i use for a long runtime on my stampede vxl

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

yes it is, I have another video showing it as well.

@luckynit10 13 лет назад

where did you buy the grease and wrenchs

@robinwilliams2585 12 лет назад

there caled gurb screws or set screws just so hapens i need to rebuild my trany thanks for the vfd

@seandav123 13 лет назад

Hey, I get the same car. I stripped a gear fully. What is the best new transmission to buy? thanks!

@quiksilver330 13 лет назад

will litium grease work for the differentail?

@owengilbert 13 лет назад

where did u get that turn table thing that ur car is on

@rcaction0912 13 лет назад

@forresttrenaman where did you git those red tools

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

so I just got some 32p gears and will be running without a gear cover, witch is suppose to eliminate the problem, I haven't tried them out yet so don't know for sure. PM me if you need more info.

@logitechz3 14 лет назад

@cheesedude24 The slipper clutch what traxxas uses is already a metal one. What do you mean?

@RE5niggajoedickballs 13 лет назад

Does the Slash 4x4 have a transmission or just the diffs?? Or are diffs the same as transmission?

@12542780 13 лет назад

Whats the tape do on the bottom?

@iTalkApple96 13 лет назад

Once you take the gears out of the transmission case could you take the empty case and wash it out in soapy water??

@xXShadowRejectsXx 14 лет назад

nice vid!

@luckynit10 13 лет назад

where did you by the grease and wrenchs

@UnitCrane514 12 лет назад

I use soap and water and wash every part on my truck so the new grease goes on a clean surface, how do all the plastic parts hold up on Traxxis? Everything is aluminum on my Associated RC-10 so I want to know how good some of the newer rides are holding up.

@MrWelch313 13 лет назад

does the rustler come with steel gears or plastic?

@lewisvz 15 лет назад

im only 15 lol. good you will be on your way to being the smartest kid in the world in no time.

@loganfoster4277 13 лет назад

What car stand are you using??

@cataractist 13 лет назад

I am going to the beach next week and I am thinking about taking my Rustler VXL. You think that's a bad idea? I was thinking I could just clean it real good when I get back home. If they are ok to drive on sand, do you know of a good paddle tire and wheel set I could pick up pretty cheap? Thanks and great videos!
