Re: Vintage cars to race

I race a JRX-2 in Stock 2WD and a CF chassis LXT in Stock Truck. I do very well, winning my fair share of races. For the mod classes I run newer designs, XXX-T MF1 and a XXX-4.

A & L Scorcher - More Pics Added

Posting the first of my collection: An A & L based SCollins Scorcher sand rail!!! The nose plate was shortened, not the chassis plate, so don't freak out. The bumper has been replaced with a realistic basher bumper I made out of brass. Body is mounted with working tail lights.. A quick trip to t...

Re:
