A-Main Racing Co. Bullet (FWD/4WS RC10)

[Phin]

All credit goes to Gomachv for this super find. After having the smarts to link A-Main's address from the RCCA ad to an old hobby shop in Oregon Gomachv actually managed to find a local racer who ran the Bullet at a ROAR event and still had the manual.

...and the rest.

Don't forget- its bit just fwd but also 4ws likely with very little rear steer. Probably kept it from pushing quite as bad

The last pic is of a brass rod that they apparently would cut and make slugs to install in place of diff balls. I guess they liked their diffs locked. Hmm.

Doh...how'd I forget the four wheel steering bit.


I think your racer friend wrote in his email that they were brass slugs, which got me thinking that they may have been used to let the wheels independently slip a bit. I've mentioned it a few times before that I've wanted to try the same thing on a 6-gear with Traxxas friction pegs.

I think friction pegs would be a great thing to try. I read his email at 2am so its still a blur. Your right about the brass and it makes more sense lol

Mr. Graphite seems like a cool guy.
