QUESTION TO DARYL LANE

Is there any chance for us ( I mean trailarms fans) to see re-production for the A&L trailarms parts.
I think many guys want that conversion because it is simple the best of the trailarms version out there.

Each type of trailing arm had advantages and disadvantages and those disadvantages ultimately led to their demise in performance vehicles, in both the rc and real worlds. In a pure trailing arm suspension such as those from MIP or Bullet, the wheels did not change caster with suspension travel and resulted in a very low roll center that wasn't adjustable. This typically led to understeer. With a semi trailing arm suspension such as the A&L and Hogue arms, the roll centers were more predictable but due to the angle of the arms the wheels would change camber with suspension travel leading to oversteer. You tradeoff one problem for another. Neither was optimal. Technically speaking if a trailing arm type of suspension is desired, the "best" from a design standpoint would have to be the multilink suspension as used in the JRX2.

Hey Jerzi,

Daryl still has new old stock of the trailing arm kits for the tub chassis, he is out of the fiberglass chassis trailing kits. I just placed an order for one today. He also has available as new old stock fornt towers for the team car and 6 and 7 cell battery hold downs. He is planning on re-re-releasing items but I am not sure what.

Hi Jerzi
I am sorry I did not see this thread sooner

It will be easier for me to list what I do not have any more of asI have lots of parts still:

What I am out of:

A&L RC10 Graphite chassis'- so I am out of the conversion kits also. I do have everything else needed to rebuild a kit if you have one.

A&L Ultima Graphite chassis' - so I am out of the conversion kits also. I do have everything else needed to rebuild a kit if you have one.

A&L Optima mid Belt covers- I have everything else to package complete Graphite chassis or Fiberglass chassis conversion kits.

A&L RC10C2 Fiberglass chassis' so I cannot put together any of those kits.

I have trailing arms, mounts, hinge pins, screws.......

Daryl
