I’ve been working on this for a while and think I’ve hit upon a design that will work. I want to replace the original Stealth transmission’s ball differential with a B4 (5,6) style gear diff to remedy the outdrive availability problem and to reduce or eliminate the need for frequent transmission mai...

I’m glad to see someone else doing this- I don’t have the time and it’s something that would sell for sure. I don’t recall the idler teeth but it’s all b6. I did a couple different setups, and also modded them in case we wanted to run 4wd. I just never got around to finishing any of it. I don’t thin...

Keep going with this. There will be a good demand for something like this for sure. Especially if you can offer the case so that someone could spend less money than what it costs for two aftermarket stealth outdrives to get a modern gear diff.

If anyone is willing to share the files I can get willspeed to produce these in cnc ali

Now this is one really sweet project!
All the benefits of the B6 style trans without having to cobble the goldpans chassis.
Very clever indeed.

Ok fair enough Doug, I’ve got Will looking at a stealth with B6 parts and layshaft etc but won’t be an overnight project as he is busy with his day job

The right case has been updated. I've added a counter-bored screw hole inside next to the diff gear. This will align with the existing bottom hole in the motor plate eliminating the need to modify that part. The original screw hole remains but has been resized to allow the case halves to be screwed ...

With most of the machine work completed on the prototype cases, I thought I’d pause here for an update and step you the machining process. As many of you who have ever made anything on a lathe or milling machine already know, most of the time is spent on equipment setup so, rather than making only o...

Easier to solve by creating new rear hub carriers that both fix the driveshaft angle and also correct the bone engagement. The ones I made adapt b6 cva’s over which also fixes the wheel offset problem by using modern wheels. That’s my .02 anyway

real decent tune!

I think they only made like 3,000 Classic kits, and it didn't take long for people to snatch them all up. So I don't see how it could be considerd a flop.

The Worlds... that was just plauged with issues.

Yeah, hard to call something a flop when you only make a limited number of something and it sells out, but you fail to make more when the demand is clearly still there.

It's entirely possible that if the demand is high enough it could be reproduced. Though they'd probably want to sell more than the initial run of Classics to make it worthwhile.

The worlds suffered top shaft issues among other things. The aluminum 8/32 screws that came in both the kits are crap and will snap with the slightest of torque. The worlds kits lingered in stores and were eventually heavily discounted. Wow, that's brutal. I guess the takeover has done more harm th...

Deans got a bad rap because most of the “deans” connectors you see today are Chinese knockoffs and they melt. The ones on your awanfi will be Chinese knockoffs. I haven’t seen a real deans have a meltdown, but the knockoffs are junk.
