Car looks wonderful as well!
Thanks. I got them from someone. They are photocopies of an original label. Just had to cut them out and glue them on. The cells were new LRP 1700 scrc's.

Thanks. And thanks for helping to get it to this point over the last year and a half. It's nice knowing that it's damn close to the original.
Wow I can't believe your using a brushed motor and dangerous cadmium batteries in that replica!
Hehe
Looks awesome Jason!
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Thanks to Aaron, I got the RCPS sticker needed for the servo (and the body actually). So, the chassis is completely finished. Now I just need time (and ambition) to get the body trimmed and painted.
Got the body trimmed and mounted, and applied the stickers that I had for it. Still have 5-6 to get. I also have to pick up some wire to bend up for the wing. The rere pre-bent wire is too short to put the wing where I need it. So the wing is just taped on for now.
I was texting back and forth with Brad this past Thursday morning. I mentioned that I was planning on taking the replica along for the concourse at the Vonats but that I wish I had the missing stickers to complete it. So he dug deep through his stash and managed to come up with what I was missing and overnighted them to the racetrack so they would be there the following afternoon.
So Friday night at the hotel I put the stickers on. I still have to cut the scoop open, but didn't want to get into that during the race weekend.
Brad's original
And my replica
The car also won "Most Authentic" at the concourse event at the Vonats which was pretty cool.
i've wanted one of these freakin' things since they came out. when i started racing in '91, i had to get a junior-t since that was what i could afford at that time. it worked out for the best though, since i mopped the floor with every 5 link jrxt i...

Very cool to end up with that sticker, amazing how things do end up. Looks great on there.
I picked up an almost RTR Worlds car a few weeks before Christmas. This one is going to become a modernized replica of Masami's rc10 he used to win the '94 Florida Winterchamps.
This car came about as when i bought the Futaba sticker sheet for the 'power under pressure ' sticker (see roof) for my Yokomo project i received two so needed another project :wink: Anyways here it is never...

Love it! When I built my replica, I came to appreciate all the details it takes to get it right.
Did you have the shock caps hard anodized? That was one part that I had to approximate, olive drab tamiya paint was the closest I could get.
Huge shoutout to Larry Doe for all of this help in making this replica as accurate as possible. Still need to add the IFMAR tech decals, number plate and chassis protector but she's 99% of the way there.
