B4 top shaft in Team Car

Quote

Post by B4maz » Fri Apr 09, 2010 2:24 pm

Will the top shaft of the B4 transmission fit in the Team Car? I want to use the B4 top shaft and B4 slipper setup in my team car. Does anyone know if this will work?

Yes, and I adapted a cover as well.

Nice job vice! Looks good.

So you dont have to do any modifications to get the B4 shaft to fit?

Hello all. I've been doing some casual club racing with my old T3 just to get some extra wheel time. Anyway, I want to put the T4/B4 slipper/top shaft on it.

I've heard you have to shim up the topshaft to make this work.

For those that have done...

Last post

The manuals are on AE's website. Same about of shimming as stock.

I put a MIP top shaft and dual slipper on my T2 without issue.

Can anyone ID this top shaft in the B3 I'm building? It's aluminum, and there's a stud that threads in for the slipper hardware. I can't seem to find anything online. Thanks in advance.

Last post

Yeah, I've got the manual.

I don't know if I need to change it. It was assembled when I got it, so I'm just going to slap it back together. I was curious if anybody knew what that top shaft was, and if I possibly needed different spacers to shim...

Have been out of the hobby for about 18 years just now getting back into it.

Looking to swap the top tranny shaft in a B4.2 with a B3 top shaft. Can this be done?
If this can be done I will buy a B4.2
Thanks for any help.

Last post

I did it the other way round so I could run a B3 with a B4 slipper for a brushless setup. It was a straight swap so I can't see why you couldn't do it the other way.....

i have the b4 top shaft for my stadium truck now my son wants to get the other truck i have going instead of switching tranies does the b4 topshaft fit the stock 10t tranny or just the stealth.
i wonder how hard it would be to mount the b4 tranny it...

Last post

i do have a stealth but i also have 2- 6 gears as well.
i switched the topshaft and the slipper and spur worked great.
with brushless my son cruised it around the track the other day.

thanks again guys happy easter

After some help to save my sanity. I found this Steel topshaft at home and cant work out what its for, The best guess i have is that its an aftermarket B4 top shaft ??? As its the same length also. However, it has a thicker shoulder up to the gear...

Last post

Ignore me, sussed it now....... :)

Wait what was it?

Probably something to do with the machined spacer instead of a bearing surface

Does it use a different bearing for the shaft?

I recently stripped apart an old stealth out of my junk box and it had a really nice ti top shaft in it! I was curious who made them back in the day, and if they are still available? It came out of a trans that was in an old dirt oval car so maybe...

Last post

the plastic idler with metal top gear and diff gear would be the most efficient, strongest and maintanence free. if you decide for all metal you need some good lubrication that stays on the gears.

I never used any Loctite on that screw, but I did use my German-calibrated torque device and set it to Gutundtite :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for all the measurements guys!

64p b4 top shaft

Is there a way to adopt a b4 style top shaft to a 64 pitch for use with a thorp 64pitch gear set? Were the top shafts and idlers for the thorp 64pitch gt and rc10 stealth the same across kits?

-Joseph

Last post

It may be possible to press the gears off and swap them. I'm honestly not 100% sure though.

Are there any threads here on that? Would I just try and torch and hammer off the gear of a associated steel b4 top shaft? Are there any 'blank' b4 shafts?
