Stealth X transmission

[@davidbanaszak562]

You make a great point with the hard parts.

[@jerroldtaylor3047]

Love the Enduro I now have a builders kit , trailrunner and now a Ecto they are one of the best platforms out there in my eyes

[@ekpauly]

Thank you for saying what a lot of people are thinking. And great assembly information on the stealth x. I have one on order.

[@ExocagedRC]

ekpauly you like the trans for sure.

[@simoncycling6685]

I'm with you here ...the kit should come with hard plastic parts !!!

[@baxrok2.]

Slick item. Good point about the greasing of gears. People definitely over grease. Thanks!

[@forresterpaige7767]

This baby is going right directly into my gen 7 :) love this trans what a difference I seen in your other video

[@stephanevaucelles6378]

hello and thank you for the video, it is a gearbox with overdrive, and can be mounted on any crawler

[@michaelhoyle2665]

I’ve got one of those transmissions on my work bench right now. It’s going into my Ascender. I agree 100% about the hard vs soft plastic issue. We shouldn’t have to pay to fix their design flaw. It’s what is keeping me from buying the truck or kit. If they add the hard plastic parts in the future, without having to pay extra, then I will pick one up.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Where are you getting a skidplate that fits this transmission to put in an Ascender?

[@michaelhoyle2665]

@@OutdoorsWithShawn , I had originally hoped to narrow the Enduro skid to fit the Ascender chassis, but the Enduro skid is too short between the link mounts as well. So atm the Stealth trans is on the sideline. I think I am going to have to make a custom skid at this point.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

@@michaelhoyle2665 that's what I was thinking. I may need to get off my rear and get my 3D printer going and make my own.

[@TerraQuestRC]

Glad to see you get it too. Sure I could have read the instructions... ended up re-doing the increased "Overdrive". Its semantics, but any other brand if you buy something for "Overdrive", you are installing a part that is in the front drivetrain. So yeah, I put the 11% on the front and it didn't work right. Wondered how many others did the same and asked on Facebook, got a couple that did it as well, but also got a few that argued that it is "Overdrive" and not "Underdrive".

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah it’s under driving the rear. The overall result is an overdriven front as compared to the rear.

[@vincelemasurier7464]

Awesome mate glad your honest about the truck. BCRC Coped a beating over his honest review of the truck and associated kicked him Off their Facebook page 👎🏽. So glad to see you guys giving an honest reviews. Keep it up champion 👍🏼

[@ExocagedRC]

If they kick me out oh well, I’ll still do the videos of the trans as I like that part.

[@vincelemasurier7464]

Exocaged RC so be it then mate it was poor form on there part 👎🏽 I made a statement on their Facebook site and immediately got Roasted so I just deleted the post and element site. Will subscribe to your channel mate 👌🏼

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Some good points bro! Cant wait to see what you drop it in!👊

[@billderas3420]

Jewel of the Kit is the transmission with all the metal gears. That should be what Element offers as a separate assembly. Associated also sells a 32P 56T spur gear (ASC 7957) that perfectly replaces the 48P 87T gear in the Stealth X Gearbox Kit (How is plastic gearing Stealth????????).

[@ExocagedRC]

Bill Deras nice! Thank you for the part numbers on the 32p stuff.

[@STEVOD313]

Looks like a great trans

[@coreykurtz1404]

Lol, you make me laugh, can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@vincec9451]

Element is one of the best trucks put out u can perty much buy alot of after market parts and work with very lil struggle

[@marciocorreia6046]

Great review. Thanks

[@jasond1245]

Transmission looks like evolution of the SCX10 transmission

[@PhilHenzig]

For sure, I watched the video on the truck before it was even shipped and a few days later watched the video of the hard plastic replacement parts up grades. Totally seemed like a scam as they should have be on the truck already,I agree!

