Here's something I have been playing with, just finished cutting, grinding and fabbing. I'm going to have it powder coated and milled with the stepchild chassis, and see which one I want to procede with.....

Thanks. I'm going to do a little more finishing work on it tomorrow, round some edges a little more evenly. I'm going to have this chassis milled exactly the same way as the other one to accept a B4 Stealth, have them powder coated the same color (except for the chassis braces I made, I think those will be red) and see which one I want to do first.

Already this project is way under Project X in cost. Love it.

Both chassis' in for powder coating and milling. Can't wait to get it together, except I made an order at Quick Tech Hobby for pins and other misc parts, and never heard back from them. So now I am watching that credit card like a hawk.....

Can't wait to see it finished.

I can't wait either. I worked on the front end last night, and will post pics of what has been done. I'm thinking of doing a complete PowerPoint with arrows/part numbers for each section to be really thorough this time, and make it available here.

Where I'm at. Waiting for everything else to be picked up/shipped...

Nothing to report this weekend, my chassis were not powdercoated in time. It's ok, still have a couple things coming in. However, I hooked up with an RC10 CE Stealth that I am going to straight up restore (all the parts are in AWESOME condition) and another A stamp chassis to play with...

All right. I got the two powder coated chassis in. One Blue, one Red. A couple of observations. If you are going to do this mod, do it with a chassis that DOES NOT have holes for a stealth transmission. You'll see why when I post pics later (tomorrow).

I am working with the Blue chassis, it just looks fantastic. Pictures tomorrow, too late for me to post them now (mama is asleep in the room with the media pc).

I got the front end tied in, steering, transmission, rear arms and shocks, as well as rear bulkhead.

I like this one better than project x already....

cant wait to see the pics of this one. sounds awesome

Oh ya, the order I put in through Quick Tech Hobby? Yeah, I got an email today from them saqying it had been cancelled, sorry for the delay in response, my card will not be charged. I guess when I told him I worked for a DoD company, he freaked.....

I got a sample pack of Weaved CF from here: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-WCC-SAMP1.html

I used the thickest piece to set up the first one. I cut it in half first, you can get two mounts out of the pieces they give you.

The fit and finish of where the stealth transmission sits, is great. As you can see from the first set of pictures, on the red chassis there were already stealth mounts drilled for the old style, making for less metal on that rear section. I'll probably build that one too using a 3300kv motor, but the blue chassis is getting the 4900kn motor.

Wow nice work! How did you mock up the transmission properly? Do you have a template that you could show?
