mip rc10 4-10 legend pics in my showroom

[oldfordguy]

Rolling chassis is complete. The front CVDs are binding so I may actually install radio equipment and run this puppy to see if they will loosen up. The 410 legend uses a 2 gear front tranny. I have another 4wd rc10 front tranny, and it is 3 gears, with a ball diff. I think its for a prestealth car.

WOW! Just checked out the pics and that buggy is awesome!!!!!!!! Never heard of the MIP 4-10 Legend kit before or even seen a 4wd gold tub rc10 for that matter. I've got major problems with this particular r/c; can't stop collecting and restoring them LOL! :-P Very Nice Bro!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments. I had been searching for about 4 years to find new mint components to make this car. It all happened within a month. Unfortunately, its the most expensive car in my collection.

you seem to be interested in all the same cars as myself..

I asked about a mip 4x4 conversion a year or 2 back on robys board, i am interested in the chain drive version. I think someone had one but i didnt have enough cash for it at the time... maybe one day.

[oldfordguy]

A complete chain conversion recently went on ebay for over 250.00. If you are able to make things work, I have a complete front gearbox for a prestealth chain conversion. Its built from all new parts, has bbearings, and a ball diff. Email me if interested. Boompowshazam@aol.com

oldfordguy,

After seeing yours, I've made it my mission to find a complete MIP 4wd conversion kit for as long as I'm in this hobby. Thanks for sharing and please post more details and pics. Thanks Again!

Aloha,

wow that looks killer. How much of the rear bulkhead did you have to remove? Do you ever plan to run it?

The rear bulkhead required a slot to be cut. Its about 7/8 inch tall, by 5/16 inch wide. Basicly, drill 2 quarter inch holes in specific locations, then use a dremell tool to connect them and make the slot a bit bigger. I do plan on at least running the car static. The left front cvd binds badly when the steering is at half lock, and a few minutes of running may be what it needs. Im not sure about letting it go on the ground. So, I have the stock AE rc10 motor and pinion installed, and need to get a good servo to mount. The front belt guide sits on top of the servo, so that piece isnt in yet. Also, the chassis has enough flex to be a problem in hard race conditions. Im going to try and fit an A&L rc10 chassis stiffener to the car to fix this. As for the pics, I wish they were better! My camera is JUNK compared to newer equipment. It just dosent have the resolution to take great detail shots.
