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

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

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
