RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

to tell you the truth I dont know what I am going to do it as I am getting out of RC for a while. so it may just go in a box for a while. I want to build it up before I put my stuff up though. will see I am going to get out the parts I have and see what I have and what I need to buy? and that will determin what I do with it right now.

Well as much as I hate starting another project while I have 3 others going, I just couldnt help myself. I need to find a new set of side links, I dont have any at all.

That car's screaming for Robinson Machined Arms and hubs, or the Lunsford link and side towers!

Reggie's right Rick. White arms might really set that off. If you cannot source those, maybe a set of Jake's Jeepz arms?? BTW what's the deal with those arms from Robinson? Were they durable and not brittle? They look a lot like tamiya ABS although I know they weren't.

I'm still working on the Losi you two have helped me with parts for... just haven't had any extra $$ for all the loose ends I still need. One of the kids overflowed an upstairs toilet, and I had to re-drywall my kitchen ceiling. Wife and I also decided to build a deck after 6 years in our house. Project was originally going to be 12x12...now the aim is 12x22 with an 12x8 privacy wall.

Apoligies for ranting in your thread, Rick. I wish I had the bread for all that custom work... My motor plate is probably going to just see paint. You car is ART!

Gorgeous !!...i say make the paint half see through and some of the same blue on the sides.

Sorry guys I really dont like those Robinson arms they are so bulky and made more for a JrxT, as they are H-arms in the rear. I think this car would look better with the 5 Link. yes I really said that, I know I have always said I am not a fan of the 5 link but in this case I think its the right move. I am a big fan of RPM parts, I have raced them on all of my cars since I started racing Losi's. and this chassis came with the large 8/32 holes for the RPM steering factory drilled you cant use the stock set up even if you wanted to. so it got RPM bell cranks, Its getting RPM links and front arms I have all nip. sitting in a box. the Losi 5 links always bend and sag. the RPM ones are much tougher, and stay straight so I will be useing them. its getting a complete Jammin pro se steering inhansment kit. and RPM shock mounts.

losiXXXman Rant on its cool I have been working on a pool my tenent set up in my yard all weekend. I dont know quite how it became my problem. but since its in my front yard and my boy want to swim in it, I want the water clean.

I was thinking of doing a twoface thing and paint one side and leave one side clear? not sure yet. I guess it depends if I end up running it or it ends up a sheld queen.

Well thanks to JK I have the last of the parts on the way. I am going crazy waitting for then to get here I want to get it at least up to a roller as quickly as possible.

Which wheels are you going to roll that beauty on Rick?

not sure at the moment, I have a set of new orange, and yellow jrx2 wheels and I might use the jps ones from my other jrx2 and put the stock ones back on the other one? I have also been toying with the Idea about putting a bug body on it? I use to run a jrx2 with a bug body on it for years.

Yes altho the two face thing doesn't have that symetrical look....you could do the sides and I was meaning like th very sides edges the same blue as the chassis...then an inch or 3/4 white stripe front to back on center with a thin pin stripe parallel to it. This would leave about 70% in clear showing off that beaut.

You should do white wheels...maybe the later JRXPRO 5 stars...would look hot.

well my parts came in from JK so I can start building again I will have some progress tonight.

Cool deal Rick! This is really turning into an awesome car. I think those chrome rims from the other car or some nice aluminum ones will really set it off.

Hey Gary great to hear from you, its been a while. I think so also, I think am going to put the aluminum wheels on their. I will put a bunch of different ones and post up some pictures and we will pick the best ones. I would really like to find a set like those front wheels I sent you, the stars would look the best.

Yeah, I still have those. If you come up with a set of rears I'll let you have these.
