im trying to get this in my MIP change box

wich is no help
why does it need a shaft spacer?
any help
thx farmer
my spelling not so good! but i can DRIVE the wheels off anything!
I have original stealth casing in my rc10ce, and b4 topshaft _without_ spacer. Using same sized bearing on both sides and fits fine. Maybe you should get topshaft without spacer?
Hello all. I've been doing some casual club racing with my old T3 just to get some extra wheel time. Anyway, I want to put the T4/B4 slipper/top shaft on it.
I've heard you have to shim up the topshaft to make this work.
For those that have done...

The manuals are on AE's website. Same about of shimming as stock.
I put a MIP top shaft and dual slipper on my T2 without issue.
Can anyone ID this top shaft in the B3 I'm building? It's aluminum, and there's a stud that threads in for the slipper hardware. I can't seem to find anything online. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I've got the manual.
I don't know if I need to change it. It was assembled when I got it, so I'm just going to slap it back together. I was curious if anybody knew what that top shaft was, and if I possibly needed different spacers to shim...
Have been out of the hobby for about 18 years just now getting back into it.
Looking to swap the top tranny shaft in a B4.2 with a B3 top shaft. Can this be done?
If this can be done I will buy a B4.2
Thanks for any help.

I did it the other way round so I could run a B3 with a B4 slipper for a brushless setup. It was a straight swap so I can't see why you couldn't do it the other way.....
i have the b4 top shaft for my stadium truck now my son wants to get the other truck i have going instead of switching tranies does the b4 topshaft fit the stock 10t tranny or just the stealth.
i wonder how hard it would be to mount the b4 tranny it...

i do have a stealth but i also have 2- 6 gears as well.
i switched the topshaft and the slipper and spur worked great.
with brushless my son cruised it around the track the other day.
After some help to save my sanity. I found this Steel topshaft at home and cant work out what its for, The best guess i have is that its an aftermarket B4 top shaft ??? As its the same length also. However, it has a thicker shoulder up to the gear...

Ignore me, sussed it now....... :)
Wait what was it?
Probably something to do with the machined spacer instead of a bearing surface
Fan RC is reproducing them but they appear to be out of stock everywhere.
I know Avid makes a version but it's aluminum and I'd prefer a steel shaft and gear.
Anyone else making these?

There could be some inexpensive gearboxes that periodically pop up. That shaft and the slipper assembly are in:

Would one of you kind souls measure the dimensions of a slipper or Hydradrive top shaft that has the top gear keyed to a roll pin, please and thank you...?! It's for a secret project that may or may not include mutting up a Lethal Weapon for an even...

I never used any Loctite on that screw, but I did use my German-calibrated torque device and set it to Gutundtite :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
