RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I haven't posted the full build here as didn't want to distract from the true geniuses behind the concept of using a front Stealth gearbox to make a 4wd converted RC10. Jeff and Mini.

Anyway, I've made my own version using Optima Mid front arms, hubs and carriers - I'll let the pic and videos do the rest of the talking. Hope you enjoy. It ran so well I was surprised! Next I think I'll cut down the front stealth box and fabricate a cover for the resulting hole.

Well I stuck in some electrics last night and gave her a test run today and wow! Exceeded all my expectations, it runs great! Thanks again to Mini Eason and Gomachv (Jeff) for the ideas

Pre-electrics:



Electrics used:

ESC: Novak Hammer Pro
Motor: Old 19 turn brushed
Servo: Low profile core
Battery: 4200mah shorty LiPo

Wheels: Avante Black Special Pink
Tyres: Vintage worn Schumacher CAT Full spike (1.9"?)

Whilst I'm waiting for my Sidewinder body to arrive I found an old unknown temporary orange body to use. Next I may remove the front Stealth and Dremel it to remove the top part as there is no topshaft used at the front, then fabricate a dust cover to keep the innards clean.

Hope you enjoy the videos

The video is in 2 parts as my daughter accidentally pressed the home button on my phone:

Sweet!!! Lookin good dude!

We need a full parts break out so others can do this. I have a couple spare RC10's that would be a perfect candidate!

Great job!!!

Nice job looks great, what tensioner did you use on the rear stealth and how did you attach it to the tranny

Nice work.

May I ask what is front width under this set up?

Measured from outside of tyres so greatest distance edge to edge?

I'll check when home

what belt, or did I miss that part?

I believe he is using the mip legend belt. We need to cross reference it and see if we can get it from SDP

Glad to help!

The fact it says SDP on it is a good thing thanks Aaron

Excellent thanks Aaron mine is quite faded
