That looks really good! Thanks! 8) Now with a XX CR body I painted back in the day (a bit poorly - I must have touched up some spots after removing the window masks and dusted the windows a bit). The XX body sides are a bit short for the Pro SE chassis, so I may decide to swap to an SE body. Anyway...

I used an Ultrahive decal to create a replica Jr's Choice motor from a 16x2 motor of unknown origin. It looks decent next to the real deal in my Jrx Pro. 20250420_150400.jpg Trimmed and painted a rough motor plate. Added a hydradrive. Color combo is a bit Ronald McDonald. 20250422_155100.jpg 2025042...

I have a set of Trinity Point Blank wheels and tires from way back. The rear tires are in good shape, but the fronts were dry rotted. While searching for replacement front tires, I stumbled upon some Amark wheels and tires that looked very similar to the Point Blanks. It turns out, they are the same...

Rear coming together with XX retro in 2.6 ratio mocked up to check dogbone lengths.

Even though this will be a shelfer, I had to tweak the axle placement with shims to shift the bones inboard a bit.

Oooh. Very nice!

I actually have a jr2 chassis with the sides cut in my pile of spares. Kinda wish i caught tou before you shaved the sides on yours lol. Thanks for the offer. I have a few more Jr2s including a NIP in the stash, so it was a bit relaxing to cut on this one. The bottom is pretty nice, however, so not...

Inspiration for the thread title.

Approximated the original gear cover with the decals I had handy. 20250404_164114.jpg Mounted up. 20250404_165215.jpg Tires cleaned up and mounted. X-patterns and stagger ribs, my favorite. 20250404_170957.jpg And finally, the wing is done. I'll get some shots in the sun. Gotta do it for Dale. 20250...

Just winging it...

Looking really good. That motor plate looks to have a slight bend in it when looking from the rear. You should be able to bend it back straight pretty easily. I'll break out the dead blow hammer and persuade it back in line. :mrgreen: Fresh off the mail truck, revision b. I think I like it. 2025033...

The superstars look better than I though... the chrome ones at money- I'm kinda liking the chrome, too. The black super stars look the best. But that's just my opinion, and those are like belly buttons.... Appreciate the comment. I'm not a huge fan of dish wheels on old Losi buggies. I grabbed some...

Rear HPI white stars fresh off the mail truck. Hmmm... 20250326_190958.jpg Some beat chrome prolines for mockup. 20250326_191111.jpg Beat white prolines. These may be what I had on the buggy originally. 20250326_191419.jpg I have another set of wheels coming this weekend that will be considered befo...

I have natural logo fronts, but not rears. Any I find are a bit pricey for this project. I have another wheel set inbound that may work. My color choice back in the day is cramping my style these days.

Turnbuckles finished up.

Wheel mockup. I'm not sold on this combo...
