A few more questions, do you have any information about:
- teeth number und pressure angle (14,5 or 20 degree) of the idler gear,
- profile and teeth number of the belt,
- teeth number of the pulleys,
- length of the CVD ("pin-to-pin")?

With exception of the belt (HTD 573 3m) and drive shafts (have not had time to model them yet) the step file contains all of that info. It would take me time to go through and research all that for you, but that is the purpose of providing the files in the first place. Not trying to be mean, I just dont have the time to research it when I already spent a full day doing it the first time.

Oh yeah, Jeff, thanks a lot,found everything! Pressure angle not directly, but i modeled 48dp in 20 and 14.5 deg an compared it with your drawing Seems to be 20 deg, which is good to know, because I was wondering for a long time which pressure angle Associated is using. I appreciate your work a lot! Thank you so much!

Just one last remark: I like the Ten4.1 a lot more than Asso's RC10 4WD. The front hub carrier style is so much more vintage! I don't understand why Associated took this bulky modern parts for the front end. The look doesn't match the rest of the car. Don't they have the time (or passion) to redesign the parts to fit the real vintage style? Just copy-paste parts from a modern car in CAD and that's it?

I will build my RC10 4WD in the Ten4.1 style, either by buying Ten4.1 spares or by designing C-hubs and hub carriers myself (or maybe waiting for Jeff to upload the 4.1, which I think he will not do, because its better than the AE-version! )
