Yup. So I'll share where I think i went wrong but it's the same thing. I actually had both the wire and the terminal tinned but I think with too much solder. When I joined them it got a little messy and I fumbled around trying to "wipe" some of the excess solder off with the hot iron. The ...

Yup. Screwed up the ESC. I ended up with a soldering iron that had a wide tip. Yada yada yada terminals got too hot melted some plastic and i think the terminals touched inside the motor. I have another car to build so I bought the same motor ESC combo tested them together and the esc was the odd ma...

I was desperately waiting for this car. My original is in tatters. I second the motion for AE to re release that stealth kit. When the Fan Graphite worlds came out I dove back into the hobby head first. I'm about to build the gold team car re release and then I have the 4wd waiting behind that. My c...

It's here!

Thanks RogueIV. However, things only got worse when I tried to run it. An electrical issue nothing to do with the kit or parts. The motor won't turn. I can get it to work if I give the rotor a spin for like a push start but once there's no throttle input the motor won't start from still. Tried a few...

Oh wow. So as I posted just above I guess I had the same issue. There was a point where the gears would bind up. I thought it was all pinion and spur mesh issues. However, I actually took a file and sand paper to the teeth of both the diff gear and idler gear. The idler gear definitely had some roug...

I've mentioned on here that I was having some diff and gear mesh issues. Nothing major. I've run about 5 packs through it so I decided to rebuild the diff. Well not really. Just took it apart and swapped out the T nut in the diff. First time around even though I was being careful but not enough I gu...

Does AE sell a stealth kit? I've been watching for a while and have only seen AE stealth trans parts sold individually. Same here. Probably just going to get a fan tranny. Was considering a gear diff but have no experience with one and not really sure what advantages vs disadvantages it has compare...

Does AE sell a stealth kit?

Interesting video. I noticed that he not only kept the blue springs on the front he also put them on the rear. I recently watched a vid where the builder swapped the blue front springs for shifter ones on a carpet track.

Oh that would be nice. I did ask someone from AE about them selling the trans as a kit. The answer was yeah wait about a week. That was in December. Lol sounds right on time.

Although out of stock it does appear to be a whole kit.

Oh, I thought the belt was the same. No worries. As long as i can just order it along with the pulleys. Thanks MachV I'll surely be inquiring about all the necessary kit. Eventually... when I find the time to build it. Has anyone seen or used the Fan Rc stealth with gear diff? As I've mentioned prob...

Do the larger pulleys fit right onto the car without other mods? Looking forward to picking up all my Factory Works gear. My 4wd will be decked out in it. The way i see it Factory Works is at least a little, if not a lot of what I wish AE still was. Small but specialized company run by someone or a ...

Oh my God! Hahaha! I just got it! Ten4..... I get things. Sometimes I'm a little late.
