I face palmed too when I saw this. Someone else had assembled the transmission for photos and the press release was never passed by me to review. It's always frustrating when careless mistakes are made.
The release was also missing the announcement of the new molded gear cover, that can accommodate the B4 topshaft.

Tim, THANK YOU AND ALL THE AE FOLKS!!!! I was excited to hear about the world's car but now the stealth parts with the upgraded topshaft. Perfect timing as I'm getting low (by my standards) on stealth stuff and continue to find cars. Two days ago I told my buddy I'm about to run out of complete trans for projects and thought I'd have to settle with some mock up stealths. Now I hope that price drops a little.
Since the weather continues to be garbage, I decided to go ahead and build this one. While none of it was hard, several things were more aggravating than I thought.

I think its probably a little brighter than that. But you can experiment with different backing colors on some scrap lexan.
This car was backed in white, before covering it with black. A silver or grey would darken it up a little, but I think...
Just ordered this kit from AMain, also picked up another 1060 HW ESC for it. The manual says 30 to 22 turns brushed motor for this model. The LeMans 490, 30 T motor, is what's shown being used:
I bought this motor for $20, and can't find any...

Got the front bearing adapters recommended by juicedcoupe , thanks again! They work perfectly to adapt the smaller Kyosho axle and bearing to the larger Tamiya wheel hub. Will paint the adapters flat black, like the VW brake drums were.
the reedy race is around the corner and i am looking forward to watching it on Liverc.com. I hope the show the vintage class. I don't know if this is any indication of what to expect but:

After a very very pleasent welcome from very very nice forum members I want to show you my finished RC10 runner for 2014. It`s a hybrid between a team and worlds car with some - not too much - modern stuff.

Hi helios1, 85Edinger, stickboy007,
thank you very much for all compliments!
@helios1: I`ve cut the nose plate and chassis sides on my own. Both sides are cut down to 18mm. I`ve included some pictures.
Which 3 cars? Also are the Beetle bodys pre cut or finished?
They are pre-cut. The window masks are kind of a pain, as they are made from paper tape. They are easier to tear than the vinyl masks that most bodies have.
Amazing how things tend to snowball. I started to build a Kinwald Worlds replica from a re-release kit, gathered a few vintage parts, cut the chassis, then it was pointed out that the original didn't have a machined tub. Now I had to source one of...

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. I think I cut about a 1/4 off the sides. Weight loss, negligible. It looks cool, and the body doesn't rub on the edges as much.
I ended up drilling and tapping some 4-40 nuts. I'll post up some pics when I get...
