Benefits of a Stealth Trans?

Post by MetalMilitia »

Hey guys. Just wanted your opinions to see what the benefits are of a Stealth trans over the old 6 gear. Thanks!

Efficiency and power handling. It's better in every way- it's lighter, less rotating mass, a slipper, etc

Yes you can.
The differential also works better, which improves the car's handling.

Appreciate the insight guys. I'm a bit of an RC10 newbie. I've been in the hobby a while and finally picked one up so I'm kinda getting the crash course.

The exposed diff on the 6 gear simply needs rebuilding FAR more than the internal on the stealth. The stealth diff also works better. The other stuff is just icing on the cake.

I don't have much to say with my measly post count

the stealth is better than the 6 gear in every way.

That's not true.
Diff rebuilds are much easier on the 6 gear. :P

Gomachv, I joined a month before you and have one-tenth of your posts. :?
