I am very familiar with those pictures... i have been drooling over them since the first day I signed up here... they are all over the net, by the way. I have a feeling my SQ will look a lot like that when done. As soon as I find a T-4, I will be complete. I am currently trying to find a battery jig...

Thanks for your opinion... Since these electronics will probably be in the car forever, and never taken out to be sold as "mint" again, it may be cooler to solder up and wire it up like it was going to be the car's first day at the track. Hopefully more people chime in! I don't want to scr...

I certainly am... Even though I am pretty good with an airbrush, I am having a pro paint it for me. The thought of screwing up the paint job on a NIP original body stresses me out just thinking about it....

Haven't had a chance to put the original spur gear on. That is how the car came from the original owner.

My JRX2 is ALMOST ready to be completed. I just received some of the innards that will be going in. All of them brand new in package. Looking at these things sitting here in their packages, it really seems like a shame to open them. It's almost like I need 3 of everything, 1 NIP, 1 new but opened an...

It also says "Tekin Electronics" on the wires

Thanks for the info! I found a NIP original s148... will work perfectly for the mint shelf queen

Ok , thanks! So i guess my question is, for my restore buggy, would a new one work for "period correct" electronics or no?

I am just curious as to what year this servo was first released? It was recommend as the servo to use to restore an old buggy from the 80s with period correct electronics, but I see that you can still buy this servo brand new today?... same servo? different servo? Any info anybody has I would like :...

I can tell you from years of racing Dirt Oval, that on a high bite track the mid motor will be dominant- but it does take a vastly different set-up approach than a rear motor in regards to front and rear toe, spring rates and roll centers. It can be made to change directions way faster than a rear ...

I just got my re-painted body back yesterday, need to post up some pics. Cpt...looks good, I've been hesitant to try the mid motor set up, unless I was running mod. I just dont want to loose any bit of an advantage running non-boosted 17.5. 4 gears = just a touch more drag (IMHO). The extra idler g...

Been racing my 22 in the mod class at my local track, and so far the car is pretty amazing...

ppssshsh.. that's all ?

Thanks guys... i guess ill just keep an eye on ebay. (0 there at the moment) I'm surprised you can't get them anymore from a normal retailer anywhere.
