A-Main gas conversion help

Does anyone have a writeup on the old A-Main Racing (AMR) trucks as run by Kinwald, Lett, etc, pre RC10GT? I'm thinking 1991... My LHS guru recalls a RCCA writeup on Kinwald's truck.

Got two VERY different AMR trucks, both pre-GT, the only thing that's the same between them is the gearbox/rear brake.

Thanks for any input, if you could post any scans in the "scans" section it would be great! These pre-date my involvement in RC. :oops:

PS: Is it just me, or does EVERYONE have a TON of old Protech chargers and basic Futaba 2PB radios... :?: Not to mention the giant pile of chrome HPI truck wheels... :shock:

Gotta come up with something to do with 'em besides landfill. :?

Happy New Year to all! :D

Unfortunately I don't know. Could you look through 1992 & maybe 1993 in your spare time? I now think 1991 is too early, since the RC10T wasn't released until the fall of '91. :oops:

Thanks so much! :D

I bought it on eBay. :)

If it's not an AMain what is it?? :shock: The gearbox, brake, engine mounts are just like an AMain... and everything looks just like the new build in the top photo. The only difference I see is the gearbox on my chassis with the white top plate has the left side milled slightly, and the top corner is a little differently shaped. Plus the obvious difference in the gearbox support.

Do you mean the white top-plate truck is not an AMain?

What a mystery... :?

Any more help?
