This thread is for my RC10 4WD build.

It has begun!

Pretty neat to see a Front Stealth transmission!

Electronics arrived. Went all Reedy, figured since the OG car and the RB10 are all reedy, why not? I was eyeing some of the Castle products (they're somewhat local to me), but I also am still learning all the terms, slang, techniques of all this new 'fancy' brushless stuff.

Body trimmed, painted, decals on! Rough trim. I went ahead and put in the holes for the pin posts, but uh...well, the front diff pushes the front end up.
