My OG JRXT has come back to me. A bit worse for wear, but complete. I'll clean it up and maybe make a runner out if it.

I'm waiting on the .9 bodies to arrive and I need to figure out the turnbuckles, so at a stopping point for now.



Buffed the body a bit to see how it will look.



And thinking about wheels....

Spacers in!

Decided to restore a few decals that have some road rash. Luckily, I have some Parma Goodwrench decals in the stash.


Off with the old.



Fresh

I couldn't get a matching set of grey hard ano shock bodies together, so I'm going with black instead. 20250323_104058.jpg 20250323_185216.jpg Twisters motor installed as a place holder. 20250323_185239.jpg Found a spur gear adapter from my OG car and installed a new Kimbrough (rip) spur gear. 20250...

Turnbuckles finished up.

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

Just winging it...

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...

Inspiration for the thread title.

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...

Oooh. Very nice!
