Mini, just so we are on the same page- that is a first gen 2.25 stealth in there not b2/t2 etc.
thanks for your help Jeff......
when most of the ingredients available..... I would start a thread about this "Stealth 4" project.....exciting !!.....
The ideal pulley has a 3/8 hole or room for one, that way I can run it either on the slipper hub or over the slipper spring. I think the pinion pulleys would be a bit small- and more importantly expensive!

Yes it will probably have to be bored to 3/8, so a nice plain aluminum pulley will be fine

I had the kickup plate off for some changes and decided to snap a couple pics, here you can see the suspension mounts are just stock mounts trimmed.
More pics to follow soon

Just under 9" with narrow wheels/wide tires (all I had laying around) and these are the old wide offset

I won't post pics of what I had to do to that noseplate it wasn't pretty.
It's a truck plate, cut way down, flattened to about 10 degrees, and the sides cut back to clear the arms. It's ugly. It only serves to check fitment. An aluminum custom one will follow. It looks like its in the long wheelbase setting but it's because of how the holes needed to be drilled.

There are a lot of ways to go about it, my techniques won't suit everyone! I'd love to see others spin on this general idea.

The kyosho components require a short arm and narrowing up the bulkhead quite a bit, so one thing to look for would be a front donor that has less offset to it. I used kyosho because it's a terrific fit and era correct but I'm sure there are better geometries out there

I have decided that I am in the minority on staying era correct. I have decided to remain AE loyal however and will try to graft the B44 front knuckles and carriers to the stock wide clip. So far it's not too far off, just slightly narrow (maybe get...
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,...

How is the car coming along? I was able to build up a similiar style car with a few changes to the front support for the shocks. I took it to my local track and I handled better than I could have hoped. Thank you for your posts and information. I...
still needs a ton o work just got the losi 5 link fit up to the chassis for now still need to drill some holes and sand blast plus fit up some more parts this is gonna be a good one! i have never seen before hope i am the first to do so. the best 2...

The Rc-X2 conversion was from Bullet Racing. It was a graphite chassis that used the RC10 front end with the JRX2 rear end. The logic, and keep in mind that this was before the stealth came out, was that the JRX gearbox was cheaper to buy than the...
Hey guys, I finally finished this car! I wanted to give it my custom flavor, but keep it as correct as possible, and come up with a '80's era paint scheme, I think I pulled it off nicely...
replaced all the black hardware and the turnbuckle...

Glad it arrived safely!
I can do another body exactly (or better) like that one if you are interested, just let me know.
I can also do just about any other paint scheme you may be interested in.
P.S. keep a lookout for my next Edinger in a few...
Have a few little things to replace and wrap up (like powdercoating the engine mount). I've had the powdercoated chassis sitting around for ages and finally decided to put it to good use. Haven't decided on the wheels yet. Don't like the plastic MIP...

WOW!! I'm impressed. The MIP 4wd conversions where hard to get new!! I guess you guys never got rid of anything, huh?
EDIT: See thread here for complete listing of Ten4 parts and where to buy them
Thought I would start a new thread on this, outside my Tuning Options thread, since it's going to be a pretty big project.
Jeff (GoMachV) and I are taking this on...
Hi
After a long layoff, I'm working on my MIP 4WD conversion. So far I have both front and rear gearboxes and the cable installed. I had to bend the front chassis braces, and now it looks like I will need to add spacers to join them to the front...

Wow great pictures ! That car is very well done. I'll have to get back to work on mine. Thanks for posting these.
not b2/t2 etc.
it wasn't pretty.
