Was there any word from MIP about a release date for their 4wd conversion kit?

Well it's unique, I'll give them that. I might have considered it if it came with an old school cab over body lol. Lot of grown men crying about it on AEs FB page like it was a personal attack towards them that they go ahead and release something different.

If it is a semi I can't wait to see all the hate for it on the FB groups lol.

Looks great

That was a long time build, great work.

Finished up the body work...

Never thought I'd see the day I'd own three 4wd rc10's, what a great time for retro RC. Can't wait to see the MIP kit, hopefully they still do one, I have a team car rere waiting for it.

That's what I was thinking when I saw how close the teeth were.

Nice, I usually don't buy a second of the same kit but I might have to for this one.

Poor design on battery hold downs, well not the design but the fitment with the body. The body bottoms out on the hold down keeping the body from lowering to where it should be which exposes the gold tub from the side.

Build progress

TEN 4.2 kit?

Gear boxes assembled, the diffs need to be shimmed. They are included in a bag with a QR code that brings you to a YouTube video to supplement the instructions.

Haven't got into it too much yet, this is it for tonight.

OK, I've seen some photos and they look very very similar in both design and appearance. But, what I need to know is when can we expect to see the side by side comparison photos of the overall and individual key components? Somebody has to do that. Mine got delivered today, I'll get some pics after...

My order status just changed to awaiting shipment.
