Back end is back in with the B4.1 geared box fitted

Looking forward to trying this on carpet and not wrecking stealth ball diffs

Made a start on it and the front ends pretty much done now

Added one of my nose weights I make to the car, looks bling and will be a great addition for the Astro/carpet racing I do

The chassis is back from powder coaters, time to build it up!

The belt drive car wasn't very good hence the SF got released fairly quickly after the beltdrive one had a load of option parts/mods to try and get it to work

The SF or the SF2 are great cars, or the XB4/B74.1 is a great option

Loving this! look forward to seeing more build pics

So got the B4 gear diff box in! Had to make a few tweaks to get it in, first up you have to dremel off the lower part of the gearbox as per the pics as this sits lower than the nix conversion part, an easy 5 min job Second job is the gearbox bolt needs grinding down to fit in the nix bulkhead, if yo...

NIX63231 + B4.x gearbox + B6 gear diff. If needed, you can easily shim the gearbox up to get diff gear just above chassis. Or make a small groove to chassis.

Shapeways delivery came today! Just got to decide to put a ball diff gearbox in it or a gear diff

I’m thinking gear diff as it’s going to be winter soon and I’ll be able to get some running indoors on eos carpet

Put some v2 small bore shocks on the car and added my new nose weight I’ve produced

Great thread and car, enjoyed seeing the pics on iconic rc

I had the same issue on my first rc10 build, the outer ball joints on the hub/chub hit each other on full suspension compression causing them to pop off, take the front shock off and check out if there is a fowling issue

Ok fair enough Doug, I’ve got Will looking at a stealth with B6 parts and layshaft etc but won’t be an overnight project as he is busy with his day job

If anyone is willing to share the files I can get willspeed to produce these in cnc ali

Its a risk and on an original AE chassis, I wouldn't personally

Great work and love the body’s paint job
