A month or so ago, I came across a Bin that contained the ol' bugger and thought it was time to start trying to have some fun with it. As you can see below, the current state is not condusive to fun.

Shortly after I un-earthed the ol' graphite, google brought me here, and I've been admiring the assorted handywork on diplay and I thought that it was time for me to join in and if nothing else, get my post count up so I can get BST access that I'll likley need to complete this.
The intent is to get this together as a runner as I have enough things on my shelves already.....
So I started scouring the pile of parts, and the threads here and I've ordered some things.....
Front End:
Fibre-Lyte RC10 06 Front shock mount with top brace.
ASC9580 Associated B4 25° caster blocks.
ASC9581 Associated B4 steering knuckles.
ASC1585 Associated B4 front axles.
ASC9608 Associated B4 wheel spacer.
ASC6207 Associated Stock Arm mounts.

RPM 70542 RC10 Team Car rear A-arms.
ASC9730 Associated Rear hub carrier B4/B44 .
ASC9756 Associated B44 rear CVDs.
Steering:
GPM RC10 GT bell crank
Avid Bearings
Front Tires/wheels:
No Tire yet.
No Wheels Yet.
Did get B4.1 Front bearings from Avid
Assorted Hardware
ASC3858 Associated Long and short ball studs
ASC4185 Associated Nylon Locknuts,8-32
ASC6222 Associated Self-Thread Locknut:RC10/T/2/3
ASC6274 Associated RC10/T,TC4 Ball Cups
Now is the part I need a bit of advice on, stick with the 6-gear or throw it over for a stealth? I've seen a bunch of people say that the 6 gear is fine, but I've also seen issues. Am I ahead of the curve because I've got black (metal) idler gears?. I intend on going lipo and brushless when all the dust settles, so please keep that in mind.
Any advice is always appreciated.
Thanks all

~~~~EDIT~~~~
Things learned thus far.
-B4 motor plate NOT = stealth motor plate.
-B44 CVD kit (ASC9756 Associated B44 rear CVDs) does not come with the little retaining collars. Those need to be ordered as ASC#7996.
-ASC#9580 caster blocks ASC 9645 (2-56X 1/8 Button head screws to secure the pin into the block.
-Parts ordering breeds parts ordering.
-By extension vintage RC10 projects breed more vintage RC10 projects.
