Best overall: Benedict RC Transmission

Buy on Amazon

We are personally inclined towards benedict rc transmission, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. This is a perfect fit for the Redcat Everest 10 RC Crawler truck. It’s designed for a axial SCX10 2 chassis. If you use a standard aluminum 48 pitch gear, your gear will last about 4 battery packs. It comes with front aluminum protection cover. The spur gear can be swapped out easily. It's a pretty quiet running gearbox, so it can't be too bad.

It's designed for a axial SCX10 2 chassis. The fit and finish is very good, and It is extremely smooth and quiet. It comes with a front aluminum protection cover.

Best Runner up: Injora RC Transmission

Buy on Amazon

We are personally inclined towards injora rc transmission, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. The Sturdy Nylon Casing makes driving smooth and excellent. It includes all screws and a decent pinion to get you running quickly. The dig unit fits a 3 gear housing made for dig specifically. It is compatible with the original scx10 ii transmission. The transmission is definitely louder due to the plastic resonating. It has plastic gears inside and it is exactly what is described and very quality.

• Made of premium material, durable in use
• Reccomend siliconing the spur & pinion cover to keep the clutch dry
• Delivers what they promise

Best durability: Quet RC Transmission

Buy on Amazon

The quet rc transmission should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It is a rear dig trans basically just a standard axial 3 gear trans with a dig feature bolted on the back. The lever in the forward position gives you 4x4, pulled straight back, dig is engaged (rear axle locked) and setting your center position will give you free wheeling rear axle. It works flawlessly if you set the endpoints so there is no strain on the servo.

This feature is used alot in competitive Rock crawling rigs. The transmission uses 48p metal spur gear. It can be used with a larger 550can or 2050kv 6s motor. It requires a standard 1/10 servo as well.

Best value For money: Benedict Harry RC Transmission

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another transmission that manages to win our hearts. It's the benedict harry rc transmission and it's widely considered as transmission that has favorable cost-to-benefit ratio. The Spur gear is a different pitch than most Axial spur gears on SCX. All you need to do is add a servo to 'change gear' The build quality of this is just first classis both inside and out. It will fit between the rails of the chassis and match up to the bolt holes of the original transmission. It is for best results you will need to remove the shifters from the wraith interior.

The extra weight of the Billet Alumnium body adds that all important weight down low. This has lead to the entire drive line to be locked up. Adding this will give your truck a two speed transmision at the flick of a transmitter switch.

• Smooth and rather quiet out of the box
• Good investment for long term
