Project graphite

How does the stealth trans work, I plan on doing the same thing, my buggy looks alot like yours

I haven't used it yet...I'm saving it for a vintage RC10 moderonization project, but it looks and feels like it is going to be sweet.

My trans is getting died now. And holes are going to be drilled

I've had parts warp when I used really hot dye but I realized awhile after that you don't have to heat it hot or even at all. I keep all my Rit Dye colors in resealable buckets and if I drop a set of wheels in overnight they are black the next night. No heating...no warping.

Hey, that is my pic! (the stealth)

Here is an update on your stealth tranny
before:

after:

This is not going into my graphite RC10, which I would of had to drill, but going to go into a custom RC10, similar to a couple of members which were discussed in the "What was old is..still old, but a lot newer" thread

It could use a bit better finish but the divots in the surface of the plate are quite deep

Looks good ! I have one of these---wish i could find a stealth trans also---they came out right after this car came out !

[vintage AE]

thanks bigbob4877!

I'm not sure if I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but this car was my dad's back in the day. I wanted to run it when I got back into RCs after 16 or so years...I got it looking like this then decided to shelf it to keep the memories. I am glad I didn't drill out the holes and replace the 6 gear transmission. I just ended up finishing a graphite Team car chassis, which has the stealth holes and I will run that one now.

Having needed to save a bunch of white parts to be dyed black, I've decided to turn this car back to original and then paint a Protech II body in a box art scheme. I have a gold pan which is being made into a trophy girl replica and it had all white parts. I swapped out the interchangeable white parts and have been scrounging around to find the rest of the white parts needed to complete the thing.

So far I got everything but the shock towers, a 4 hole front and 2 hole rear, and I also need the long original turnbuckles. I'm looking for the original electronics my dad used in this car too. He had a Trinity Speedworks 350 motor and a Tekin esc 250 pro, so if anyone has these sitting around I might make you an offer. I have the motor still, but the label is in rough shape.

I have the motor new and the turnbuckles for ya-

Believe them when I see them

I've got everything back to normal with the exception of the turnbuckles and the wing. I've got a re-re wing I can do up, so that should be done soon enough.

Much better imo over the green version!
