Traxxas slash 2wd level 4 upgrade FLM transmission
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Putting the newest model of the FLM transmission on my slash 2wd.
Pros: motor heatsink, not too heavy, quality aluminum, looks nice, great warranty
Cons: not the best if running rear bumper or traxxas wheelie bar, cutting of chassis needed, 3-piece design on bottom for arms.

You went through my whole description? Thats cool! Let me know if you have any questions!
Wow the new super tranny, super diff mod 1 has come a long way since these.
Got the transmission tooken off
Why not upgrade to a aluminum diff also?
Keep up the good work !! Looks good .Although i used the Hot Racing. Sealed diffrential.
Did I miss something. What failed on the RPM CASE? Because if ur changing the case because the gear on the diff failed maybe u should think again n upgrade the diff n idler . Just my opinion.
I may have just received a bad RPM case, but I had my gears strip inside a couple times after very little use. Never had the issue in the stock case or aluminum aftermarket which was weird
I'm surprised you didn't go ahead and upgrade your diff case to a sealed aluminum one
Good video! I use the RPM Hybrid case on both my basher Slashes and I've never had an issue until I ran one of them thru water. The aluminum cases are "bulletproof".(MIDWID)
just now finding your channel. great video.
How did RPMs Gearbox fail? Nice upgrade by the way.
Gears kept stripping in it after short uses. My have just been my case, idk.

I Had the same problem with the rpm gearbox
Schönes Video,hab mir jetzt das Alu Gehäuse auch bestellt in den USA,weil in Deutschland gibt’s mom keine
Great video my friend.
i have been bashing my slash with the rpm hybrid for little over a year and i can tell you its an amazing case, never heard of this transmission flex you speak of?
I bought (FLM) FastLane Machine's Aluminum Transmission Case and (FLM) FastLane Machine's Aluminum Differential and have been running both for 3 years without a problem.
I added a Castle Creations' 1406 Sidewinder 3 4600Kv Motor/ESC Combo. Set the gearing at 21T Pinion gear and 76T Spur gear. Using a 3-Cell LiPO, this set-up drives my 2WD Slash at 50MPH on 2.8 inch JConcepts Rulux Wheels with JConcepts G-Loc Tires (G-Locs aren't supposed to balloon - My set-up proves that wrong, they do balloon!) (NOTE: The motor will need a motor heat sink for 85+ degree day )
That's a nice video man
Thanks man! 👍🏼
Very Cool Vid & Great Info! Liked & Subscribed!
What failed with the rpm transmission.
Gears kept slipping
@@Martin-xh1hd thats very strange. I am using castle creation 4600kv motor. that has a lot of power and the gearbox kept holding up.
Maybe he had a locked differential. And mybe his slipper cluth was set to tight. The RPM really should work just fine.
The plastic RPM uses is softer than the standard gear box. It's pretty durable, flexible and lightweight if your build is fairly lightweight and powered by a 2s or 3s system.
For speed run or heavier builds using 3s-6s powered systems, Aluminum gearboxes are necessary.
This has been my experience, and is simply my opinion.
Cheers ✌
One thing I like about the gear case it that it's sealed on the bottom where the diff goes. It's not open like the stock Traxxas one where you need to put a piece of tape over it like on the Rustler.
It looks like on the RPM case you had some gears misaligned, could have been where the bearings were in the case. Usually if the gears are misaligned, it will strip them in a certain pattern, not just break teeth in odd spots. Broken teeth usually is from slop between them, then they catch, and break them off.
Did you replace the case each time, or just replace the gears?
Great video on the install, and the case looks nice and beefy, hope it works great for you.
The gear Box transmisión is compatible for arrma granite
Is it really?
I bet that gives you some lower temps too.
I just need better bearing I think the wear out so quick
if u could next time put the link to the site were the part is from so we can look up the site please
sorry about that. here's a link if u still wanted to see. www.fastlanemachine.net/proddetail.php?prod=FLM20000
Nice
....It's been 4 years, How bullet Proof is the Trans.?
Thinking of getting one.
Lemme know?
?
Sorry for such late reply! I never had any issues with it after many hours of abuse.
Its basically Bulletproof
On turnbuckles how long should they be plz help
does flm 2000 have enough motor head diameter clearance for castle kv2200 mamba monster john w.
Sup bro because of you I bought this transmission and I must say I love it but your right it was a bitch it install by the way I got a video of my truck check it out
nice video great upgrade do you think will fit on my rustler vxl
I'm confused, so is this just the transmission case? did u already upgrade to hardened steel gears? or do u have stock gears?
I think I have hardened gears in there already. I don't remember though.
+Rustlervxl09 ya I think it comes with steel gears stock, but hardened steel is just a Lil stronger for backup
The new transmission comes with no gears. The car comes with steel gears though
I think it’s a wast of time n money to upgrade the case n put stock gears n diff back in .
So how did the RPM Hybrid case fail you? It's just a box...the gears teeth don't touch it. Please explain because I have one and would like to know what to look out for.
