A&L team car buggy

[JK Racing]

I may have a loaner available if ya show up empty handed. It will be all 'moderned' out though...brushless and lipo and all.

[Daryl Lane]

Very nice - best it has looked in years I my sure.....

[JK Racing]

Daryl, I'd love to pick you brain...the 2nd chassis (I just started cleaning it) has metric arms, what CVDs? Ultima?

Did the trailing arm rear end like softer or stiffer springs/shock pack then traditional cars?

With the advent of small, lightweight lipos, how do you think the cars will react with a much lighter running weight?

We can save the smooth clay high bite supercross sized jump track conditions for a different discussion.

Also, what body is on this car? I can only assume one of yours, but I am not very familiar with it.

Another dumb question, was there any difference in the blue trans over the pink trans? I see this car has a wrap around alloy motor plate, versus the common graphite plate I have. Home grown or ?

[JK Racing]

Got all my parts cleaned up, got a body painted. Still need to get the little pieces left I need for the shocks & universals. Then its build time.

[JK Racing]

Turned some wrenches, trimmed and drilled a bunch of nylon/delrin pieces and did quite a bit of test fitting....

[GoMachV]

Sweet!

[JK Racing]

Man, my angles are looking really weird from the phone pictures car isnt out of whack like it appears in those pics. Other problem, this thing weighs next to nothing...perfect for a 17.5 stock car, if I can figure out suspension settings that will work with how light it is. Guess I can always just use a full size lipo pack instead of a shorty.

[Mr. ED]

A sheet of lead under the shorty.
Looks like LRP has seen my projects with the low-profile shorty from yokomo. They've added some to their rage and market them as LCG's (low center of gravity).
Copy-cats

So, extra thick sheet of lead or lead aorund an LCG shorty for an ultra low CG!

[mk-Zero]

Lookin' good Joey!

[vintage AE]

I always liked the A&L cars, this one is looking really nice!

Looking forward to seeing it finished .

[JK Racing]

as much as it pained me, the vintage A&L Pro SE Concept body got scissors onto it...

[vintage AE]

The curve on the ass end of that body matches the trailing arm curves pretty good from that angle... liken the curvature on that car

[JK Racing]

Its officially a roller....took off the Kyosho shocks and put on some Academy (with purple bits on them).



The front end is a great hodge podge of parts that all seem to mesh well



RPM RC10 one piece bulkhead - cut into 2 and narrowed severely
RPM B2 carpet front arms
B3 carriers
Early CE knuckles
Custom cut front tower (S&K/Andy's pro tower, but stretched for modern sized shocks)

[RichieRich]

Wow, Joey, this looks fantastic. The academy shocks match well, plus, I think they are underrated.
