Hi Mikea, AWESOME looking RC10. I see youre running a brushless motor and a Lipo, wht tranny are you using? I have a Stealth and I was wondering if it'll hold up to the power?
Thank you

[mikea96]

Yep im running a 13.5 brushless with stock stealth tranny and slipper assembly and some guys even run 9.5'S in theres.

[PBR Allstar]

I ran a ramped 10.5 this past weekend in mine with a B4 topshaft/slipper. Never missed a beat!

[kevsgonefishing]

What about the diff? Will the ball diff hold up or will the gear diff fit in there from the B4.1?

[Charlie don't surf]

It will be just fine if it's built right- no, the B4.1 is a 2.60 ratio and much larger

[PBR Allstar]

And a properly set slipper will add to diff life as well

Those transmissions are pretty solid... you would have to go really crazy with a motor I think... I'm thinking the bigger the motor, the bigger supply of arm mounts are needed which will become a bigger problem,

[kevsgonefishing]

Dies anyone know if the B4.1 tranny will fit in the RC10

[scr8p]

not directly. anything could be made to fit.

[kevsgonefishing]

Ok thanks, a buddy of mine I'd going to buy one for his T3 when he does I'll take measurements and see what needs to be done

[kevsgonefishing]

I wondering the traxxas velinion would be s good match for the stealth tranny???

[PBR Allstar]

Ok thanks, a buddy of mine I'd going to buy one for his T3 when he does I'll take measurements and see what needs to be done

Why doesn't he just use the 2.4 tranny that's in the T3 allready? seems like a lot of work to make a 2.6 tranny fit when there really isn't much of a benefit to doing it?


Furthermore, lets not jack Mikes thread with this.

Back to Mikes gold racer!

So i went into two of my local hobby stores yesterday to pick up a few more spares for my buggy and i was looking for a long screw for my B4 wingmounts and i took my buggy and there was a ton of people checking it out and asking questions about it and were wanting to see it run. I will be taking it to the track on the 13th and can't wait to see the look on peoples faces when its running around the track. I picked up some Jconcepts chassis protector, a set of front arms and a pair of 25 degree castor blocks.

That came out real nice! You are going to really enjoy driving that on the track.
