admired the MIP Legend 4-10 for a long long time...........finally got the chance to pick up a complete set few years ago........eventually squeezed some time to get the project started recently..........

the first thing to do is to dye the parts all black........

the next thing is to get a new "C stamp" black tub & the truck nose plate.........because I am going to use the wide track front arms.......... & the front shock tower will need to have some modifications......which will be shown later..........

also, I need to re-do the countersinking on the black tub as the original holes are too shallow...........

start with some bread and butter first..........

stay tuned.........

with the great help of tiger1@rc10talk for the drilling work of the rear bulkhead......... .........adding the DIY rear belt tensioner.........& filing up the rear shock tower.........plus the Kyosho Lazer ZXR adjustable wing mount........ lovely !!.....

finished the stealth gear box today.............put in the longer main slipper shaft...........which fits both the Losi vintage hydra slipper & modern dual pads slipper...........I choose to bolt in the dual pads slipper now.......

We haven't had a 4-10 build in a while. It'll be interesting to see what you do with the tower on a truck nose plate.
