A-Main gas conversion help
Does anyone have a writeup on the old A-Main Racing (AMR) trucks as run by Kinwald, Lett, etc, pre RC10GT? I'm thinking 1991... My LHS guru recalls a RCCA writeup on Kinwald's truck.
Got two VERY different AMR trucks, both pre-GT, the only thing that's the same between them is the gearbox/rear brake.
Thanks for any input, if you could post any scans in the "scans" section it would be great! These pre-date my involvement in RC.

PS: Is it just me, or does EVERYONE have a TON of old Protech chargers and basic Futaba 2PB radios... Not to mention the giant pile of chrome HPI truck wheels...
Gotta come up with something to do with 'em besides landfill.
Happy New Year to all!

I bought it on eBay.rubicon20032003 wrote:Thats my old truck I sold on ebay with the purple arms. I bought it ? I have the box around somewhere with racers name in it > I bought at the nationals.Its not a amain truck .I have a nib a main conversion still
If it's not an AMain what is it?? The gearbox, brake, engine mounts are just like an AMain... and everything looks just like the new build in the top photo. The only difference I see is the gearbox on my chassis with the white top plate has the left side milled slightly, and the top corner is a little differently shaped. Plus the obvious difference in the gearbox support.
Do you mean the white top-plate truck is not an AMain?
What a mystery...
Any more help?

- Notice how the gearbox support is longer than the others.
