RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I read here on the list that the mip 4wd kits are not rare. I beg to differ seeing as though I have only seen a handfull of them. So my question is to find put how many here have them. So if you have one or know of one then sound off. I will start

1 first generation cable drive qty 1
2 second generation kit with belt drive qty 2

i dont know if you are talking my list shodog ,i just said no mip because we all know that its uber rare

I sold barrypops his first gen and typisch got a first gen kit from me also

The 3 410 kits recently on ebay and I just sold a partial 410 kit

I don't believe the 4-10 Legend kits are as rare as some make them out to be. The cable and early kits maybe, but not the last gen kit. Granted, MIP probably didn't make millions of them, but I bet they made more than a few hundred. And we can't go by only the number of owners on RC10Talk because there's people outside of this site that own MIP kits.

I can think of several conversion kits that I would consider more rare than the Legend kit:

- Advance Engineering mid-motor conversion
- Hot Trick direct-drive sprint conversion
- Real Racing tuber
- Any of the Team Pit Stop Nova kits
- HyperDrive on-road/oval conversion
- JCAR on-road/oval conversion that used RC12L front end parts
- Even the AGI Jammer on-road/oval conversion.

How many of these kits have we seen compared to the Legend kits? A lot less.

I had 3 cable drive kits but sold them 2 years ago. Ones in Germany (rauskuman), one got mounted on a sand scorcher and sold on ebay not long ago and the other I parted out.

I agree I have seen a decent amount of the 4-10 kits I dont think Mip really supported them with replacment parts and that is what makes them so rare to find complete.

Didn't MIP make a chain drive 4x4 conversion kit for the gold pan RC-10? I recall seeing one at Walt's Hobby (old store) and thinking as a little kid that the conversion kit cost as much as my RC-10.

typisch(oliver) now there is a collection id like to see the ultimate

has there ever been an owned cable drive on 10talk?

My second gen kit originally came with a chain but i put on the optional belt drive. Hows that for a hop up on a hop up

There was a german article that profiled him. he has a ton of stuff

I have one of the cable drive kits

all of the mip kits have to be rare because i've never owned one.






















or i'm just too cheap to buy one. you know...... that's probably it.

I would like to have one, hopefully it won't cost me an arm!
