Yes there is,
I just ordered a bunch of parts sets and covers from the guy. Ordered for a few locals that want to do the 3gear setup but don't want to do any cutting/dremeling like I did for mine. Looks good and the guy is a pretty cool dude. Should make it much easier for anyone wanting to go that route to basically just build and bolt in.

I will get the schelle bearings for the tranny and abide by what you said. Also what I meant by not having one for sale was a "complete" tranny where I could just unbolt my tranny and bolt theirs in, no modding of mine. How difficult is his to install with having to mod your own tranny case?

I get ya about the complete tranny option. I wish MIP would have done up a 3 gear tranny like they did for the B5m.
The guy I got parts from says the cases don't have to be modded at all and includes the longer screws so you don't have to. I'll know for sure once they get in as I got a spare set to do a proper build up with all the goodies for stock.
When I did mine, I basically followed the mod pics that were posted up on the petitrc site. Wasn't hard to do, but some might not like the dremeling of the case, which I totally understand. It's not as east as just bolt and go, but wasn't too difficult either. Once the tranny is built it bolts right in the chassis and no other mods are needed.
You're welcome

Does the motor mount up backwards/opposite side afterwards?
Just got done talking to one of the local racers who also runs an RB6 at my track and he has the 3 gear in his car and has built quite a few of them I guess, said he would make me one complete with schelle topshaft, ceramics and MIP complete puck kit. Think I'm on the right path now, will update you in a couple weeks (I'm going out of town for work otherwise this would be in and done by this weekend) once I get this in and get a night of racing under my belt with it.
Biggest issue for me is being able to chase the tighter lines. I'll further elaborate. We have a set of doubles right after a turn. The guys who have their trannies worked can cut the inside line and with little room to the top of the lip clear the double because they can accelerate rapidly. I on the other hand need a bit of room to get a head of steam to be able to clear the double so I have to take the slower line and go outside. Over 15 laps this ads up. So my line choice is based off of what my car is capable of doing and not the fastest which is why I was asking about lightening up the rotational mass.
I've also messed with my gearing quite a bit already and temped my motor as well to make sure that it's kosher. I don't need a bigger motor, I just need to be able accelerate faster.
Again thanks guys for the answers, can't wait to see what happens next

This advice is 20 years old but I'm certain it's still good.
Gear for the longest straightaway.
If your not wound out and still accelerating before you hit the brakes your geared too tall and sacrificing acceleration out of the hole.
Sometimes sacrificing top end speed for bottom end punch is well worth it on tight tracks.

I think some will look for full top end about 2/3 of the straight. Lap times will tell ya for sure

I'd guess if you can't clear the tight line double like others do. I'd drop,one tooth on the pinion and see if that helps. thenbetter bully tranny you're having built should help in that department.
Hey guys just bought my first 1/10 2WD. Currently run nitro truggy, buggy and E-buggy but wanted a change.
Couple minor questions.. 1.) Can I use stock Kyosho axles with Pro-line wheels F/R?
2.) Trying to find a base set up. Track is outdoor, Med-low bite, blue grove at times. Somewhat bumpy as buggies and truggys tear it up good.
Big fan of Tebos set ups for 8th scale but didn't see anything that looked like it would work for my track.
Looking for some help!
Thanks guys

Why can't you flip a stock diff ring?

Nevermind. Found it. My first build on a stock diff and never read that part of the manual. Turns out it was put together backwards before I bought it so I guess I can flip em'!
Is everyone running the MIP diff gear or the white one?

Either one is fine, MIP one is probably a little lighter out drive wise

Finally installed the brass rear front hanger on the car and love it. Car had the forward bite I needed and now I can dial some more steering into it. Very happy with
