Looks great!
Looks like you plan on running it, good to see.

I might need to design an extra large wire clip for the battery cup. Thats a lot of wire! :)

Oh just noticed you have the old solid rear shock tower with no holes. That look like it makes the cable routing fun for that brushless motor.

That's a very nice looking specimen! How does it drive? If you need ideas for a gear cover, I think a Jrx Pro SE cover from TBG would fit no problem. Just a thought if you hadn't thought of it yet. Also, what weight oil you are using in the shocks?

looking awesome.

what gearing did you start with for the spur . i know in newer cars, they are going way smaller. (ie 69 in the b5).

what wheels are you runnign up front and mods to run them, and wheels out back and mods to run them?

I have to figure out what the spur is i forget...it's a modern A.E spur....the wheels are b4 wheels with customs works spacers in the rear withe lower arms spaced in a bit for clearance

Looks great - nice paintjob!

Regarding the gearing - on a 17.5 motor you'll be looking for the running the largest pinion that will fit whilst using the smallest available spur gear! Generally if you think of what gearing you would have run on the equivilent brushed motor then go up about four pinion teeth :wink:

Nice car. I noticed you have the very rare front arms without the dimples. Those only came with the "Limited Introduction Series" kits. I consider those kits the early Endinger version of the JRx2. Is that a textured chassis on your car to go with those rare front arms?

You replace those front arms before they break - they are the early weak brittle ones.
and don't scratch up those early shock towers :wink:
