Mine bounces back and forth between tomorrow and Friday. So knowing ups it will be Monday :lol: The belt is the same, which in turn means the pullies, while plastic, are the same tooth count and the location of the front gearbox has to be within 1.5mm or else that belt wouldn't work. Pretty confiden...

I'm going old school on mine, a real MADE IN THE USA K&B .18 engine. They are available from Mecoa and I have a machined head coming for it since mine came with the sport head. The pull start fits the non pull start mounts perfectly, but needs a pull start header which is a hard part to find cur...

I'll do some pics as well, they copied parts from the original Ten4 as well as the 4.1 so items like the tensioner and knuckles and carriers won't look like 4.1 parts but next to an original you can see the heritage. The idlers are copied off the Robinson design we used on the first one as well, I h...

We used 1/4 x 3/8 x 2/16 in ours

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...

I recently ordered a few (10) from the supplier I get my Ten4 belts from. I wasn't paying attention, I actually needed the coarse belts but got fine belts. They are 318 tooth 4.7mm wide mxl. If anyone in the usa wants to try them and see if they like them, I'm happy to send out a couple. Probably no...

this build is taking a while, but im documenting the parts. And by documenting I mean giving them out to anyone and everyone.

I noticed even after seating mine the gear still rubs the arm, and I'm pretty sure I remember the original trucks were pretty close too. Shaving a very small amount from the arm fixed mine.

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...

Aha! The 4.2 is coming!!!

Doh! Oops

The RC10 4wd needs a ten4.2 sticker dangit I might need to print some up now

My wife got a bloody Mary like that at a local places called "Th Achor". It's in an old skippers building. Anyway, I am also not a bloody Mary fan but adding food on top is weird

Looks like lrp sells an inexpensive 3 port with pull start (amain, around $130), and they have an optional roto start for it. I'd be tempted to go that route, pull start first and if it has issues try the roto start. With the roto you should be able to clock it into a position that clears.

We quit kitting ours in December to make room for mip. I have a plan going forward but can't commit to it until I know for sure what Eustace is doing

Obviously not from AE, these were taken from the parts as I built the kit. If anyone wants to play with them, here ya go. Probably not 100%, but should be a real good start. These measurements taken from the kit parts, and have not been adjusted at all for 3d printing. You may need to open up holes,...
