MIP Team RC10 4wd Cable Conversion Driver Hoss Onnen

Post by Romulus-10 »

Hello All,

Here is a pretty great early Cable conversion. One gentleman mentioned they thought they might have seen this photographed at a Southern California track. Any help tracking down old photos of it running would be great. Special Thanks to Eustace Moore for his donation.

Enjoy, i will try to answer any questions,

Very cool, I like the rear tower that has been reshaped, and I had never noticed that the motor plate shifts over with the conversion. Great pics, very nice!

A unicorn with glitter. That's a sweet conversion. It has the torque limiter on the front transmission top shaft. I like how they used the holiday buggy rear wheels for the front wheels those front knuckles look interesting

There was a cable conversion in one of those books you'd buy at the school book fair once a year, and for YEARS I couldn't figure out what it was lol

What tires are those? The body mounts are just bent Kydex, correct?

That's what I thought too, but I have only seen grainy pictures in magazines. I want to make a couple for myself.

I will take a better look at the truck body mounts, but I think they are manufactured and chopped to fit. The wheels are the only thing i had to replace, the originals were dried and shredded. I replaced them with exactly the same brand and model of course. They are Vintage Kyosho and look great on the truck. Thanks for all the nice comments, and I am very glad you all enjoy seeing these as raced cars, they really are special.
