Hey, I just got done putting mine back together. I resently got a bruchless kit, and not too long after I had popping comming from both of my diffs. I have heard that this is not uncommon. My front pinion gear was missing part of the teeth where they wore down. So after replaceing gears I installed some shims from BRP , took out all of the slopyness. I've heard that this is the fix!
I hope you were talking about the rc18mt cause you said rc10 but this is in the 18th scale forum. anyways good luck!!

To me it looks like shims...small ones and some larger ones. I'm not quiet sure how to shim it....being there are 2 different sizes. Maybe i will have a better idea when i take it apart and see.
The smalller shims go on the center drive shaft between the bearing and pinion gear, and the larger shims go on the inside of the bearing on the output shaft (the diffs themselves) When you take it apart look very close at the gears, mine were not missing any teeth but they were worn down a little bit. Its kinda hard to see so look close. Just a heads up.
No prob, just making sure. I used 1 small and 1 large shim to fix my problems. 1 kit is all you need and then some.
