Thanks prp

Regarding the servo saver; I'm aware of the "locked" stock servo saver rig, but he used a servo saver mounted directly on the servo, and it's this one I'm wondering what make it is.

The servo saver is a Kimbrough, cut on 1 side.

Believe so, think I've seen him on the podium at some Nitro on road races on RedRC. 1/8 maybe???
Think he is also President of Kyosho America.

Edit: Did a quick search, I guess winning a ROAR title a couple of years ago counts as a podium. :wink:...

compatibility among all the old towers is good, they will bolt right up. The PAP have by far the most adjustability.

I've found plenty on his 1987 World's car but can't find anything on the car here he used in 1989. Is there a thread or info?

I clearly see Losi wheels, custom shock towers, looks like custom A-arms, not sure if those are Triumph or Pro XL etc..?...

GFK is glass fibre plate

RCH is a 3.rd party hop-up company.

Curious what you mean by RCH is a 3rd party hop up company?

He means a company that makes or made aftermarket parts ie rpm factory works etc

hello Erik,

The only picture I have is the one that's from the website (rear of the car). That's the car he used in the 89 off road nationals. The picture was published in the December 89 issue of RCCA.
