Tore into the trans. Built well, diff is solid. Outdrive bearings were rubber shielded and as stiff as bushings, so I replaced them with some silky ones from another trans. I never realized how tight the Losi tolerances were. Good god that was a pain in the ass to change! Trans is much smoother, sti...

How does that work?

The Hydra shaft "cut" and spacing is the same as the B4-B6
Slipper hubs. I'll shoot pics this eve

Anna (7) and Toby (4) tricolor Aussie and her cousin an imperfect Merle with hetrochromiac eyes. She's perfect. He's an idiot. Gotta love Aussies... they make great trail dogs!

If you must run a slipper I was impressed with the magnesium slipper plates, they couldn't weigh more than a couple grams. I'm sure you can make it free, it just takes time.... Not a bad idea. I may try the old toothpaste packed slave case trick. Wait, what's this trick? We used to pack a case *not...

Just watch that it doesn't get to warm. Not sure of their composite...could get soft and mess some stuff up

So far it's an earlier kit since the chassis doesn't have the MSC holes. Hoping for white servo horn and servo mounts on this one for you.


And I prob have the box front tires NIP....but the wide fives and the Yokie rears will look cooler anyway!

I'll double check tonight, but I'm 90% I have a pair NIP

Guess I really should look through my stuff more often lol

Daniel, they won't be an issue this year. Our Indoor Winter Super Saturday series race 4 is the week before, and race 5 the week after the vintage race this year!

If you aren't planning on using the Protoform Ripper X CR body and would consider selling it, I would be very interested. I've been hunting for an original for a while.

PM was sent

My VONATS paint transferred over the the JRX Pro body pretty well, of course I made the windows twice their molded size- The problem is the Flourescent yellow Losi decals I have are too small....and so I'm going to put off what I'm going to do eventually... But I do hate cutting into an uncut origin...

Started racing in Jan 1992 (Walts indoor Clay Classic) 70th out of 71! Second to last overall with a brand new 7001 10T and only beat a Kyosho Big Brute lol. Raced indoor clay oval and carpet oval in the winter, outdoor offroad in the summer. In my 20's I was a full ride dirt oval guy, designed and ...

Speaking of databases..was there ever a B2 variations thread? I know Rod had the 1st version with white steering parts in the 25 years thread- but this car would be a 2nd version by my count (black steering, no MSC holes in chassis, alloy shock caps) then the late version- just curious. Can't wait t...

Cool- Glad to see the white servo horns! So an early car. BITD maybe Dec 94" to Feb 95' (it was definitely winter season) my B2 i bought was the same, black bellcranks and white servo horns with alloy shock caps. Still have a lot of the car. Box is identical to my later car built from sealed, b...

I had two silver label Revolutions, both were listed as 12 scale motors on the package. Don't recall the wind, the colors on the label worked better for the build than some others..why I had them lol
