This one has been on the shelf for years unfinished looking like this:
Going for a Wolf in sheep's clothing effect
I recently saw a white themed build on the old school RC facebook group and saw some of the Sabula white printed parts so I ordered some and got to work the car is a mix of new and used parts
I used a full thorp setup in the trans to get the black and white look inside, as well as a white cap for the diff adjustment port. The motor plate is a black Litesink that was used, Outdrive spacers are from Sabula
The suspension arms are Robinson machined arms which are longer than stock. I had to re-drill hinge pin holes on the rear hub carriers and trim the bottoms to get them to work inside buggy wheels.
Shock towers are A&L with a JG front body mount and a homemade rear mount out of delrin with the JG aluminum body post. Sabulatech.com battery box, antenna mount and upper shock mount with RPM delrin shock balls and white ball cups. Tecnacraft turnbuckles and stock shocks.
I had a set of black MIP shock bodies in the mail, but they got lost, tracking has shown the package in a mail recovery center for over a month
The wheels are the translucent, not opaque white, JRX-2 spokes
it almost looks the same in a color and B/W photo, the yellowing of the fiberglass and front bulkhead are the biggest differences.
I've got a set of repro body/wing/gear cover waiting to be trimmed. I recently saw but missed out on a set of white Jammin Wing buttons,
It's still not done, but lots of progress has been made.
The Idea was to take a chassis I had refinished and build it up with as many white parts as possible, then to have the aluminum parts reanodized gold. Black and white JRX-2

Re: Black and white JRX-2
That looks great! I at the color vs. B&W comment, and had to go back and examine the photos.
