Stealth Question
Stealth Question
Hey folks.
My stealth tranny came in the mail. Yippee.
It didn't come with any spur gear/spring/slipper etc... Basically, just the tranny, original felt and motor plate.
There's a few options out there that I've read about on these forums but not sure which to go with.
Can someone make a recommendation for me please, including links or part numbers so I can purchase the parts and start using the tranny. Thanks in advance.

Re: Stealth Question
If you are planning to use the trans in a runner, you could adapt the modern rc10b4 slipper to work
Parts list needed is in here:
http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=10403
The b-3 slipper parts will work as a direct replacement for the original as there was only a minor change in the slipper pad and plates between the 2 versions.
you need one each of:

3/16x3/8" bearing
and 2 4-40x3/16" buton head screws.
Alternatively you could just bolt a spur gear to the top shaft with a slipper eliminator like this one:

(the eliminator is popular for oval racing)

Re: Stealth Question
Thanks aconsola. Where in the "what's old is new" thread did you see the B4 setup? I looked and couldn't really find anything specific. Would I need to change the top shaft for the B4 set up?
I don't want to eliminate the slipper because I'm running brushless and don't want to risk damaging the internals.
Thanks again.

Re: Stealth Question
Yep, did a little more searching. Found what I needed. Going to go with the B4 setup. Can't wait to get the parts in. Thanks for the help.

Re: Stealth Question
Has anyone successfully done the B4/T4 slipper on an RPM converted stealth? Looking briefly through the archives, it doesn't seem like it. I understand the RPM top shaft is shorter, but maybe a shorter spring could be used? Does anyone who has both shafts know the difference in length? Are there any other obstacles to doing this? I'm sure a significant amount of adjustment fidelity would be lost, but depending on the delta length, it might be worth it.

Re: Stealth Question
the only way you could do it would be to press the gear off both the b4 and rpm top shaft, and re-install the gear for the rpm top shaft on to the b4 top shaft.ChicagoRC10T wrote:Has anyone successfully done the B4/T4 slipper on an RPM converted stealth?

Re: Stealth Question
i was told awhile back (i forget who...) when i was putting together the stinky pinky that an rpm topshaft for a hyperdrive could possibly work with a b4 style slipper.

Re: Stealth Question
hydra-drive...... yes. you could get an rpm 2.65 conversion kit with the slipper shaft or the hydra shaft. you could buy them individually, too.noony wrote:So there was a hyper-drive top shaft for the RPM trans?

Re: Stealth Question
RPM did have a Hydra-Drive top shaft for their transmission but they're pretty hard to find now.
