Shodog's MIP 4wd SRB project
I've had these thoughts swimming around my head for a couple of years. I've always wanted to combine a MIP 4-10 kit with a fully hopped up Rough Rider SRB chassis. I needed to do some R&D with parts to see if my idea would work. So before I start ripping into new parts packages, I took apart my MIP RC10 and MIP Scorcher and test fit some parts and it looks like it will work. I need to add about 60mm to the width of even the RCH wide track front tubes.
Here is the body I plan to use. It's from a previous hopped up SRB build. The chassis was assimilated into other projects or sold off but I kept the body.
I may need to do some judicious trimming depending on which roll cage I go with
RCH Front suspension that I had annodized red
Rear suspension is an MIP trailing arm kit with MIP drive shafts and CRP axles
I have some vintage Kyosho dampers from the circut 1000 buggies with some CRP collars.
Transmission is a Hot trick transmission mount and a MIP transmission with ball diff and 4WD outdrives.
Of course a set of Tecnacrafts to finsh off the red theme

Re: MIP 4wd SRB project
I hope you bought that entire hobby shop out!! I cannot believe the amount of great parts of yours I've seen with those price tags!
I know nothing about SRB's, but it looks like a stellar build so far!

Re: MIP 4wd SRB project
Hey ShowOFF, I mean er, Shodog ( ), that is some dead sexy stuff right there. Your builds always amaze me! I actually just browse your gallery when I'm blue .
But all joking aside, is this the MIP cable drive SRB of yours that you took apart, or another build?

Re: MIP 4wd SRB project
The red theme is going to look great. I always like that you use these rare parts (and show us) instead of keeping them as shelf parts/cars.
Re: MIP 4wd SRB project

Re: MIP 4wd SRB project
This drives me crazy Jim,
I have almost exactly the same build ready to go with all NOS parts.......just need that darned rear MIP gearbox casing .... wonder who has one of them!!
Looks like its going to be another killer ride mate.
Hopefully I will get that casing one day - and we can have "twins across the oceans"
Cheers mate

Re: MIP 4wd SRB project
I'd love to see one of these things running, or even own one one day.
I'm halfway there with my SRB, just need the 4x4 bits.. I wish! Pffft...
Any more pics of the progress?
Cheers
Kilroy
