Sweet

[jwscab]

did you win those? If you did, you have to make me a set. I was bidding against you.

[GoMachV]

No problem
Course ill have to charge you the difference you cost me bidding j/k haha

I have been looking for alternative rear towers for a few of my cars. I like the front design too- somewhat worlds looking but not worlds which everyone has.

I'm assuming this set of towers is around '92ish

[jwscab]

what is JUST as funny is that if I won them, I was going to offer them to you anyway to use as templates before I ever installed them on a project So I guess we are almost even, hahahhah

Yeah they're part of the later towers A&L sold under the Factory Works brand. Still need to find you an early A&L front tower for 1.02" shocks...or a Jay Halsey one.

I was watching those too. But missed out on bidding by a few minutes. Been looking for a front one for a while

[hugger19]

Are these A&L?

um i am going to say no the rear tower is a factory works tower. i have one on my rc10 and bought it new in package.

Can you guys tell me who made these 2-bolt 12th hubs? They're just plain cool and I'm dying to know HPI or Tecnacraft Maybe? Thanks in advance

OK, you know-it-alls who can't be stumped, what's this one? Even the seller doesn't know. It looks like a Scorpion had a threesome with a Marui Hunter and an AYK 566B... homebuilt? Or some long-forgotten flop?

Saw that earlier! Looks like a Kyosho Scorpion had a crazy black out drunken night with a few other kits, and 9 months later we got this buggy.

Or else someone was playing God! Spitting in the face of nature!

A Mantua Ténéré Speed it is, 1987:ish

But as it says on the body it's probably a Garbo product.
Maybe someone can tell the seller that.
I do not have an Ebay account U C.

[scootmike]

Anybody recognize this body?
