Hey Daryl,
I've got an A&L chassis that I like to pull out when the track (backyard, old school loam) gets rough. I noticed that the arms position the axles a bit further back than my other RC10's which I run in short wheelbase position. I have started a project with the transmission mounted further back in order to get the drive shafts straight with each other, and i wondered if you had done any testing with this back in the day and what your impressions were.
Thanks!
We have and you do not want the dog bones straight/inline or going from the wheels back to the tranny. They need to go from the wheels forward to the tranny, this is part of the anti squat in a trailing arm suspension. You will loss forward bite and straight forward motion under power, rear of car will slide to one side or the other. We worked a lot on this building and racing before releasing any of the kits. May look odd but it is needed.
Well... oops. I should have asked before I drilled for the stealth. When I drive it finally and it sucks, maybe I'll look at the lethal weapon upgrade. It looks from the instructions like it won't interfere with my stealth holes. Thanks for the insight Daryl!
You guys ran a hand built prototype car at the '91 ROAR Nats which had a double decker carbon fiber chassis, LW tranny and a serious suspension set up. Whatever happened with this car and why didn't it make it to production?
Hi Justin
Chris has that car and I have a box of spare parts to make another one with. It never made it to production because of $$$$$. We just did not have enough to do it.
Chris and I were both racers that liked to make our own parts - I do not think either of us ever raced box stock car or modified cars with just off the shelf hop-ups. Making our own parts in the garage was our commune thread and why we got together to start A&L.

If you have the recipe, we can come up with the ingredients! Let's do it!
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
JUst looked at the page. Seams a ton of the g-10 black fiberglass parts coming back in stock. All re release, or old inventory, IE gold pan chassis brace. Great still has normal price. Not an Ebay price. shocks towers and other parts that i didnt see there before.
The Chassis stiffener brace is a re-release from about two years ago now. You can till between the original and re-released on by the chassis rails, new ones only have three slots in them and the original ones have four.
I re-did the web site two weeks or so ago, I have had lots of old stock that I never posted. I am going through the boxes and adding parts and pictures as I find them and instructions. I have parts in boxes that I forgot what they fit, but I found another catalog filed away that lists a lot of them.
Some of the towers are old school Graphite, unwoven mate black parts.
Is there any chance for us ( I mean trailarms fans) to see re-production for the A&L trailarms parts.
I think many guys want that conversion because it is simple the best of the trailarms version out there.

Hi Jerzi
I am sorry I did not see this thread sooner
It will be easier for me to list what I do not have any more of asI have lots of parts still:
What I am out of:
A&L RC10 Graphite chassis' - so I am out of the conversion kits also. I do have...
The last time I was into R/C was about 12-15 years ago and even then RTR's were a minority and kits were the majority. IMO, building them is half the fun! It build and improves mechanical skills and finger dexterity as well as the ability to follow...

People are lazy and want quick gratification! I work at a hobby shop and these guys come in with a broken suspension arm and say fix my truck, you sold it to me! They are ignorant, rude, lazy, lack any form of intelligence, have no mechanical...
I have released a front suspension kit for the RC28, SC28, MT28, RC28T, and other 1:28 scale cars and trucks. It's a direct bolt-on kit that replaces the lame living hinge front end on these cars with genuine suspension. The kit makes the cars...

So, you stay up late and fall asleep, forgetting to bid on ebay and miss the killer deal. :?
You find a load of parts and just as the deal is about to go through the seller stops emailing. :x
You just cannot quite afford the price even though...

I dunno if that's a typo Terry, but I never put it on ebay, I was interested in buying it and asked for your guy's opinion. I got a valuation from you all (cheers :) )and struck up a deal with the seller which eventually didn't go through, can't...
Since some time I have interest (again) in 1/8 onroad cars and also collect a few of them and 1/8 stuff as mufflers, bodies etc.
I know I´m not the only one here having 1/8 cars and interest in this but finding informations seems a little difficult...
