I figured I would start a build thread on my 4-10 Legend 4wd RC10. Any questions or comments are welcomed. I have not done a build thread on here, so here goes nothing. This will not be a 100% correct restoration due to parts being very difficult to find!

This is what I started with. A Craigslist diamond in the rough find:

Are you re using that chassis?

I got it all blown apart to see what I had. The pan is an original A stamp gold pan. I am going to use this pan as it is the original. I don't like how it is cut in the back, but oh well. It is going to stay purple for now until I can decide what color to go.

Here are the front knuckles and hubs. Whoever made these did a nice job! Just need some cleaning.

Got the Stealth gearbox built with the MIP shaft for the belt. I am missing the rear belt pulley. It will look like the front one pictured. Please if anybody knows where I can get one of these, let me know!

Front gear box is apart for inspection and cleaning. Everything looks great!

Looks good so far. Is it a one way for the front gear?

Cool score.
Nice way to save some weight back there. Never seen one like that.

Looks like you've got a paperclip for protection back there.

Amongst your search keywords include "mipet" which was the pet name for those hybrid pullies. I think they were considered not a cog and not a tooth

The part # I need is a 4-105 Mipet. Jeff, you are correct sir!

The front outdrives are directional, so I believe it acts as a one way. Mine has the slipper assy as well.

Here are my wheels and tires of choice. I narrowed a pair of rear Proline wheels and shaved down the centers for the front. Tires are Proline Champions.

Did some parts cleaning today to find the best original parts I could. Got the front gearbox back together.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2013 7:13 pm**

Rear end coming together.........

And finally, here is where I ended up today.
