Ten4: the 4WD RC10 project

[SFC K]

I really like how this is coming together. The belt guide incorporated into the rear bulk head looks very nice!

[j-sou]

Agreed! The built in belt guide is a great idea! Very cool to see this coming together, and like you said, it's nice not having to wait weeks for parts to be printed.

Yeah, i figure it provides more frequent entertainment for you guys that way too. You get several updates a week this way, much better than one or two a month

New transmission case with the area between the arm mounts filled in:


Gives it a much cleaner look for sure. I also changed the shape a little of the front tensioner and printed one of those, but the battery on my phone died before i got a picture of it

I think moving the belt guide mounts on the rear bulkhead is the last major thing i have left to do. We're getting there!

I really like that you are also making a stealth rear tranny case that have the old 6-gear tranny mounting screw pattern, and are bolt-on to older pre-stealth chassies. For us without stealth RC10's that is a real gem.

As I'm a RC10 newbie, and both my RC10CE's have the old 6-gear trannys, would a kind soul help me making a list of what parts (gears, shafts, outdrives, ball bearings, spacers etc) I will need to complete the stealth tranny for this project. Preferably with part numbers. I just know that if I should do this myself, I would end up with tons of wrong and expensive parts

I just want to be prepared when these 4wd parts "hit the streets".

Tom, the easiest and most economical thing to do it by a good used Stealth transmission from ebay. Other than that you can look up the parts on AE's website, and they do sell a complete Stealth transmission kit, but its over $100 USD

Thanks, I'll see what I can find

Great work guys, can't wait to see the final product. Also, glad that you guys considering allowing people to get the parts for the conversion.

Money waiting in my PayPal account as we speak

I may build 2 of these.

[minimini]

I am ready now

[GoMachV]

Me too! Oh, wait.... Lol

Still waiting on my end for word on idlers/pulleys and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. There's always back up plans but if the supplier I'm working with comes thru it will be sweet!

[mk-Zero]

I printed version 2 of the rear bulkhead last night. I moved the belt guide down a bit


Much better on the belt clearance with itself


Getting *really* close! I think I am going to move the rear belt guide down a little further, then I need to finalize the belt length to have proper tension.


Now if we could just get our vendor to follow through with the custom input/output shafts...

[janaya]

I've been away from the forum for a bit but damn. This is looking pretty sweet. I shouldnt be but some how I'm getting blown away by the ingenuity and skill of the people on this site/forum. This looks killer.

[PlastiZapCA+]

I'm going to be on the list when you guys get it ready. This is way too cool to pass up! I'll have to turn it into a dirt oval car though.
