Well the painting's done. I reckon it dosen't look too shabby. There's a couple of blemishes in the paintwork but they're minor. It's a runner anyway and the next body I paint will be better. Only a couple of things left to do to it now. Anyway here's the pictures.
Thanks fellas, glad you like it. I'm really chuffed with how it's turned out. It's the most complex paintjob I've ever done. I usually paint bodies with one colour.
Once finished I'll try to muster up some action shots.
Mow your grass!!! Um.... I mean.... awesome-looking 10! I do like it when people look beyond the original box-art.... well, box-art for the car you're doing, anyway.
Now, let's see some Frog-painted Ultimas...... lol....
Again, great-looking car.

I think I may do a similar theme on mine, I hope you wont mind?
Thanks Rod, I'll look into that. Also I have no problems with you doing a similar theme either.

Hey! You cheeky bugger! I'll get to the grass soon.
The car is finally finished so here's the backyard action shots. The first shot is my favourite so far. It's a bit blurry but I really like it. It's also extremely difficult to drive one handed and take action shots with the other
Round the sweeper onto the straight.
Hard left around the apricot tree.
Down the main straight.
No problems were encountered running the classic on my backyard track. The gearbox and diff are still smooth and the 17.5 turn brushless is grunty enough for my driving skills. It's also a hell of a lot more fun to drive than my B4.1FT. Thanks for looking.
I had a few days off work so took the opportunity get on with some of my R/C projects which included making a start on my new-build JRX2.
First, I dug out all of the parts that i've collected over the years. This collection was started following a...

Sorry chaps! I've only just noticed that this thread got 'bumped up' - unfortunately JRX2 No.3 kinda stopped along with that last post about a year ago.... all the parts are residing in a box ready to be assembled into a car..... which probably...
Now I'm not a big fan of nib collections, I just don't see the point, never have done, until this arrived today. 8)
The fact that it's near perfect, 25 years old, and Senna's car, makes me want to keep it as it is, but that does kinda go...

IMG_3870.JPG The family CFO gave me the green light for a new system. It's the first new one in 6 years. I'm replacing a Dell XPS system I spec'd back then. A few upgrades here and there and it still gets the job done for the most part with the Core...
