Thanks to Nick Barber of Remote Control Hobbies Orlando I have finally acquired an original set of our original Ten4 pulleys and idlers made for us by Robinson Racing back in 2015 or so. Interestingly enough they are pretty similar to the new AE 4wd parts. If anyone wants to build our 2015 version of the Ten4, these would be a good fit :mrgreen:

I mean, if anything I guess you could be flattered... :wink:

Crazy to me how close their stuff is to your OG 2015 release. I picture a Mission Impossible type scenario of AE getting a Factory Works 2015 car! :lol:

with the pulleys and idlers it was all Robinson. We told them what we wanted, but they did all the design work.

Any chance for an overdrive gear set in the future? Like a +1 rear pulley...or similar.

It's possible, but not on the roadmap at this time.

That is so cool! If Jeff ever offers this kit again I need to find a car to use it for and do this same thing.

Question to all... If we see a new Ten4.1 or Ten4.2 kit become available. What Vintage or ReRe model would you use for your build?

soon ;-)

the best available right now is the Team car, as it has the correct transmission. If they do further models, like a worlds car, that will also be good.

I have a World's re-re but I want to leave it as is. I need to find a Team car I guess, OG or re-re.
