MIP VS Stealth Trans.

I am looking for a transmission for my project. The chassis is fitted for a stealth, but there are not many around at the time. I have seen a couple of MIP trannys around. What is the difference performance wise? And I think I know the answer to this one, but, does the MIP screw on to a RC10 chassis w/o drilling any other holes?

MIP made a few different trannies but the most common one being the black case SP-1. It fits the older six gear mounting holes. Performance wise, they work really well.

cool, I think scr8p had one up for sale back in December. I may have to see if he still has it around if I continue here good things about it. There is SP-1 on ebay right now too.

Do they have the same gear ratio?

Is the DS stealth trans different than the typical associated rc10 transmission?

Man, this might be a stupid question that everyone knows but me..., but did the MIP or the Stealth come first. I was thinking the MIP came first, but that seems weird to me.

How much later was the Stealth?

MIP trans came out during the time when AE was still making that old 6 gear trans for the original RC10, which mean before 84. The stealth came to the market at about the rc10 team car time, as far as I remember, which was about early 90s, probably 1991 or 1992.
Therefore, the MIP trans was almost (at least) 3 quarter of a decade ahead of stealth.
