Hi Mikea, AWESOME looking RC10. I see youre running a brushless motor and a Lipo, wht tranny are you using? I have a Stealth and I was wondering if it'll hold up to the power?
Thank you

I ran a ramped 10.5 this past weekend in mine with a B4 topshaft/slipper. Never missed a beat!

What about the diff? Will the ball diff hold up or will the gear diff fit in there from the B4.1?

It will be just fine if it's built right- no, the B4.1 is a 2.60 ratio and much larger

And a properly set slipper will add to diff life as well

Those transmissions are pretty solid... you would have to go really crazy with a motor I think... I'm thinking the bigger the motor, the bigger supply of arm mounts are needed which will become a bigger problem,

Why doesn't he just use the 2.4 tranny that's in the T3 allready? seems like a lot of work to make a 2.6 tranny fit when there really isn't much of a benefit to doing it?
Furthermore, lets not jack Mikes thread with this.
Back to Mikes gold racer!

So i went into two of my local hobby stores yesterday to pick up a few more spares for my buggy and i was looking for a long screw for my B4 wingmounts and i took my buggy and there was a ton of people checking it out and asking questions about it and were wanting to see it run. I will be taking it to the track on the 13th and can't wait to see the look on peoples faces when its running around the track. I picked up some Jconcepts chassis protector, a set of front arms and a pair of 25 degree castor blocks.
