RichieRich's A&L
Hey guys here's a quick pic (in poor lighting ) of the current status. The front tires are temps. They are Traxxas ribs that are simply GIGANTIC and look silly. There's a stealth transmission bolted on there too along with MIP CVDs

Oops! I guess this should go in the Reader's Rides forum, not the non-rc10 vintage section. Anyways, here's some more pics.

I like it I wasn't sure if the MIP shafts would fit in the hubs with them being a little larger than UJs are there any clearance issues Are you intending to run it, is that the reason for the stealth

Yeah, the MIP shafts fit. The key is to not leave any flashing on the shock ends. If you do, they could rub on the large end of the MIP joint. It looks like they should work well. Yes, I intend to run it. I don't plan on entering any races with it though. The reason for the stealth is because I had the parts and I didn't feel like getting into a bidding war for an MIP tranny. All I needed was a motor plate which Asa helped me out with.FERRETTI wrote:I like it I wasn't sure if the MIP shafts would fit in the hubs with them being a little larger than UJs are there any clearance issues Are you intending to run it, is that the reason for the stealth
EDIT: Hey mods, can this be moved to the correct forum? I totally spazzed on where to put the thread.

Re: RichieRich's A&L
Ok, here are the latest pics. I do have a wing but I need to pick up some wire to properly mount the it to the A&L parts. I still need to smooth out a few rough edges with the dremel. For example, the notches I cut to clear the trailing arms need to be rounded off. I don't want a tear there. It's hard to paint without an overspray film. It's been a while since I've done that.
If you're wondering why there are red o-rings on the tops of the rear shocks, ask my 3 year old daughter. She put them there.

Re: RichieRich's A&L
Nice work richie, i have been busy setting my a&l up with a standard shock tower. it's nice to see that it works well.

Re: RichieRich's A&L
Yeah, it works nice. Don't forget, you'll have to use the 1.18 shock bodies with the 1.02 shafts. The 1.32 bodies are too long to use with the shorter stock tower.

Re: RichieRich's A&L
Very nice bro. I love the o-rings! If you need some music wire, I have about three feet of it sitting around.

No, I will not help you with your dorky short course truck…sorry, it’s against my religion. If it's not a 1/10 scale buggy...I don't care.
