During a long time I don't know what to do with my Andy's chassis ! But today I answering at this question









What do you think

I think it's awesome. Rotate that motor another 180° so we can see that beautiful Reedy label, too.

Very nice. What's better the Andy's trailing arms or A&L? I really like this version.

Wow, that looks pretty awesome dude. I've gotta get me a hyper drive. Can't wait to see this built up.

Cool Cedric,
You found a way to put the the moterplate on the other side.
If you look at the ad for hyperdrive in the scan section here , you see it onthe standard side: making you need to run the moter backward

Who made this moterplate then?


I'm thinking of foing the same hyperdrive thing as you know.
But I'm not gonna put the moterplate on the other side: I'm gonna rotate the gearbox around so it becomes a midmoter setup

i dont think one is better than the other in regards to quality. andys are plastic and the a&l are alloy, so its more of what you prefer.

about 2 years ago daryl lane of a&l/factory works was selling off his old stock on ebay. he had quite a few of the trailing arm kits for sale in fiberglass & graphite, he also had some of his personal custom trailing arms he made. some were custom lightened,polished aluminum,magnesium,and delrin all in one lot. man talk about a deal daryl was a wizz with that custom stuff. he even had a custom streched 6 wheel rc-10 truck he built. it had a dual trailing arm setup for the 4 rear tires with dual lethal weapon trannies that thing was awesome! i think he used it for truck pulling or something.

I 'discovered ebay' at the tale end of that and only managed to get a graphite chassis, I keep meaning to email him about a graphite chassis as it'd be way cooler imho.

Oh any pics of the 6 wheel truck?

Back to the thread though, I didn't realise you had to run the motor backwards but now you mention it it becomes plainly obvious. Lol. Very cool.
