another black tub

[scr8p]

i picked up this tub on ebay last year for $8.00. it's brand new, never used, but it looks like it was built at one time. it has a couple little knicks from removing the electrics, but not bad. they also drilled an extra servo mount hole, too.

so, i added a nip noseplate, rpm arms, factory works front and rear shock towers, and an a&l chassis stiffener/battery hold down setup. here's where it's at so far.......................

nice job, one thing i might of done would have been to take the the top layer of paint off the frame all around like your shock towers, then i think that thing would be perfect !

just an idea.

i love factory works stuff, daryl's parts are top notch. i havent seen any of his buggy towers in years, awesome ride. the one part he made under the a&l name you dont see used anywhere are the old monster truck conversion wheels he used to make. these wheels were offest to widen a buggy to run truck tires. i currently run them on my oval truck conversion on the right side only with standard wheels on the left. this gives me about 3/8" more offset to the tires and boosts the left side weight. i didnt race dirt oval go-karts for 6 years and not pick up on a few things. yes guys i scale my r/c rides like a big car. people look at you funny when you whip out 4 postal scales at the track and then they accuse you of cheating when you put 2 laps on the feild.we cant run buggy arms on the left and truck arms on the right but they never say anything about the wheels.

WAOW!! I've always been searching for those A&L chassis stiffeners, they are GREAT, but so rare nice project, I also like the shock towers... do you know who made them? Cheers Jason, hope you're doing well in the Saloon with your brushed alpaca waiting outside

Super sweet chassis mate those a&l parts really make it stand out.

I also like the shock towers... do you know who made them?

factory works front and rear shock towers

thanks guys.

when the 2 guys of a&l split, the "L", daryl lane, formed factory works. that's my understanding of it anyway. so, the parts are from the same guy, just a different company name. now i just need to find an a&l bellcrank. or, maybe i'll just steal the one i have out of my tekin car.

[scr8p]

it was torn down and parted out a couple years ago. just another one of many builds that i started and never finished......

[vintage88]

aw that sucks do u have a link to whatever you put the braces on??? i love those and might make my own...

[scr8p]

i don't remember who ended up with the a&l chassis braces. but the shock towers made the trip to belgium..... http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9235

they also drilled an extra servo mount hole, too.

i cant stand that but it could be worse.. i have a chassis thats almost perfect.. someone drilled a hole like 1/16 of an inch away from the stock servo hole.. drives me nuts...
oh and real nice project
