Nice collection. Now your next challenge is to do something different from box-art. ;)

I agree, a Javelin re-re would be cool, especially with various colors of rollcage. I'd love to build a blue one...I'm thinking with blue & gold anodized alloy parts. That would look good on my shelf. :)

Blue roll-cage?! would be interesting if it really comes out.

The original roll-cage doesn't fit re-re chassis perfectly. I have to come up with a idea to solve it.
I really like the CFRP radio plate, making the car looks even better.

That battery holder, upper and lower trays look awesome! :D
How is it handling with the mid-motor conversion?

looks like he took it out for the video testing.

I had made a lexan body pan with a similar idea behind it for the Javelin awhile back since it was gonna be a runner. Didn't turn out as nice as that but it served its purpose. My LHS owner asked what the hell that was for and laughed. I asked if he could get me the parts when I junked it out with piece of gravel from his track and then I laughed. :mrgreen:

Looks pretty cool all in white like that with your parts you got made 8)

Thanks for your comment.
And as for the handling, I think it needs a properly setup.

Mr. ED

The rear motor is taken out when I run the car, and is mounted while not running.

The rear end without rear motor plate looks like this.
