Now that ive found the camera, pics of new stuff http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsnut/P1040582_zps7iagx12b.jpg The XXCR Kinwald now has new wheels, proper Losi ones, which i prefer over the old ones. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsnut/P1040580_zpsovlgxtqa.jpg The JRX2...

Well, it didnt take me long to find a 22 to buy, no sooner had i done the new year thing, i wandered onto ebay to find a new listing for a 22 vega.

Mine.

Happy new year everybody, now that ive looked at this thread, i dont know what to celebrate first!

having used rit dye ive found that using different ratios of dye and water gets different results, it can differ again depending on how long you dye it for, id recomend getting some and using some scrap parts if you have any to see what results you get.

Long time since an update, but a long time since i did anything! The latest round of tinkering was kickstarted by my boss. He bought in some old tatt from home, kids books and whatnot. I spotted a book the nephew would love so asked if i could have it, he said ''sure, i guess youve seen the car aswe...

sounds like a good idea to me, and only show the results at the end, so no one knows how many votes have been cast for any entrant until all votes are in.

Ive got afew coats of paint on now, unfortunaly I havnt got the ideal brush to do it with so ill get a decent one this weekend. That said its not too bad, i did 2 coats, flatted with 1200 wet and dry, 3 coats and ill flat it off once its dry and do another coat with the new brush. Im so determined t...

Ok, something happened. Whilst browsing ebay I stumbled across a badly listed item. You know, one of those that makes you think 'im gonna get this for cheaps'. So, regardless of the fact that ive got plenty of cars, i bid. And won it. For very very little 8) . The first one I bought is a Mk1, releas...

After having a closer look at the car its a bit butchered, its a mk1 chassis but the original motor mount has been swapped for a ministock one. Today I stripped the old broken upper chassis and fitted the nice new o/s one. I had to cut the original axle mount off but that was all. In the bag of bits...

thats brilliant! bet it rumbles something chronic!!! I had afew sound systems in the past, nices sounding was a 10in in sealed box, 12in in bandpass box, running alot of power, was loud enough to rattle my eyeballs so i can only wonder what that does too you! At the time I was in a bit of friendly c...

ha ha, glad im not alone. My first thorough restoration was the JRX2, bought one to start with, realised it needed alot of parts, bought a second one, and still needed more bits to make it as good and complete as id hoped so i bought a jrx pro. Thankfully the all had upgrades of some sort so the fin...

lol similer problem here, i tend to buy one example of a car, restore it, then look into what came before or after it (ie; bought losi xx, then jrxs, then losi xxx) .As a collecter it seems i cant help it, so what i can see happening here is, take this one back too original as possible with afew min...

Recently ive been restoring losi, i really like the history and the brand, but my RC racing started with Mardave banger racing. After a flash of inspiration in the shape of a toptrumps card i decided to get on ebay and see what i could find. 2 days later id won a Mardave Mk1 stockcar, it arrived tod...

cheers mate, I made a point of getting as many white bit as i could, the rod ends are genuine losi ones, and the shock socks wernt available in white in the uk and the only way i could get them was from Australia! As far as detail goes, when the back end was spun round to make it mid motored, along ...

well, more practice is clearly needed in the paint department, but on the bright side i have a new found, deeper respect for some of the incredible paint jobs on here, keep it up guys! I was going to start a new thread for my latest build, but i wasnt sure quite how vintage things had to be on here,...
