I'm still in search of a capable local driver probably have to supply their own electronics as well, mine are all "vintage"

I do need to sink the rear pulley just a tad more. I didnt check to see if I was bottomed out it not
This shaft can get cut off
Btw, perfect size on the pulley jake! Smaller would have rubbed and larger would have also

The parts look good and I am glad they work. We could always take some more material out of the rear pin slot to have the pulley set deeper on the shaft.
Very nice! Making more progress than I have on my 4WD GT project.
Did you run into issues with the front end regarding axles? I'm gonna have to sink my front diff into the chassis, because as I have it mounted now, the inner end of the bone barely engages with the arms level, but bottoms out in the outdrive cup with only 1-1/4" compression.
"When you are dead, you do not know you are dead; It is difficult only for others. It is the same when you are stupid."
I based it around optima bones to keep it era correct and mounting the trans on the tower I could easily adjust the outdrive height. As it sits the bones are pretty secure although I will be switching to universals at some point. With the kyosho carriers the camber link points are also a lot higher than with a standard front end. I didn't do any math really just projected the camber link up the same height as the difference at the wheel. It will take a driver to see how it performs

I sunk the rear pulley a tad more, you can see it is fairly flush with the plate now. Also test fitted a Protech, just a tad high in the front but not too bad.

Not sure if you're worried about it at all but just a suggestion to lower the body a little more. You could make a small two hole strap that goes into the trans brace holes and remove the case bolt on the top of the trans. Not sure how much you'll actually gain from that but a thought.
It was just a test fit to make sure it wouldn't be rediculously high so far. I was surprised it fit this low

I have decided that I am in the minority on staying era correct. I have decided to remain AE loyal however and will try to graft the B44 front knuckles and carriers to the stock wide clip. So far it's not too far off, just slightly narrow (maybe get...
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...

The Rc-X2 conversion was from Bullet Racing. It was a graphite chassis that used the RC10 front end with the JRX2 rear end. The logic, and keep in mind that this was before the stealth came out, was that the JRX gearbox was cheaper to buy than the...
Hey guys, I finally finished this car! I wanted to give it my custom flavor, but keep it as correct as possible, and come up with a '80's era paint scheme, I think I pulled it off nicely...
replaced all the black hardware and the turnbuckle...

Glad it arrived safely!
I can do another body exactly (or better) like that one if you are interested, just let me know.
I can also do just about any other paint scheme you may be interested in.
P.S. keep a lookout for my next Edinger in a few...
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?
Hi
After a long layoff, I'm working on my MIP 4WD conversion. So far I have both front and rear gearboxes and the cable installed. I had to bend the front chassis braces, and now it looks like I will need to add spacers to join them to the front...

Wow great pictures ! That car is very well done. I'll have to get back to work on mine. Thanks for posting these.
