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 the chromer and it will be finished. Front tires will be replaced with a sand blade from Pro-Line.

Fantastic paint and chassis work! There was an ebay auction last week where someone had the same idea but couldn't pull it off. They actually intended to use a scorcher front end. I like the execution on your version more.
Some body-on and detail pics (w/o battery so the car is up a bit). The Wheelbase is 9 3/4". Bumper and wheelie bar will be chromed.

Front body mount detail. It is the RPM mount for the RC10T mounted to the shock tower with the tabs under slung. Pop the mounts on and you're done. Might want to double up on the shock tower...

2nd Profile. Notice the "Box Art" paint, the blue line should be through the door handle, not the body crease above.

13 Double motor and a Tempest Max ESC with working taillights on the body. It's actually a prop for an independent film I'm working on. Other props will be a pair of custom Tamiya HumVees and a Fast Attack Vehicle.
Bump, I didn’t realize that Bob had pics of the build here. The movie is out now, and the car looks terrific in it!

I was waiting for a Dominator to end yesterday, but I felt the reserve was going to be over my head so I was looking at monster trucks and found this E-Savage that looks real clean. A few little extras too which was a nice bonus. $230 shipped seemed...

Painted up a new shell for this since the one it came with was butt ugly and made it look too much like a toy(which I guess it is). I’m not a fan of painted wheels, but the purple just didn’t cut it. I used high temp grill paint for a real flat...

Lowes and home depot shelves :mrgreen: flip them over and get creative on the hangers. They are hinged so they can be flipped up out of the way but not sure why I would need to. Just worked that way.
