Doh! Good to know. Maybe I'll engrave your username into the back side of the parts for him

OK OK even I got caught up in the last MIP "announcement". Should have known. So, lets do it again. The Ten4 was good, but the parts are just all out of date. The B44 front axles especially. Materials have vastly improved. Ideas have improved. Announcing the Ten4.1 I started by completely ...

no plans to limit it, but they will be done in runs. If the first 25 pulley sets sell, ill order more. I cant afford to get a couple hundred and then have nobody buy em like last time lol.

No, it is too far out to know but it should be less than it was 10 years ago. The same AE requirements will be there and the prices there might be quite a bit higher. Luckily we have FanRC. His diffs will be perfect and cost far less.

The kit manual works great, they all go together the same way

Here is the direction I'm headed on the front end. One printed part. And even that might end up being machined or molded Versus here is the old way

If only someone made one.....

Glad they went back to the good shocks ball ends. Hated those ugly oversized ones

I added a section on our website for the Ten4, it will be a place to keep up to date of the releases and also links to purchase. https://factoryworks.com/the-ten4-returns I also listed the "oops" key fobs in case anyone wants to support the project by helping cover some of our mistakes :lo...

Ideally it's best to buy as we go, as the first round feeds the ability to do the second and so on. Once all are finalized, only then might there be a "kit". The pullies and idlers unlock the ability to complete the already available shapeways parts too, which some people already have. In ...

I ordered one and it arrived today, printed a pair of bearing adapters cause who has 10x16 bearings on hand lol. Fits and works well! Now, I will say it's a little wider than stealth but that's not a bad thing especially if AE continues to make their CVA shafts too short lol. This will also work wel...

Got a little further tonight. Redesigned the steering cranks for some extra throw, and designed a new belt tensioner that should be a lot easier to use. The final piece will be machined aluminum. The slotted portion retains a nut so to adjust you just loosen the screw slightly and you don't have to ...

I haven't built any of the 40th kits yet just the silver. I don't remember the 2013 kit being this flexi

silly question but often overlooked- do you know for fact that it isnt the diff slipping? When you hold both tires and spin the slipper gear, the nut MUST not move. If it turns with the gear then its the diff slipping.

more efficient. Note that brushless has immensely more torque than a nitro truck, I wouldn't use them with brushless personally.
