My Jammin’ RC10

[city.life]

I'm not sure where this build is going exactly, however, I do want it to look like a Jammin’ Jay car. Most likely not a replica, but we’ll see. Thanks to all the other the Jammin’ Jay threads with great information!

The parts:

Great project! Your paint job came out nice too.

Nice car, needs a smaller wing I think?

I need to get off my ass and do my Jammin build! I just need to find the time. I have to many projects on the go and now the weather is too nice to be inside!

Racer's replica are my favorite.
good job!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I’m going to try a smaller wing before applying the decals. Possible a homemade wing. Actually, I like the appearance of the big wing although it's probably not correct for off-road racing.

I do have some questions for the Halsey experts:

- What type of battery pack replacement should I be searching for? (The yellow kind)
- Is the black shock tower on Halsey’s car a known brand? Currently I’m using a "vintage" Andy’s show tower

You can use any stick battery you want, just put yellow shrink wrap on it.

The front tower is a stock tower that was dyed black.

Test driving a new, smaller wing

Nice. What glue did you use to hold the sides on the wing?

[city.life]

I used Zap Poly-Zap. It's strong and bonds pretty quickly

Wing attempt #3. Improved end pieces and added slight curve to wing.

This car is looking better and better each time you touch it. I think this is part of the fun. Doing little changes to make it better, this can take years though. Ruffy and scr8p have some of the best Jammin replicas you can take notes from http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=15510 I have this bookmarked for one I hope to do some day.
