I had this pile of nice parts that deserved to go into a build. Then I finally latched onto an SSC10 chassis after missing one with some nice extras. But what about a black World's cut nose plate.... Hey, Yeah Racing makes one! Why not give that a try? Not everything I need is here (or has been loca...

So, you're saying you really earned that name of yours?!?!?

Now, when the MIP 4wd re-re arrives, I’m still very interested.

Me too! One thing is guaranteed with MIP, it's gonna be made in the USA. That is not optional with Eustace

Being 45 and growing up in SE WI...the highlights of childhood were Mini bikes/small engines, skyway mags, staring at the wall of BMX candy (pegs and parts) at the local bike shop, tower hobbies, freedom to roam, popping the hood on moms 86 Cutlass to charge the battery for my Raider, hanging out at...

I'm shocked that Futaba hasn't given us a retro radio yet. JR did an aircraft radio like that a few years back and it's sweet!

A far cry from the 4.0 straight six.

Running and bashing beats up an RC and make it ugly. Lack of painting ability, horrible painting concepts, bad masking that bleeds, and crash damage makes an RC ugly. Not cleaning up after a run and not storing an RC indoors make it ugly. This contest is for the uglies. What does winning mean? Congr...

Servo moved (but moved just barely enough :lol: ) and new battery cups made (same location). They are snug, but now the electronics are coming together. 👍 . 1000014644.jpg . Everything tucked in well. . 1000014658.jpg 1000014656.jpg 1000014654.jpg 1000014655.jpg 1000014653.jpg 1000014660.jpg 1000014...

SG crank will be difficult, I *think* you can cut the crank and make them work, but its been along time and I could be wrong. Also the rear exhaust will make header choice difficult. I went with a USA made K&B engine from Mecoa, but had to order the machined cylinder head as mine came with the o...

Took a few comparison pics along the way compared to our 2015 original Ten4. Still working on sourcing a set of our original Robinson made pulleys and idlers to show for comparison, but they went 15t which is exactly what we did, and the same belt as well. They will find that this skips a lot, as we...

Found a nice little domain to add my Ten4 history and pictures to.

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.
