My Plac from that race.

The car jumps better with the 4th gear and has a little more rear traction.

I added a hydra drive.

I modified a 90 tooth gear and the backing plate so I could use a 69 tooth spur and the great thing about having the extra gear is that it turns the same direction as the motor and tires.

I havent had a chance to drive it with the extra gear will let you know.

Thanks! Not as complicated as I thought. I was wondering if you had moved the suspension mounts back too in order to extend the wheelbase. Where did you source your transmission? I am still learning about all of the different types of Stealths and their compatibility. Cheers I've had the tranny sin...

I only had to drill 4 holes for the transmission I used another chassis the line up the holes.
The holes for the bulkhead are slightly off but because the bulkhead has some give it still works.

Some early version pics.
I will take pics of the bottom tomorrow.

It handles great has lots of steering and rear traction.

Here's some more pics I found the shock tower broken so I modified a b3 tower and installed it.

Here's a couple pics of my rc10 Graphite mid with lowered motor and 4th gear added and 69 tooth spur.
