RC Metal Transmission Center Gearbox Case with Gear for FMS FCX18 LC80 1/18 RC Crawler Car Upgrades Parts Complete Gearbox Transmission Case for FMS FCX18 Accessories (Red)

Worked on the FCX 18 and I'll be getting it for my FCX24. Good trans and no gear grinding or binding.

Works great! Easy install and works better then original, has great crawl mode and fast gears.

Great replacement transmission. Just be sure to lube it up and you'll be ready to go and won't have to ever look back!

Works well with stock and high torque motors. Much louder than stock FCX18 gearbox due to metal gears and housing. Also much louder than metal gear in FMS FCX24 Pro gearbox. Has been

Six days after unboxing my FMS FCX18 LC80 it developed a clicking noise in low gear when under load. High gear and everything else worked well. I called FMS support and they had me check all sorts of things. Then they insisted I take a video of it and upload it and until I do that they can't help me. Six days old! I wish I had purchased it here at Amazon. I got mad and bought this metal transmission.Anyway, this all-metal transmission was my solution. It was fun to install but a bit of a project. (much easier than rebuilding the old one with the metal gear kit that is also available). The transmission was lightly greased but I added a little more. Those metal gears looked so much better than the nylon OEM gears. And yes I opened up the original transmission and the low-speed gear was in bad shape. These metal gears should last a long time and now it climbs without clicking. It's quieter overall and much more robust. If you plan to do any rock climbing, adding brass weights and all that stuff then this transmission should pay for itself easily.

love it. its been a bulet proof to all my builds. quick solid and responisive. I'm very particular on my parts but this is a must on all four bolt 1/24 1/18 parts... love it

Swapped the motor onto the new transmission and the gear from the motor binds with the transmission gear. Doesn’t work unless I loosen the bolts holding the motor to the transmission. I can’t leave the motor attached to the transmission loose. Looks like it’s getting returned.

Like many LC80 owners, the factory transmission was slipping a bit in low gear. I’d hear a lot of clicking especially when going up hill and anytime there was a bit of torque needed. This new metal transmission solved that NO problem. It drives way better. Be sure to save the little metal clip for the servo that shifts between low and high. You will need to add some synthetic grease to the brass gears otherwise that’s about it. Nice that it comes with extra screws although I just reused most of the factory ones. It’s definitely a bit louder to drive. Almost sounds like a miniature table saw. Haha. But it’s a great upgrade and I’m super glad I took the time to do it. Gives yourself a couple hours and take your time. Fun project.
