Cutting belts down sucks, 6mm is off-the-shelf and cheap. Plus it's pretty tough! You can get them on amazon for about $4, a little more on sdp but the main thing is that they are all available. Same with the pulleys, want to overdrive the front? $10 for an aluminum 14t pulley and your done. Nothing custom

The belt is too short currently, so I have a proper one on order. It will likely need a tensioner of sorts but I would prefer to not have any if possible. That's one reason why in not a fan of driving off the center gear, belt is really low and needs an immediate idler on the bulkhead (although on the slack side)

Trans spaced out, topshaft braced and no machining or special parts needed except my brace
Front caster block modified for width and caster. Currently at 6 degrees measured on the car. This part will be one of the custom parts made for this version, along with the trans case and possibly the rear bulkhead

Lastly, I have carved on the case and it's getting pretty small. It's not MIP small but not too bad

Nice work on the motor mount spacer/support.. what size bearing is that in there?? I have a jrx2 that I want to add a bearing to support the slipper shaft... also the front trans looks great.. I have been looking at pictures of the MIP part to see what they did to get the profile lower in their version.. going to see if the instruction manual is available in the scans section or online.. I think I remeber seeing someone who did a model of theirs on here.. I am going to keep searching to see what they did to help in the developent of yours..
I have the important parts packed up and on their way to you soon.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm starting this project, but every once in a while a thought pops in my head and I finally decided to put it to paper...and g10. The kickup is Kydex for mockup, the rest is basically finished and usable. Bump steer is...

think its time for a jrx2 5 link mip 4-10 build!! :)
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...
Been at this one for a while now and finally about to wrap it up. All parts are scaled 1/2 from the 12e making it a 1/24 car. Fits slot bodies but I'm struggling to find a nice early 80s stock car for it. I made a few concessions along the way but...
This has been in the works for about 2 years and at one time I had pictures of the original parts assembly but in the meantime I lost my external hard drive where I had stored the pictures so this is all I have to show.
The original SP-2 4wd kit...

This is my favorite RC10 build of all time. So many great details and rare pieces all put together perfectly. Just love it! Great work!
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...
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?
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...

Blue and gold works so well... and that transmission is so mythical, this should clearly end in a BotY kind of final competition when done! :shock:
Well I saw a post asking for WIP projects and so thought I'd post mine. Here is my first RC10, I am a big fan of vintage hop-ups and so this car at the moment only has the motor plate from a gold tub RC10 (and this has been modded to fit the...

Hey man, any chance of scanning those decals? I could use a set for my project.
