Here are the parts and options needed to build a Ten4 4WD RC10. Obviously a donor car is needed beyond what is listed here. For the Long wheelbase version, an un-cut noseplate is needed. Also note, you must use a 6565 rear transmission case (with the idler bearings mounted in the case), the World's re-release case will not work!

Hey @mk-Zero

is this still a thing? Are the parts still available?

I'm looking at converting a 6 gear, but using an MIP box at the rear, Short classic front arms, and maybe a chain instead of a belt.

I don't quite understand about the re:re. gearbox not being suitable (idler bearings?) and wonder if I will have the same issue with the MIP box?

Thanks
Mark.

The parts Brian sells are still listed on shape ways for purchase. For the short arm, I have a version of the front carriers on shape ways since officially we didn't support them. They are documented here....

The only parts that are not available from us are the idler and pulley set which you would need to create or make on your own. The rest of the AE parts are discontinued but you can source them used or on eBay etc.

As far as the rere stealth not working, it's because they moved the bearing from the case to the idler which won't work for getting power to the front wheels. Since the mip trans was used for the mip 4wd conversion it would have the bearing in the case so that isn't an issue but finding the proper 4wd idler might be. Using a different trans than the ten4 was developed for will be a struggle any way you look at it.

Hi i'm trying to build a Ten4 but part isn't available.
9749 Front CVA
What can we replace it with ?
Regards

A good portion of the parts have been discontinued. You would need to search ebay or alternative sites for some pieces.

It's a long shot but I have been working on a ten4.1. I DO NOT KNOW 100% THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AND WILL NOT COMMIT TO IT, but it is a current project I'm trying to get sorted with modern pieces. Please take note of the bold words above and I will NOT answer questions about it until it is further down the road.

Sounds great! Thank you for your efforts!
