Hi, To convert an original super astute TTC gearbox you'll need the re-re gearbox plate plus the parts highlighted in yellow in the attached picture. If you're starting with a normal astute/king cab gearbox then you'll need to swap the internal gears / diff too but i think the casings are the same.

I finally got round to running this today. It certainly shifts with the ezrun motor powered by a 3300 nicad and no gearbox issues after 3 batteries. Hopefully the re-re super astute gearbox is the solution to the King Cab gearbox issues.

I’ve got an original TTC gearbox in my King Cab. I burnt out the original slipper so have converted it to the new re-re Super Astute slipper. I looked at the Avante diff option but didn’t go down that route due to the teeth number being different. Interesting to know that it does work though 👍

Got it, had to turn off live on my iphone

Not sure if anyone has done this yet, I got hold of the parts to covert my original TTC to the re-re Super Astute style slipper. I got the gearbox plate, shaft and inner pressure plate from the Astute and then the DF-03 slipper kit plus a few nuts/screws from my spares box and did the conversion. I’m yet to run it but this could be a solution to the King Cab gearbox issues whilst keeping it Tamiya? Csn anyone advise on what size pinion to use with the 82T spur? Thanks Edit: Can’t seem to upload pictures?

Hi, I’ve managed to overheat my original TTC slipper and melt item H4. It’s shown as unused in the re-re so I was hoping someone might be able help me out and send me their leftover part if possible? ( I’m Olobviously happy to transfer some money). Please message me if you can help. Thanks  steve

No King Cab announcement then ☹️

Hi, where can spare parts be ordered from?

From the 2 manuals it looks like it should be pretty straight forward to convert an old TTC gearbox to the new type. The gearbox plate needs changing as the new one appears to have a recess maschined into it and then the slipper shaft, spur gear, plates, spring and nut. The manual shows the parts all being in bag B so hopefully this can be bought separately.

There seems to be a lot more for sale on eBay recently too, could be a sign that people think there’s a re-re coming and are offloading the originals while they are still rare?

Thanks, do the new slipper parts come all in one bag that could be bought on its own?

With updated gearboxes that can handle brushless motors 🤞

Any details on the changes to the gearbox and if the new parts could be fitted to an old TTC box for use in a King Cab?

I’m based in the UK near Woking & would happily give your gearbox a test.

Does anyone have a PDF/Scan copy of the Super Astute or TTC manual?

A good read, thanks

Thanks for the info, hopefully old TTC’s can be fitted with the new slipper parts. May just be the solution I need for my King Cab.....

Thanks GTodd, did you use the RCC kit to do the conversion? Getting hold of a Stealth transmission in the UK looks tricky.....

Blast from the past! Several years have passed since I used this but I've recently moved house and got it out of its box for a run round the garden. I got a few battery packs out of it before the TTC gearbox started slipping and the old memories of the problems with this model came flooding back :-D Given many years have passed have there been any improvements to the gearbox and other areas of the KingCab / Monster Racer? I've seen info on Dynastorm / Stealth / SC10 / Leathal Weapon conversions and even a 3D printed case to take Schumacher Cougar internals ! Whats the best option to get my King Cab running reliably to have fun with? I'm sure there are better/newer options out there but i've got quite a lot of time & effort invested in this to give up, plus it was always the one i wanted growing up so i'd like to see it running well. Thanks Steve

A few pictures, open to offers from forum members before it all goes on ebay. A Set of grey Dynastorm H parts here, from the nitro car? Thanks Steve

Hi, I used to be a club member and quite active on this forum but I've been away from r/c cars for a while and am looking to have a bit of a clear out of my old collection, i'm looking for some advice on the current values of some of my items and would prefer to sell to a club member rather than on ebay. I have a King Cab shelf queen thats in good condition, a few minor scrapes to the chassis where it has been run a few times before I bought it. The body is in good condition but again has a few marks. I have the original box, instructions etc and the cab is fitted with Hop Up UJ's (originals included). Its currently fitted with a Technigold motor which I have the box for so could split and put a 540 back in the cab. I also have a JG mfg replica King Cab body shell, original NIP Tamiya decals and ps1, ps2 & ps4 spray paint. I've also got a super clod thats been modded with motors, electronic speed controller, aluminium rod steering arms, chassis lift, CVA dampers. Plus a TB-02R chassis with just about every Hop Up available fitted to it. I'll try to get some pictures up soon but would appreciate a bit of guidance on prices and the best way to sell it all. Thanks Steve
