I emailed and never heard back. Hope to find a complete diff and pair of shafts for my fwd, turn it into a 4wd. I'd even take plastic, its not going to run. If u know anyone that has upgraded to metal let me know:-)

Hey Jason can you clarify something for me. Looking at the picture of the box it says 2WD but the car looks to have front shafts? And the description says "Two four wheel drive".....what does that mean?
SG simply used the same image for both cars. As for the other question, perhaps the just used a sticker or mark to block out the non-applicable car version.
The "2" is a sticker over the 4wd. The "two four wheel drive" is just poor wording. The 4wd was first and they simply reused the box for the rwd and fwd versions. The sticker saying it comes with the improved steel gears and bearings is the one you really want

Finaly got some paint on to my shell and here's a quick snap taken with my I-phone.
Darn that paint scheme was hard work. Could have almost given up many of times over the three very late nights it took me to knock this one out. Certainly not perfect there are a few small bleeds Certainly not perfect box art but I went with a few chages to suit my own taste.
Looks great! I plan to have mine painted for me- that's a bit complex for my abilities

What I find truly interesting is the fact the lexan shell that comes with these SG cars is infact not that pictured on the box (with black wheels). The box art shell is actually an AYK 566B Super Trail shell. For the longest time I thought they were both one and the same but to the careful eye they are infact different. No doubt TAG/SG borrowed the AYK shell for preliminary shots then opted to design (closely) something to look similar.
Now I need to find myself a repro 566B shell to paint up
Jason that paint is smoking hot! What a great job on a very unique car. Are you still planning to dye the wheels? Personally I prefer the white nylon, I think it compliments this paint scheme very well - but to each his own.
You should be proud! The only thing I've managed on my car is a set of new tires.
Seems like most of the RC cars I start to restore are very old and hard to find parts for. This one is a lot newer than I usually do, but the Front wheel drive is way too cool to pass up. I did not do very well on the paint job, but looks good. This...

I am not sure on the receiver. It is futaba G style. Was in car when I got it. Also had a Tekin speed control with G type connector. I have been putting the mechanical speed controls back in them. I think there cooler. Most people take them out and...

I'm not entirely sure why I'm starting this project, but every once in a while a thought pops in my head and I finally decided to put it to paper...and g10. The kickup is Kydex for mockup, the rest is basically finished and usable. Bump steer is...

think its time for a jrx2 5 link mip 4-10 build!! :)
Well, I finally built an RC10 for a the J Concepts Nationals in 2 weeks. I have never raced one, and haven't run 2wd in 15 years, so I thought why not. I picked up this almost new (poorly listed) team car off e-bay for $40 bucks RTR about a year...

Little update. I tried a castor block mod today, hoping it would allow for a vertical adjustment on the front end. In my particular situation it won't work. So to all of you who are thinking about it, don't bother unless you are running in a...
Here is a pic of my RC10 gold pan with its new professionaly painted box art body. Body was done by Luis in Spain, bought thru fleabay. Really makes the old 10 look good. This will be mostly a display body, maybe some light running where there is no...

I didnt paint the body or do the roll cage work, this is one of Luis's bodys from Spain. I can get some close ups later. Mike
Damn long name... Thanks to Eau Rouge for first dibs on the car. I've located a bunch of nib parts (chassis, chain drive parts, alloy hardware set, etc) incredibly quickly as well as the manual and parts list, it's all about being resourceful......

If I ever do get around to building the new one I have, I certainly wouldn't try to paint it myself.
