I am ALL EXCITED seeing this project!!

This is the idea I have been kicking around. I was going to use pulleys off the idlers on the left side just like the MIP kit. Could leave or trim off the top shaft part of the trans. I was going to find 48 pitch pinions trimmed and drilled out to 3/16" Id for some longer shafts to allow room externally for mounting a pulley. I was going to use traxxas 4tec 15 tooth pulleys cause they are cheap.

Great work here. Dual motors for a 10T would be cool!

As far as belt driven I could see cutting the top shaft section of the stealth off to save room and possibly still fit a protech body.

Looks forward to more project pictures.

I like where you're taking this, Jeff. If 4WD RC10 conversions are so stupid-expensive and not even executed particularly well, fabricate your own.

The RC10 name is terribly ambiguous and doesn't lend itself well to nicknames or plays-on-words, but I like teman's suggestion.

Nose brace tubes on (that's why the tower was left "wide" just handnt cut the tubes yet)
Cut a rear tower to allow the belt to pass, and cut the bulkhead. Installed rubber bands to test the path of the belt.
Still searching for proper pullies, I know what I WANT to do, but it would require someone to machine a custom set of pullies for me

oh Jaaaaaaaaake......

Is the plan to mount a buggy body? Belt looks like it may a bit high for one?

Post by **GoMachV** » Fri Nov 29, 2013 6:37 pm

Haven't crossed that bridge yet but it will be close. Just paint the body one color and the racing stripe adds itself

Lol that'll work.

BTW I really like the cut of that rear tower.

It looks rougher in person

once the belt passes thru I will be able to make it more "finished"

Understatement for sure, nice work man! This is one cool build. I need to find me an anodizing guy, and get some builds going.
