Wow, tight race! Great builds this month... honored to be competing with some heavyweights here

Cool build... gonna look very nice with all the blue accents! Looking forward to seeing it come together

Highly RPM'ed out Losi JRX2 with box art variation.

Is there any good sources for these out there (Currently building a T4, but also a few older models like an RC10T and a vinta...

Very nice!

Great build! Would love to see some video of it ripping up the track!

Apologies if this has been discussed, search didn't warrant much relevant.... what is the consensus on filling shocks for a shelf car? I have a build in mind with vintage unassembled shocks, and I'm thinking to just use a little bit of shock oil during assembly just to lubricate the o-rings, but not...

Hey guys,
