MIP 4X4 kit for the RC10 - GAUGING INTEREST ONLY

Post by **Jeep-Power** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 5:19 pm

Interested!

forgive me, I didn't read through ALL the pages--

is this kit going to replace the rear transmission, or will it entail modifying the OEM 6 gear trans?

i havent read the past few pages, but i'm pretty sure its going to the stealth-based legends lit, and use the stock associated steath tranny, just with a different idler gear.

That makes sense-- after finding this photo in another thread-- I can see the drive belt appears to come off the drivers side of the trans-

Does anyone have any detail shots of the setup? I've never heard of this kit before.

look in the scan archives, or in this forum. there's plenty of info about them on this site.

Say, I didn't see it, probably missed it...but how many "versions" of the kit were there?
I remember at our local track one time years ago a guy showed up with a belt drive RC10....this was before the Stealth trans was intro'd.

No...it wasn't a Hyper-Drive...a few guys had those and I always wanted one.

There was even a guy who raced quite a bit with an RC10 with a Radiant back half, so it had a chain drive trans....

It actually worked quite well on carpet.

It was an MIP 4wd kit....pre-Stealth days. Thinkin' back, it may have been a chain drive version???:?:

The SP-2 kit chain drive kit came out for the short front suspension arms and used the MIP tranny. Then an SP-45 kit came out that converted it from chain to belt drive.
