Finished A&L project

Post by ra272 »

hello, here is my "custom" A&L RC10. I made some of the parts (front and rear shock struts, tranny plate, motor guard) because I don't want any black part on it.

I put a protech body on it because it has a high roof (A&L rear shock tower is very long).

Hope you like it :wink:

That's a real nice job ra272 8) , it's almost the polar opposite to my all black version, you're going to have to do something about those nasty black tyres though :wink: :lol:

Man, That thing looks nice. You could always use a sharpie to color your tires. I know a few guys on here are masters with a sharpie :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know what I am doing with all my scratches up shocks now.

i think my dentist bought his equipment at a german garage sale in the mid 1940's lol. i always look at his dremel bits and am like "damn i need that one to trim the edge of my chassis lol, looks like it would do the job" haha.. when his machine spins up it sounds like a jet engine winding up for take-off lol, cheap bastard lol. does a good job at least.
