I updated my steering to bellcranks as I mentioned I was doing so here's a pic of that -- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/Godspeed1.8T/DSC_6386_zps6cd6eabb.jpg And I finally got around to finishing the trimming and then masking and painting the body. Took me forever to cut all of the individua...

Since we're sharing problem transmission and service support stories (and I've littered a few threads with the same story), I'll mention that Bob Stormer appears to be taking care of my displeasure with the parts I received from them (parts pulled from a Worlds kit when I ordered #6560). He's a bit ...

In regards to gear cover gaskets; http://www.rccaraction.com/blog/2014/06/27/pit-tip-grit-grinding-your-gears-make-a-gasket/ This looks like a good start. Nice. And I actually don't think it would be too hard to find something like that with an adhesive backing at Home Depot, Lowes, etc....maybe a ...

I kind of don't like how the RPM covers don't have a lip that wraps over the motor plate. They butt up against it so it's impossible to get them 100% sealed since there's bound to be a variance in how flat the motor plate is and how flat the cover is. It would be amazing if there was a thin bead of ...

Just watched it again. Love it.

Can a B4 top shaft be purchased on its own? What's the part number?

I've seen them on eBay for over 100 bucks now which is crazy, so alternatively (it'll cost more but you'll get more) you could buy a Worlds car and then a US Stealth case #6565, an idler gear/shaft #6570 and hope for the best on your top shaft.

If it's bunk, contact AE and request a replacement.

The manual calls for Loctite on them so that should resolve any backing out, bad as far as snapping them, I don't know.

Hey Nick it's obviously not your "fault" I chose to purchase from Stormer. The really unfortunate thing is the one I was looking at on Amazon for only a few bucks more is now gone. Live and learn. I couldn't get a hold of Bob Stormer by phone yesterday, he was like Polkaroo, but he did rep...

And a top shaft? What's the P/N I'd want?

So far he's been like Polkaroo. "You just missed him. Try back in another 30min to 1hr." haha

Well, I'm a little bit annoyed about it because I thought what I was ordering was a #6560 kit, not a bag-o-parts. And you're right, it doesn't have the brace, so what am I going to do there? Waiting for Bob to get back into the office. Hopefully it can be sorted out....with a proper #6560 kit, but m...

So I got a 'bad' style case and a bad top shaft....and bad idler?

I spoke to a guy about 30 minutes ago and he said to call back in an hour to talk with Bob Stormer. Just want to get my info straight before I call.

Thanks guys.

Glad you're on this, scr8p and gomachv. Appreciate your attention. Here's what I got. I'm hesitant to completely open the bags in case I need to send this stuff back. The bag with most of the stuff (the bearings and gears, etc.) look like it might be unmolested Associated packaging. Stormer may have...

I just received a #6560 kit from Stormer and it has a Chinese case in it.

I don't think I'm too happy about that. What's your opinions?

Where's that picture comparing the USA vs. Re-Re (China) Stealth cases? I just searched through dozens of pages in various posts and had no luck with the search either. I'm hoping that I didn't get a piecemeal kit and ended up with a Chinese case. Edit -- I think this is what has happened. I can't f...
