Can the old stuff handle the new power?

[Motor'n]

I an building a few runners (RC10 and T ) I am wondering if the older stealth trans can handle the power of 8.5 brushless and 7.4 lipo? if not what do you recommend upgrading?

Yes, a few guys on here run brushless w/ stealths w/ no problems. Don't think it would work well on 6 gears.

Yea I read a few threads and they all seem to recommend the B4 slipper which makes good sense but i am worried about the diff. If I break a part the track will probably not have it on the shelf... there goes my race day.

make an order from tower and get atleast 2-3 of each trans part.. thats what i do

for sure run the slipper. Running dirt oval with high grip and foams we can slip the diffs with 10.5 motors no problem. Personally I run without a slipper and just pay attention to how I'm driving to avoid tearing up parts.

Probably wont want to go any faster than 8.5, I kept blowing idler gears in my RC10T every 2nd race meet running 3 and 5.5 turn motors

I raced an RC10 with a 5.5 at the Belgium GP. If you watch the slipper the Idler should be OK, didn't even bother to put on a B4 slipper. The only problem I had is that I had to rebuild the diff 2 times a day

Yeah I think it's just the extra weight of the truck and the bigger tyres that kill it. Probably ok in a buggy.
Running a stealth with 5.5 in the B34 with the power for all 4 wheels going from the top shaft to the rear idler and it hasn't blown a single idler yet..

B4 slipper is almost as annoying as a 6-gear when it comes time to change a spur gear B3 one seems to work ok for me.

I am glad to hear all the feed back. I will try to get it reliable as possible. It sounds like someone really needs to come up with a case to run the B4 gears and be able to bolt it to to tub and motor plate.
