For the trailing arms, I think they would work better if the rear shocks would be in front of the shock strut and more at an angle in order to move in the trailing arm direction... like the A&L system :wink: Exactly, that's how they are supposed to be, and that's how they will be in the final b...

I saw those aluminium rims on Ebay, they are well machined, but damn how expensive they are compared to Tecnacraft or even Sees rims that are rel vintage ones... By the way, could you tell me more about the Sees manufacturing (history, items they sold...) :?: I have a full page ad scan at home I wi...

Absolutely SICK! I want that body.

Looks awesome! I remember that chassis hanging on the wall at the hobby shop, and I even remember guys running it, but I can't remember who made it. At that time, there were only a few companies making graphite chassis at that point... Composit Craft, Houge, Raborn and A&L to name a few. I think...

Since joining this board, I was lucky enough to find a car on eBay that very closely resembles what I am trying to build. The main item I have been searching for was the foundation of the car—the chassis. The lucky part was that the car I bought also contained a lot of other great little bonuses. It...

In about 1987 or '88 or so, the aftermarket for RC10s was in top gear, and EVERYONE was churning out parts to "improve" the best off road car ever produced. Some of them really worked, most of them worked like styrofoam packing material glued to your car. All of them today are coveted by a...

hey apex I got some concrete shoes in your size.... 8) okay, but without the outdrives the seem pretty useless. Do you think there's any way thy could fit in the AE stealth tranny case? I would love to have that diff with my brushless setup. The Stealt is not bad at all, but this would prob. handle...

Hey, he's local!

I used to run these off road and dirt oval. They were AMAZING for the time, compared to the other diffs on the market. No diff ball slippage, and if you needed it, you could use the torque slipper to temper the power. I have always been a strong believer in that the best slipper clutch is your left ...

You mean these?


They've been just waiting for a NOS nylon diff case, idler gear and outdrives to be the ultimate diff... my favorite RC10 diff of all time.

Yup, they are Sees wheels. Technacraft were multi-piece wheels with gold centers. Still rare and expensive.

A sandblaster filled with microscopic glass beads instead of very abrasive sand. Not really your everyday hobbiest shop tool.

Just an FYI, from spending a good chunk of my formative years getting dirty in a machine shop, bead blasting opens up pores in the surface of the aluminum that make it difficult to polish. It's one of those "once you go there" methods that is difficult to regain an original appearance. I w...

I have removed the anodizing from four original shocks, and turned a machined finish back on them. I have rebuilt them as well with new seals and fresh oil. Could you tell us exactly how to obtain such a nice finish. What do you use to remove the anodizing? Brake fluid, thinner? EZ-Off oven cleaner...

I'll add another to the collection... the A&L belt drive called the Lethal Weapon. At least this one is not in rehab.
