Finished A&L project
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

Re: Finished A&L project
That's a real nice job ra272 , 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
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

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

If I ever see a dentist coming at me with a dremel and a cutting wheel, I am running like hell

Re: Finished A&L project
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.
