Great tip Reg! Also, if you make the hole a little larger just use some CA glue on the threads when you go to install the new ballstud.

If you say it looks like a Bel-Air windshield it could be a Impala front glass. Pictures and measurements will definitely help though.

I've had it masked and prepped for over a year now but finally painted it today! My RC10T that in my opinion is a beast finally got a painted shell today. My 4 year old son is now the proud new owner of this fine machine and extremely proud of the body, he picked the colors. He went to bed early thi...

I agree with what Reggie said. Besides, putting 1 1/2 horsepower through a vintage A&L gearbox is kind of crazy .

I agree. Stuff being cheap now is really good for newcomers, sticker shock isn't as bad. That's what use to make this a "hobby" way back when was the initial cost IMO.

Yeah, I just don't dig that extra long tower on the front .

EvilAsh - Do you have any measurements of your shock tower? Maybe a picture of it next to a stock one?


Thanks guys!

Okay, made a little more progress but was busy today. Doing test fitting right now and everything is working out good except I don't have a front tower yet :roll:. After everything is fabricated, fitted, and tweaked then the nose, motorplate, and a few misc. items will be painted. Going to use some ...

TZona - Thanks!

shirochanwrx - The kydex rear bumper came like that with the kit. The rear geometry was done this way to optimize the suspension for rough tracks.

Due to how my life under went a major change things went quiet but not dead with regard to this. I should have some news for all who are interested sometime this coming week .

I for one have no problem with it being belt drive, very cool! The one thing I know of outside of RC that a belt drive sucks is a full size 4X4 transfer case ...

I love it when my dogs chase my RC's. Our previous dogs which were a Bulldog and full blooded Rottweiler loved to go after them. The only problem was my rotty "Oulage" could just about put a whole 1/10 scale buggy in his mouth .

Good looking dogs you have there mrlexan!

A cool find from today while looking for a screw for my A&L build.

Thanks guys! :D I made a little more progress this evening. Finished the motorplate enough for test fit and also trimmed a rear bulkhead. I never thought a nylon bulkhead could be so tedious of a task. I was thinking, "cut-off wheel on dremel, wham-bam-thank-you mam!" but not quite so cut ...

I fully retract my earlier statement , this thing looks really good!

Brake fluid will clean but it also makes the lexan brittle.
