Tekin RC10 mid engine with RPM 2.65 trans and hydrodrive

Just the other day I picked up a used RPM 2.65 case off of e-bay. For some reason it had the other side of the slipper shaft drilled out. I thought it was odd, but after thinking the mid engine Tekin RC10 popped into my head. So I used one of my RPM 2.65 hydro drive shafts and a little modification to the RPM case and it was good to go. I'm pretty happy with the overall results.

I like that chassis. Do you run it at all and if so, how does it drive?

The Tekin Manual suggests you use Losi Part #A-2038

Yup, I have the same on mine. Use the lower set of holes and it fixes the geometry.

Just like was stated above, I used the Losi hubs as per the Tekin's directions. Here are some close up's of the hub on the Tekin, I also used them on my one team car.