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Nice looking at. 👍✔NC MOUNTAINS ❤

[@chrisquigley2580]

correct me if im wrong but, it looks like a fatter ax10 trans out of an axial and the bolt pattern looks like it would work to mount to an scx10 skid plate. is that the case? the links ate for the rtr, where can i get just that trans?

[@ExocagedRC]

Chris Quigley yep on all that

Hey bud. Love your videos. Question, what's your thoughts on the plastic gears ? Should I upgrade?

[@jackymuta]

Great video

[@bryantheisch5955]

Nice build! Do you by chance know where the underdrive gears would be installed? I saw hot racing offers 3 underdrive options? Any feedback would be awesome! Thanks

[@islandrc-duke1972]

great video and info.

[@RCsRCCars]

Is there a benefit in having a slipper on a crawler. Because I have spare Team Associated slipper kits laying around.

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah I like having a slipper, when set right you will never know its there but when bound up they will save parts.

[@RCsRCCars]

Thanks. Any thoughts on dig units for this gear box? I’d love to see one of your comparison videos with and without one. Thats if there’s a dig unit out there that fits the Stealth X.

[@ExocagedRC]

@@RCsRCCars There are no bolt on dig units available for this that I know of, sorry

[@motojoe5421]

How did you get your hands on just the trans ? Also you have already installed on Gen 7 ? can't wait for that video.

[@urdonercjeremyburris7541]

You have to do the same thing with the trx4 and you have atleast 3 it has the same problems as alot of trucks.

[@ExocagedRC]

Jeremy Burris yep no truck is perfect.

[@flatbedtrucker]

Agreed 100% nice job🤙

[@cokker]

I'm currently having issues with my trailwalker (blue version), for whatever reason the front drive feels like there's a stiff spot almost like a bind is about to happen, I've stripped the front, rear and centre diff but all behave smoothly. When driving it feels like the spur gear is egg shaped, I tried running with the spur loose but the stiff spot is happening. If I lift the rear of the truck and roll the front it feels like a stiff spot, if I lift the front and roll the rear it's smooth but I can''t see where the tight spot is... I'm about ready to bin the thing...

[@ExocagedRC]

Did you put in Oversrive? If so the front spins faster than the rear, that can cause drag when driving. Also you may need to shim between the driveshaft and outer bearing at the axle to keep the pinion correctly positioned.

[@cokker]

@@ExocagedRC Hi again, just a quick update to say I fixed it, I''m currently running stock overdrive (5% faster?) but this binding issue was happening with the front wheels only. I stripped the front diff again and realised the pinion was sliding forwards and backwards out of alignment as you suggested with the shim's. I'm about to do the rear as a precaution. What a headache! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! 👍

[@77dxr]

Into the lightweight scx10? 😈😈😈 Do it! Do it! 😈😈😈

[@scottishrc7857]

Too heavy

[@ExocagedRC]

Daniel R yeah this thing is just too big for that truck. However I may see if it fits though.

[@77dxr]

@@ExocagedRC if you do please let us know if it works! Proper UD/OD options is what kept me from changing over to scx10 ii in the first place.

[@jrduenas3678]

Do the bolt holes match up with scx10?

[@ExocagedRC]

Jr Duenas yes I haven’t tried to fit it yet as this is a physically bigger trans.

[@jrduenas3678]

Where can you get just the transmission?

[@ExocagedRC]

Jr Duenas links in description

[@jrduenas3678]

Exocaged RC I get the complete truck not just trans when I click on the link

[@jrduenas3678]

I’m interested also to know if you did anything else to the gen 8 with trx4 axles. I was thinking of building one.

[@jrduenas3678]

I can’t wait to see what you put this trans in. Sounds interesting!

[@ExocagedRC]

Jr Duenas you’ll have to look on their page for the trans. I thought I had it linked directly. I haven’t done anything on the Gen8 with trx axles yet.

[@bmxking1080]

I see that making its way in the gen8!!!🤔

[@ExocagedRC]

bmxking1080 yes soon. Already in my portal Gen7 and with any luck I’ll have that up tomorrow.

