Looks great with those wheels. I like the body shell too. What is the shell?

Sweet build.
Great shell whoever makes it!! most of all becuz its a Chevy! nice color and emblem.
Nice wheels and tires.

Don't beat it....cruise pavement maybe.
Glad to be back in this hobby so many many years later. To see new things and to recollect on ALL cool vintage models!

Yeah i kinda dig itni wish i knew what shell it waa my buddy bought because i dont think he used lexan paint and the paint is popping off in a few spots.... Its not quite finished yet i have a set of rpm rear links coming i already got my new battery hold down since the pics were takin i am polishing the wheels i got 2 about done and my fingers are completly done lol i need to still find a gear cover a new set of ball bearing bell cranks and a diffrent esc that will run that 13 turn motor... But as with any project it will lrobly never be done im sure i will keep finding new or neet stuff to add to it or replace parts.... And i might put the old wheels and tires on it and run it around on the street but no it will never be raced or bashed its gonna primarrily a shelf queen

I'm usually not a fan of resto's not looking like stock. But something about this is way cool. I really like the wide tires, and the pearl white Chev body. Reminds me of my old Monster Beetle. I ran some Pro-Lines like those (I think they're called Strikers?) on an old indoor carpet track when I first got into RC YEARS ago... :D

Yeah i dig original restos too but i hate the original jrxt body personally i think its terrable looking and the one i have is beat and i got those wheels and tires for a song cheaper than i could find original plastic wheels and old school tires and i at least kept it to an 80's s10 body and period correct wheels and tires although they arent losi parts they were still sold around the same time.... And yes they do polish up very nicely its just my figers dont like making them shine im on a rest for a day or two lol
