so is it the idler or the topshaft in the re-re trans that makes it rough and bind? i ended up using the diff from the re-re kit with everything else from a usa stealth kit. fyi out of the 2 usa stealth kits i bought, one of them had a bad topshaft. im curious since i just got another correct b4 top...

i doubt it, they are grey… the compaq computer comparison is spot on.

i will say with the utmost confidence since ive cracked open a worlds re-re and started building it over the weekend, that the re-re worlds kit isnt as good as the orginal. forget ebay prices and whatever somebody wants for an original worlds car, im talking about the quality of the kit itself. im v...

also i should mention that there was something wrong with either the idler or topshaft gears on my re-re worlds stealth. it was hard to spin by hand, gritty and felt like either the topshaft or idler gear was out of round. so like... overall my experience the with stealth from the worlds kit was a b...

Not that it matters but I'd be interested to see how many top shafts are faulty (assuming some are good) and what the overall $$ figure for Associated to fix the problem is. i recently bought a worlds kit and 2 of the u.s. stealth kits, from separate places, and 2 out of the 3 had the bad topshaft....

i had a us kit with the crap topshaft.

i ordered 2 6065 stealth kits out of ebay boredom last week. last night i opened up a worlds re-re kit and got to work on the trans. after reading a little here i didn't really have any hopes it would spin nice or clear the motor plate, but i figured id at least find out for myself. like many here I...

Where's that picture comparing the USA vs. Re-Re (China) Stealth cases? I just searched through dozens of pages in various posts and had no luck with the search either. I'm hoping that I didn't get a piecemeal kit and ended up with a Chinese case. Edit -- I think this is what has happened. I can't ...

i just got 2 6560 stealth kit bags and they dont have a motor plate or gear cover in them.

maybe you got an early run kit or something?

so… the worlds kits have chinese cases and the stealth kits have the usa cases? mine are definitley grey, not white by any means. i'd say its a 10/15% grey… fugly. i just got my first worlds kit from stormer (ebayed it the same time i ebayed the stealth cases), the second one i just ordered today di...

Gray?! Hadn't seen that yet! Is that on the "USA" cases? i dont know what a usa case is. im not at as informed on rc10 stuff as i used to be. :wink: picked up a couple stealth kits off ebay and they are part # 6560. not at all white or close to white plastic. its grey. its nbd, i was bore...

i just picked up 2 re-re stealth trannys, wth is with the grey plastic? meh!

meh… i was thinking these were gonna be around for awhile.

just ordered 2 to cover my butt in case they stopped making them.

I apologize if I came off rude, and maybe I’m not as informed about the cars as I think. But I did provide a solid opinion on the subject at hand. I enjoy the hobby and love seeing what people do with their cars. dont apologize and dont say ' if i came off rude' , you know damn well you came off ru...
