Replacing 6 gear with Stealth tranny

[Rizzo]

G'day Guys

Tried doing a search, but couldn't find anything.

is there a how to on this Site on installing a stealth tranny to replace the standard 6 gear tranny?

All I know is that I need to drill my chassis to suit the stealth, other than that, is it just a direct swap? Is there any extra parts i need?

Any help would be most appreciatted

drill holes, bolt in stealth. make sure you have a stealth trans brace, too.

Scr8p is right on.... and I am doing the same thing, and in my travels I did find this that will make things easier to drill the holes for the stealth.

I measured/documented an entire chassis a couple of years ago on an optical comparator. Here's the rear section: http://www.tunneltwo.com/rc/rc10_chassis_rear_hole_pattern.pdf

Just print 1:1 and drill to your heart's content.

Hi Gaz

I don't think it was my radio gear, I think it was more like the 20 year old steering servo in the car........... same for my Wild One & Sand Rover, they still have the 20+ year old steering servo's

I would prefer my RC10 to also "sound" like everyone elses, mine is noisier with the 6 gear as apposed to all the stealth Rc10's

I did the same swap with my Cadi 6 gear buggy. But, I had a newer "B" chassis to use as a demplete. I just laid them bottom to bottom and traced the holes for the stealth onto the "A" chassis then center punched, drilled and counter sunk. Worked like a charm. But i guess this only works if you have the two different chassis.

get a piece of cardboard and make a template, testfit the cardboard, then use it to drill the holes. This way you dont mess up the car, and if you make a mistake, well its only cardboard
