Looks like an A-Main Racing hard aluminum top shaft.

Shocks are assembled. I filled them with vintage AE 30wt silicone oil and used RCPS green slime on the shock parts. I made sure to wrap a couple of pieces of gorilla tape around my needle nose pliers to prevent marring the bottom of the shaft. OCD kicked in and made me order two packs of vintage AE ...

Hate to be that guy but..... Screenshot_20230928_143901_Firefox.jpg Otherwise it's looking great! :mrgreen: Yea, but the tape isn't part of the build. Otherwise the new production paper towels & WD40 I am using to clean up items would not be appropriate either. My ocd is not quite that bad. :mr...

This link is legit and has all of the 1986-2005 pdf's. Get it while you can.

I really like this build. Lots of awesome hopups.

The AE shock mount screws arrived, so I will finish mounting the shocks later today. I also picked up a set of CC low profile servo mounts. These might have originally been a pan car part, but I have several sets in my pit box from bitd and used them on my buggy.

Added translucent RPM 7031 Up-travel limiters to the rear and Bud's wing mounts. I used a small JG shock shaft spacer on the lower rear rod end since it has the pivot ball. At least it's a slider now.

Not all motors required a Schottky unless it was mentioned in your esc manual. The caps (not diodes) were typically .1 uF ceramic disc and you used two. Some esc's wanted you to use 3. Some kits had an electrolytic or tantalum cap.

Thank you. It's been a real treat to source the parts and build it up. I was torn on what wheels to use, but I knew in 1994 the majority of competitive racers were using 2.2 rears. As much as I wanted to use my HPI Super Stars the rear are 2.0 :( I decided to use TQ 2.175 rears with Pro-84 Y design,...

Are you wrenching on this one still? My interest is piqued.

I really like those Yok wheels. Would you mind sharing the p/n's?

I had always assumed AE just copied Composite Craft's bellcrank design and modified the post to be on top instead of the bottom for the 6037 Worlds Car. However I never knew it was primarily due to Kinwald using the CC bellcranks at the 1993 IFMAR Worlds. I'm still not sure why the front Wide-Fives ...

Electronics have been selected.

• Big Jim mod is a '94 Kinwald teardown that is new but no packaging

• Tekin G12 esc ('94)

• Tekin TFM 75MHz Rx ('92)

• Orion V-Max 1700 SCRC cells ('94)

• Futaba 9101 coreless ball bearing servo ('90?)

It turns out that the Orion battery is actually a RC-1700 (late '97) pack and not SCRC. Fortunately I had a spare pack of Trinity EXR178 Ex-Tech cells. CC-RPM-Worlds24 (Large).jpg CC-RPM-Worlds26 (Large).jpg I was able to get the Futaba 9101 servo mounted up. For the small Kimbrough saver I had to u...
