Hmm sounds like it's time for a challenge.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

The DS will definitely need a different front shock tower setup that opens up the space down the middle of the nose plate. It could be interesting on a DS.

I agree - The DS sounds like a cool project for the Ten4.1!

I think I settled on the colors. Mostly Silver and white with a few gold accents.

That's a good looking rig! Are the wheels hex drive or pin drive?

The final piece for the first 50 arrived today, and the second batch of pulleys and gears are due late next week. Things are shaping up! Oh, and the instructions are on the website now also although word destroyed my pics and I need to redo that portion. https://factoryworks.com/the-ten4-returns

I put up a few kits on our website just now. Plenty more coming, just waiting on some bearing sets from Avid.

putting up the last few for a couple weeks in just a few minutes. They are all white kits (some long, some short arm; some black, some natural tower) while we wait for more black parts and bearing sets to arrive.

I just realized I hadn't shown off the latest two pieces. All new kits are coming with machined nylon bellcranks, and we have optional aluminum caster blocks now as well. With those two parts, we are just left with 2 printed parts on the car. The bulkhead and front gearbox.
