made a little progress it has 4 wheels on it. I love my RPM arms but they made the tierods a funny lengh so I ended up useing 1 short and 1 long rod end to get enough thread in to them. hopefuly I will have some time to paint them sometime soon.

well I got a little wrench time in today, and did a quick spray bomb paint job on my Vonats car. I am going to paint a new wing to match this body, but it just got here after I put everything up. I was hopeing it would show up in the pic, but I put a little pearl white down before the fol yellow and it makes it pop. but I guess I will have to take some out in the Sun. I chose colors to go with the vintage theme, they are the box art colors but in my sceam. all but the red.

on another note I talked to LRP today and they are finaly shipping out my new speed control today :D I am suprised how nice they have been about replaceing it. its been out of stock for a month now, so I told them I needed for the Vonats and they didnt have one so I got a free upgrade.

Really, really cool.

Nice work ... now that Vonats are long passed, are those bad girls still in one piece? Or have they become project fodder?

Love the racing livery.

Excuse me for being ignorant, but what are those wheels on the JRXT / LXT? My following of Losi's took an almost 20 year hiatus just as the LXT first came out, so I don't know all the bits available for it ...
