I also modified the slipper plate to accept a 72T spur gear and 29 pinion gear.

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.

If I could make it, here would be your competition:



LXT with RPM chassis brace, 2.19 XX Retro tranny, Jammin' servo mount. Eletronics open, anything from brushless 17.5 to brushed 27T. Andy's XXT Soda Dodge Ram body.

Here's my VONATs Trio:

Tamiya Bearhawk, Associated RC10T, and Losi XX.

What Bug body is that ?

One from my original mold. Looks good Freddy!

Thanks Jay,

It's an awesome looking bug body.

I got a sneek peak at Bngiles Vonats car this weekend, you guys better bring some serious 2wd cars! His car looks good enough to be a shelf queen but it's all racecar. I got intimidated just looking at it!!

i wouldn't expect any less. all of his stuff last year was the same way.

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

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!!

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

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

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

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

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.