It may have just been my gearbox, i dont know, but the case lets the gears flex inside when ever im basing or jumping. When they flex they move closer or further to other gears and when there is a little extra space between gears they strip easier. I overall felt the case didnt keep the gears solid in place. But one again it could have just been my case. Just look out for striped gears.
Ok. I'm not a hardcore basher but that's good to know. Thanks.
This case also help cooling the engine. On 3s the Velinion tend to overheat if you push it with hard and many accelerations...
How?
Cool!
Ok, it;s some time since you posted this video. I am curious to know if the FLM permanently cured the gear stripping problem. I have stripped 2 diffs in a month with the RPM cases but I'm wondering if it's the cases or just the bearings. If you check my videos, you will see why I need a strong gear set up. Big power and a bumpy dirt track = high stress on the gears. Thanks for posting this video, I appreciate the effort and it's really interesting. I'm looking forward to an update. Cheers Robert.
As soon as I started using this transmission, I have never stripped a gear since.
+Rustlervxl09 Thanks for that,. You are bloody awesome mate. I am getting onto ebay right now to get one. I love your work. 😜😜🇦🇺🇦🇺
+Galaxieman1963 No problem man! If you have any more questions feel free to ask, I'm happy to help :)
+Rustlervxl09 hey bro
+Bond JamesBond Hello :)
I have to agree that the RPM hybrid case is not worthy. lasted maybe ten minutes with all new gears and hardware making speed runs on pavement. anyone have recommendations for a pre built worry free transmission?
proline makes one pre-built but idk how good it is. The FLM case has held up excellent
+Rustlervxl09 are you using traxxas gears? my planetary and my idler gears keep coming apart.
+Tomy Moore Robinson Racing makes good gears. maybe try them
+Rustlervxl09 thanks. about how much does that flm case cost and where can I get one?
+Tomy Moore I think it goes for around $60. Try flm website or ebay
Whats the price
What happened with the RPM gearbox and what caused it to fail?
luisfj9 my gears kept stripping in it
Well you had the slipper clutch too tight then or something
I don't think it was the transmission case
For the flm case are the hardware screws the same as the stock ones ??? I have the complete case but no hardware. I have not gotten any answer from flm either.....!!!!!!
Robert Storey yes, uses same as stock
how did the rpm one fail you? what happend?
My gears kept stripping in it after little use
RPM transmission: YOU HAVE FAILED ME lol a crime punishable by replacement!
Lol
Where did you buy the transmission?
Google rustler Fast lane machine transmission
Hey man, quick couple of questions. Are those the aluminum traxxas bellcranks? And what steering servo are you using? Stock 2075 or something else?
Strc Bellcrank and 2075 servo
@Rustlervxl09 What did you mean by the RPM hybrid case has failed you twice?
+Zed orda i have had the gears in it all strip out
Rustlervxl09 How are u sure it wasn't just faulty gears? Sorry to pick ur brain just trying to learn this stuff myself.
+Zed orda I remember that it happened a fewtimes and each time it was after very little use. It could have just of been my gear box
Rustlervxl09 From maybe case flex causing gear misalignment?
Will dis work on rustler
Maurice Tanner, yeah
For every mod i do its a level?
Yes, for my 5 cars my total is 428. Everytime you replace a broken part you count 2 levels.
Do you work on the floor?
For this vid i did.
Why can I not find Aluminum case for slash 4x4
I know it's a year ago but this is a traxxas 2wd slash not a 4x4 but you can get a aluminum motor plate a different one also the the bearing for the spur gear part also
Flm20000
So now that you've gone from rpm plastic. To metal. When your jumping. Your slash how does the weight transfer. Seems like with the weight change. And it being. On the rear. Seems it would be back heavy. And during jumping. You'd think it would just. Land on its ass all the time
Rob Bain not too much difference
What the fuck is up with your punctuation skills my man?
CASTRO45ACP wtf is up with your stupid question if it matters to you I have a bad habit of double spacing when I type on my phone fast. 🖕🏿
Rob Bain & Castro45ACP - you kids play nice now. Don’t make me stop this video! ROTFLMAO 😂!!!
Very disappointed in flm, the open bay was needed for the bigger motors yet they still advertise the old one.
Is this one better, perhaps.
Question is how many purchase it just for the open motor bay.
flm has lost me as a customer.
I wont deny their quality but changing a product while continuing to advertise the old style, even for the better while making it useless for many ordering it is bad business No more flm for me.
Traxxas=plastic garbage
I have a traxxas Slash because it was super cheap, I'm not like most people who have a traxxas and defend it though lol they are cheap plastic even the 1200$ t maxx and udr are mostly Plastic if I'm gunna spend 1200 on an RC it wouldn't be a traxxas lol.
Yeah... The Stock plastics are junk... My 2wd Slash has 3 stock parts left...but they have more aftermarket alu parts available than anythimg else on the market
