Shots of the original bottom load rear shocks installed
*top* loaders
(bottom only came out with the short-lived B4.1)
good pics, btw. How do you think the 3d printed square adapters will work with time?
I call them bottom load, as they are original shocks, not CE or team style loaded from inside. The fronts are CE /Team style, as I need those for my original first RC10 (coming soon).
Hard to say with the adapters, I easily threaded the holes with a 4-40 tap. A mild motor might be ok, but I would feel better if it was delrin or aluminum or even hard nylon. I have another set for my graphite Team car, so maybe Ill try...

Not sure where you got the yokomo adapters, they should use 3mm hardware, not #4-40. The hole if modeled after the original would actually be too big for a #4 screw, and likely not as strong as it would be with 3mm hardware. Since the printed parts leave powder in the holes, it's a little deceiving, so be very careful there.

I guessed it would be metric, but I don't have metric taps yet. I checked with a 4=40 tap drill and then I just tried it. It felt fine. I don't even know if they are meant to run or not. I do have front and rear Yoke wheel adapters and screws, but I didn't want to open the package to check. I will get a tap and die for the other set of TH1 adapters I have.
It was Shapeways, not sure who designed them. I would rather have nylon or delrin made vs this white stuff.
I am finally assembling my SP2 MIP 4wd parts lot that I got about 1 1/2 years ago. The only instructions I have are of poor quality copies of some of the pages. Does anyone still have a complete set of the instructions and could they please scan...
lots of cool old stuff listed for crazy prices, but the MIP stuff isnt too out of line if you go off eBay pricing LOL

The JG part of that transmission case is just the mounts and motor plate. The case is from MIP. IMO hot trick made a much better mount from aluminum....
All I would use from the kit would be the case....not that it'd make finding one any easier....
can anybody help me find out what size the belt is and if it possible to find replacement cvds or another car that i can get them from. they are 2.97 long from cup to end. thanks

Like Scr8p mentioned, it is not necessary to post the same question in 4 or 5 different topics. Please post only in one topic and be patient. Someone, if they know the answer, will get back to you. Any questions, please let me know. Thank you sir.
I started an MIP 4WD project, using a Sassy Chassis, and mix of MIP and Andy's parts. The front Andy's arms match the AE factory short arms. The MIP SP-32 was fairly used, but cleanup well. My main issue is the front outdrives appear to be short,...

So was the hole in the pulley shaft a production oversight, or would the ~1mm outward spacing have caused additional strain or belt misalignment issues?
What is the going rate for a RC10 MIP 4wd kit these days? Just curious....i might have one hiding in my closet. Its installed on the RC10, but was only ran a couple times and I have the box and a new belt as well. Just a curiosity question.

i apologize...i had no intentions of selling it honestly. i actually have alot more rc10 stuff in my closet. i wont let it happen again.
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?
Hello, I just stumbled across this forum. What a great place for all these vintage racers. I am just finishing off a couple of projects that I have been thinking about for a long time. Here is my 4wd RC10. Pretty basic build. I took a new built RC10...

It was an ebay auction from awhile back and I'm not sure who it was. I have been sourcing parts for the last year in order to finish or start builds and things are kind of a mess right now. If I run across another set I will let you know.