[@DoRC]

Is there any difference between overdriving the front and underdriving the rear? Seems like semantics to me.

[@hardcoretam]

If it's done in the axles, for sure but not sure about the trans method

[@ddavidson0404]

What tooth spur gear comes with the trans

[@ExocagedRC]

not really sure I didn't count them

[@PittsburghCrawling]

Question why do you have to change the top shaft to flip the motor? I literally took my skid plate off and flipped it around and I didn’t have to change anything. Wondering if you did that so you could increase the overall speed of both front and rear ratios?

[@ExocagedRC]

because of the OD/UD in the transmission. if you just spun it around you may be Overdriving the rear now

[@wrchobby1451]

Looks like a sc6.1 clutch shoes and spring would work.

[@ExocagedRC]

Wrc Hobby If you have one please give it a try. I’ll ask around locally and see if anyone has a clutch for that model.

[@BobSmith1980.]

OK so I bought the truck kit, been trying to figure out the point of flipping the trans front or back. Its in the same spot so it can't be for weight distribution, what am I missing here?

[@mikebird8290]

YOU TOTALLY SPEEKING THE TRUTH SIR🇺🇸🗽✌️👍

[@DR.ELEKTRIK]

Will this transmission work on the Enduro Knightrunner?

[@ExocagedRC]

It should already have this trans out of the box.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

Couldn't agree with you more on the Sendero rig. I think the installed soft part and "buy our hard parts" thing is a complete money-grab. I highly doubt the hard parts are more money to manufacture, so why not include them in the RTR & Kit?! Your simple statement on the Element gives the perfect example of every rig out there. I seen a very harsh & mean Element review by a Aussie guy who has hardly any RC experience. You know...people should get some actual time under their belt...real experience building numbers in rtr and kits and scratch build rigs of more than one manufacturer(Cross in this case) before they review stuff. Every rig...kit or rtr has problems as minimal as they are. Really tho...nobody I know has had mechanical issues with the soft parts. I guess it's better to flex than break. At least it's not Tamiya plastic. Agree again on the AE transmission....I'm sure it'll end up in alot of none Element rigs.

[@ExocagedRC]

Tom Lucas very well said, luckily I’ve built and ran a LOT of scalers. LoL.

[@pf465]

I agree on the thoughts about this truck... completely un-impressive!!!! I was at PLBTF (Pro Line by the Fire) when this truck was on display, not only was I not even impressed, I was under impressed lol. holding the truck in my hand I noted major slop in the drive train, $hitty panhard mount WTF?, and lame looking axles. Just as a joke I tried to start a conversation with the Rep first asking if AE was still open to feedback about the about the truck in general & the panhard mount design - the guys response (with 4 witnesses I shit you not) was, "well, this is how our engineers designed and tested it, so it's fine). He also said about 14 times "the trans is a standard bolt pattern so it will fit axial, also axial standard bumper mounts and so on about axial compatibility. I will certainly not be buying one of these, maybe the trans.

[@ExocagedRC]

P F I really like the transmission. It’s huge compared to the axial though.

[@skirmich]

Yikes… 48p in a crawler.. What is this? 2008?

[@ExocagedRC]

lol its not so bad with all the reduction, but yeah I'd rather have 32p too.

[@NaturallyRC]

Astute comment, skirmich. I own the Enduro, and it's okay, but a long list of things reveals that it was designed by folks with tons of asphalt experience, who never owned a crawler. Try getting those recessed (mistake) m2 (mistake) screws out of the skidplate, after you've been in the dirt. And that's just one example.

[@BDcumminsdiesel]

I got the transmission kit after driving my enduro and stuck this transmission in my scx10ii

[@ADHDNME777]

No quality, NO MONEY FROM ME!!

[@ExocagedRC]

huh? this transmission is nice IMO
