It will have an opening to be bump started. Have to find my dremel to cut the opening still.
Kinda hard to see but in this picture you can see I haven't finished bolting my engine mount to the chassis cause the flywheel won't allow the mount to sit flush on the left side. Hopefully I've done it just right so the flywheel doesn't hang out the bottom but is just flush with the bottom.

That's cool I haven't seen that before. Just another one I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for I guess. That looks like a CZ1 engine with the cone starter on the rear. Now that I've added a rear mount on mine I could probably eliminate the part that bolts to the back so a pull start engine could mount up. IDE like to get even thicker gauge alum if I did that though.
Over my mothers house on her computer looking at the archive RCCA magazines and I found a cool picture from a March '92 magazine.
Would be cool to find more pictures of this. I'm guessing this was one of his first attempts at a conversion kit? I'll keep looking just wanted to share.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website

My kyosho Stinger had aCZ1 with the cone starter. I didn't have an airplane starter to use with it so I had to use a string to start it. Wrap the string around, pull, and repeat until it fires up. What a pain that was.

I don't have plans to anytime soon. Maybe someday if I pick up a nitro car to run and I have the supplies then I would consider it. But I don't want to buy the stuff just to run this. I just enjoy building these days.

Well, I don't know where ALL of them are but I have a NIP Dudgeon A Main conversion kit and......
There's one on ebay.....
I posted pictures quite a while ago of the original mass produced truck; the one in the picture above was one of Kunio's first attempts....
OH, almost forgot - I have a A Main Losi conversion too - but it's not new!
I tried to find some of my postings on the truck but don't seem to be able to locate them....
That looks spiffin'!
The guys I race with over the summer race nitro stadium trucks (alongside some other electric classes)
I don't own anything nitro, but I've wanted to race with them. How funny would it be to show up with something like this.
"What is that, an RC10GT?"
"nope... just a regular 10T"
That little exhaust hose looks like it was made for that job
Never one to leave well enough alone, Duratrax found a way to fuel the desires of early 90's gas truck racers.

Funny what some people remember that others don't, isn't it? A lot of aftermarket conversion parts were kinda crude back in the day compared to now. I've got some Duratrax chassis' that look like they were cut with a hand saw so, a janky chain drive...

A Blast from the Past! The Year 1993. Of course working in a hobby store it's got a few hop-ups added here and there. All the White Nylon was dyed yellow.

Kind of butchered it, oh well those were the day's!
Does anyone have a writeup on the old A-Main Racing (AMR) trucks as run by Kinwald, Lett, etc, pre RC10GT? I'm thinking 1991... My LHS guru recalls a RCCA writeup on Kinwald's truck.
Got two VERY different AMR trucks, both pre-GT, the only thing...

Does anyone know the source of the right outdrive for the transmission below? I'm attempting to rebuild a Losi LXT/Duratrax Gas Conversion truck. As can be seen in the photo, the outdrive is deformed, and will not hold the drive shaft in place. The...

Thanks for the help, you put me on the right track. The Losi LXT I was using was based on an Lxt conversion. This uses an older transmission design and the out drives don't work on the Duratrax. I found true LXT outdrives and they fit.
