descent score

nope, no black motor plate.

the guy took the plate off of the c.e., and put it on the tq. that's why there's a gold one on it.

well, after a quick clean up, this bad boy's all done. i might change the wheels and tires around if something else comes along one day. the motor plate will get changed to an associated, too. i just need to find a decent used one.

TQ-ariffic! Slap on a stealth black motorplate, you can't tell with the spur gear on...

yup, that's what i figured. i just gotta wait for a nice used one to come along.

this chassis has the holes in the back for a motor guard. my early tq doesn't. do any of yours have them?

[Asso_man!]

nice laundry mate, from here it looks to be in pretty good shape, gotta love those TQ's

Mine has the holes, but it's a "late" TQ. I think the short arm TQ's don't have them. IIRC the early chassis have just a few of the bottom holes countersunk. I still do not think the motor guard was supplied in a kit until the Stealth cars were intruduced.

My short arm has the motor guard holes and all of the other holes are countersunk. I thought mine was one of the earlyer ones, I ordered it before it was released but it could have been switched at some point when it was in layaway !

Two different "short arms" chassis confirmed :

[Asso_man!]

Mine (short arms) has no holes...

[templeofspeed]

The ones of yours I have seem to have the holes, but those are from an old build?

[Asso_man!]

No, it's that one, the only TQ I own! And you are really annoying me, you know my collection better than me It's just that it's one of the many cars that stayed in boxes since the moving

[scr8p]

ya, my early short arm tq has only one countersunk hole for the antenna mount, and no motor guard holes. this one has all of the holes countersunk down both sides, w/ the motor guard holes.

The second TQ 10 I have has long arms with the 4 hole front shock tower is this correct for the later version?

yup, as far as i know, it should be the last version. like the one i just cleaned up. i think they were out of production before the 6 hole tower.

in regards to the c.e. in this post...................

does any one else on the board have a "B" stamped gold tub c.e., drilled for a stealth, with a stealth motor plate, but came with a 6 gear trans from the factory?

my other c.e. that came with a stealth is a "B" stamped tub, but the holes for the 6 gear trans aren't countersunk.
