My RC10 4wd....Gomachv and Mini inspired!

Post by wydraz »

I haven't posted the full build here as didn't want to distract from the true geniuses behind the concept of using a front Stealth gearbox to make a 4wd converted RC10. Jeff and Mini.

Anyway, I've made my own version using Optima Mid front arms, hubs and carriers - I'll let the pic and videos do the rest of the talking. :) Hope you enjoy. It ran so well I was surprised! Next I think I'll cut down the front stealth box and fabricate a cover for the resulting hole.

Well I stuck in some electrics last night and gave her a test run today and wow! Exceeded all my expectations, it runs great! Thanks again to Mini Eason and Gomachv (Jeff) for the ideas :)

Pre-electrics:

Electrics used:

ESC: Novak Hammer Pro
Motor: Old 19 turn brushed
Servo: Low profile core
Battery: 4200mah shorty LiPo

Wheels: Avante Black Special Pink
Tyres: Vintage worn Schumacher CAT Full spike (1.9"?)

Whilst I'm waiting for my Sidewinder body to arrive I found an old unknown temporary orange body to use. Next I may remove the front Stealth and Dremel it to remove the top part as there is no topshaft used at the front, then fabricate a dust cover to keep the innards clean.

Hope you enjoy the videos :)

The video is in 2 parts as my daughter accidentally pressed the home button on my phone:

We need a full parts break out so others can do this. I have a couple spare RC10's that would be a perfect candidate!

Great job!!!

2 x Robinson Racing 26 tooth 5mm 48pitch pinions
2 x 3Racing 18 tooth Pulleys 3RAC-3PY/18 (also planing to try 19's for belt tensioning reasons)

2 x Kyosho Optima Mid Hubs

Nice job looks great, what tensioner did you use on the rear stealth and how did you attach it to the tranny

I believe he is using the mip legend belt. We need to cross reference it and see if we can get it from SDP
