Here is #2 of 3, The JRX-T
Same basic ride as last year with a new lid, mcallister toyota. Gone are the old tekin esc, brushed motor and nimh, replaced with a GTB/ss, 17.5 and SMC lipo.
The trans has been freshly upgraded with a slipper clutch and a metal ball bearing diff gear.
Servo is a futaba 9404, and there is a spektrum mini RX under all the wires.
Rear tires as pictured are the j-conepts double-dees I ran last year. I've got a new pair of hole-shots on hpi 5-star white wheels.
rear shocks are hardcoated 1.2 bodies with 1.0 shafts,which seems to be a good fit for the tall towers with the rpm arms, I know the colors don't match each other, but those are the only 2 I had.

Every time I read a post with Bngiles name in it, for some reason I read it as Bjingles... :lol:

Was Brandon the one who raced that nice Frog last year at the VONATs??

Yes Freddy that was Brandon. He let me try his Frog and it was a rocket.
I won the re-re Frog kit and the kids built it last winter. We took it to a local indoor track and with the silver can and a 1800 nicd pack (2.2 tires tho) I was actually keeping pace with a couple Slashes. A couple spectators were heckling the Slash drivers that they were getting beat by a FROG!! :lol:

BTW I should be making my reservations next week. I just need to work out if I can get there for Friday too. :wink:

Ok cool, cause I'm giving Brandon and his Frog, a run for his money with my Bearhawk... :D out of all the classes, I thought "Classics" looked to be the most fun.

I hope we get a good "Classics" class turnout. :wink:

Here are 2 of the 3 I plan on running. The Supershot STILL needs paintwork done. :roll:

The Frog will be back. I have since put on HPI 5 star wheels. Looks better and widens the rear track considerably too. Added Tamiya CVD's, and I plan on replacing the stock steering links with turnbuckles and regular 4-40 ball ends.
