argh pants. Not often im eligable as all mine are losi. Shame as im spraying my latest as i type. Back out to the garage i guess.

cheers dude. If all goes well this weekend illget some more bits painted, infact ive already done an undertray for this but forgot to put a pic up. Ive been experementing a bit more with masking and fading.

thanks, its taken a while to say that but since i bought the body other stuff got in the way and it came to a halt. Got the mojo back to carry on with it when I happened across the wheels id been looking for, to match the fronts that i got for a steal when i first started the project. Once the wheel...

Recently got the car looking more like a car http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsnut/P1040236_zpsdaqsxcoe.jpg Jrx pro body, Jrx pro SE gear cover, TBG highdownforce wing and untertray. Total coincidence that the ribs in the wing match up with the wing wire. Fits on it really well http://...

Got a bit more done, trans includes all new bearings in aluminium gear set and slipper that came with one of the cars also with new bearings. In a box of bits i found half of a new white drive shaft set so i fitted that too. Body is now on order, cant wait till it arrives so i can finnish it off, it...

ok cheers for that, that was almost my choice! Ill probably go for the jrx pro, keep it simple.

Once i had most of the car back together it chassis plate irritated me as it was the only thing letting it down. I had plans to paint it, but my mate bought some vinyl so it was only fair that i borrowed some. Dont know why i didnt think of it before http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsn...

Ive got a set i need to do aswell. The idea ive had is to superglue it, drill the hole out slightly so that the thread is effectivly stripped, and use slightly longer bolts with nuts on the back. hope that helps you.

thanks for the comments, I do like a detail build, even the details that cant be seen still matter! Ive been sat indoors toady with the after effects of whiplash, so ive continued the nut and bold detailing. No pics yet, but I think ive overdone it.

Thought id see if i had enough of the right size screws and anodized nuts to do this. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsnut/P1040181_zps0h9boqvi.jpg Turns out i had just enough http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsnut/P1040182_zpshe0j5wmj.jpg And polished the terribly scratc...

The rust treatment I use is Hammerite rust treatment gel. I originaly bought it to get some rust off a mates bike he was restoring, and ive got to say its the best stuff ive used. Brush it on, leave it for 20 mins, brust it again and watch the rust basicly disolve, put more on if nessasary, and repe...

Got it back onto 4 wheels last night. Once it was back together i was amazed how little movement there was anywhere, there is next to no slack in the steering or suspention, something im very happy with. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u320/classicsnut/P1040136_zps7ij8eseg.jpg The 5 link rear is ...

very nice build youve got going on there, ive got an xxcr kinwald i restored, i stripped the blue off the alloy but its standard appart from that, not half as nice as that with all its choice extras.

thanks for pointing me in the direction of that thread, i found it most interesting. The 4 holed 5 link came off the same car with the etched motor mount, wheras the 2 holed 5 link had a non etched mount. whilst on this subject, each car i got had different steering arms, one had black, one had oran...

After restoring a losi xxcr kinwald and buying a new unbuilt xxxcr2 i wanted to complete the line up with a jrx of some sort. Originaly i bought a JRX2 off ebay, but it turned out to be a bit of a bitsa, and possibly the leftovers of someone elses build. With no shocks and a host of other parts need...
