Stealth tranny with aluminium cases

[Asso_man!]

I saw this on Ebay today, unfortunately the seller only ships to the US

Do you think it's a custom job or did any company made them back then (eg: GPM):?: I have never seen one like that before...

And now in my best 1980's WWF generic wrestler voice:

"YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR THAT EVERY PIECE OF ARTILLERY IN THE MELVINSARMY ARSENAL IS AIMED AT THAT AUCTION BROTHER! SO, IF YOU WANNA STEP INTO THE RING, YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU BRING THE BIG GUNS!"

That is of course unless someone shows me some obscure website from Korea that is mass producing these things, I'll just buy a new one then.

Seriously though, I'm going for it. I have a veeeeerrrry special project that it would be perfect for. Yes it is an RC10 based project, not one of those silly crawler things the kids are into these days.


Psssst, please don't point this auction out to Alex from InetRC. I can talk big, but he'll clean my clock if he want's the same thing.

alex would just make his own... oh wait, he already has.

i swear i've seen alloy stealth cases somewhere online. maybe one of those sprintcar shops?

[MelvinsArmy]

hmm, time to do some investimigatin. I've got a six pack and 2 or 3 hours until I should be going to bed. Time to put on my detective cap and turn off the cell phone. This is serious. I'll start with RD Enterprises.

I sold a GPM version on eBay a month or two ago. GPM makes them in galss beaded finish in natural silver or blue, but for the B4 Stealth. They are like $25 new. This one looks similar... do we know for a fact that this is an original Stealth? Looks newer to me.

Custom Works (oval) is now making CNC machined Delrin cases for the B3 gearbox, too. Really nice and very perfect. No mold defects at all. Very slick.



Never seen anything in aluminum for the early Stealth tranny—not even in the dirt oval world.

[MelvinsArmy]

Sure looks like the original Stealth to me. I've never seen an original Stealth tranny in aluminum before either. I'm scouring the internet and finding nothing.

[Asso_man!]

it was pretty sure that auction would make a lot of noise on our beloved forum, well it did though it remains a big mistery, WHO did that maybe we should call CSI, investigate the prints on it... serioulsly, Melvin, first thing you could do is asking the seller where he bought it sounds more easier

[Asso_man!]

this is the GPM tranny for the B4/T4, quite similar in the design...

[Dr. Robotnik]

I thought it was a GPM tranny at first (don't worry I'm not interested) and could have sworn I've seen others on ebay before however I did quite a number of searches and couldn't find a pic of a similar looking tranny other than the one posted by asso_man

Check out Klien motorsports, they made tranny cases like that back in the day.

Dennis makes some pretty sweet RC10GT aluminum tranny cases right now, too... I used one in my nitro sprint car when I was still racing gas cars.

I could be all messed up in my thinking, but that looks like a gt tranny. The output shaft is out the wrong side. If that tranny was turned so the slant was to the rear like a rc10t the shaft would be out the left side. like I said, maybe i'm missing something.
