My Ten4 evolution (as it used to be another 4wd RC10!)

Hi All,

Some may have seen my efforts over the past year or so with converting my new build Team Car to 4wd.

Initially, with a lot of help from Jeff (GomachV) and Mini, I went down the route of the dual stealth setup where the front stealth was fixed to the custom front tower using the 4 chassis mount holes of the Stealth.

I did 3 or 4 videos on YouTube which you can find by searching 4wd RC10 - they are called RC10 4WD by Dan part 1, part 2, mk2, final version and one of it racing.

Anyway, that car went pretty well but I was always bothered by the fact it didn't look like a 'kit' RC10.......

When Brian and Jeff started working on the Ten4 I knew I had to have it! Living near Dubai it costs me probably double what it would if I were to build in the USA (literally costs me $20 to receive even a washer or a screw - on top of the item and USA shipping cost)....but I knew I had to build one!

So I disassembled my Stealth4 and with the kind help of Jeff and Brian I ordered the parts needed. I also bought an extended Turbo Mirage from Morten.

I am only waiting on the front CVD's, bearings and wheels really and then she is done. I plan to dye the wheels orange. I countersank the front tower mounting screws to give a bit more front shaft clearance and have Yokomo adaptors at the rear.

Hope you like where I am at so far.

Cheers,

Dan

Love the overall look of this buggy so far. The paint is simple but the colors all look very good together.

Really love the paint scheme as well.

Looking at this and the other 4wd RC10 conversion out now gets me just as excited when I first saw Jammin' Jay's 4wd in the RC magazines in the '80s.

It will be interesting to see what the durability of the Ten4 kit is like over time.
