:o Whoa...didn't expect that! That is a very kind offer, PBR, but before you go choppin' up a chassis, let's see what a01butal has to say about the templates he may have!

I sent a pm with a scan of the template if that won't work I gave you info on how to get the real thing from me. Also you may want to learn about fitting the later Slipper assembly from I think a b3 or 4 and that would be an excellant hop up for the extra power.

Heres a list of parts you will need to make the switch.
  • Spur gear 81T (9651)
    Slipper hub (9604) x2
    Slipper pads (9603) x2
    Top Shaft (9601)
    Slipper Spring (9605)
    Slipper locknut (6629) or a 5-40 locknut
As for using a complete B4 Stealth.....it won't work without alot of modding to both the tranny case and your chassis. You can still use your stock gear cover on this conversion......all you have to do is make sure you setup your slipper and then just mark and Dremel the excess off the top shaft end.

Heres a pic of what it ends up as.

Do you think you could send that to me also? Please. :D I want to put a stealth in my graphite runner. The only thing that's keeping me from doing now is drilling the holes. I'm sure I could do it without the template, but it would be nice to have it.

Actually, I just realized I have an old 10T chassis I can use. Thanks anyway. 8)

justin, just sent a pm with the template scans. Looks like you may not need them but it can't hurt to have some frame of reference.
