Rick, I cant see the details very well....why dont you send it to me for closer inspection?

Fantastic looking...

Looks nice Rick. I like the white chassis, how the heck did you come across that prototype.

Looks awesome Rick! I vote for bigger pictures too, it really deserves it. Are you going with black Losi shocks, MIP ones would even be better but they're tough to find for the Losi's, even harder than for the RC10. Some custom white shock collars and cups would set these off too and what about a white steering set-up? Keep up the good work, Anthony will have a hard time to keep up with your standards on his proto chassis, but I'm confident he's up to the task! Nice to have both of these chassies in this small community!

Thank you, Just made a deal on the white MIP steering this morning so its comming, I am sure Anthony's ill be great also. I cant wait for the wheels to get here.

How does the composite craft brace fit up front?
The stock brace has a 10 degree kick up to sit flush on the bulkhead. is the cc bent, shimmed, or just flat?

I've been working on a whiteout car for a while now, so I might cheat and just switch chassis plates and I'll be almost done.
my original plan was to use a jrx2 restored plate with all whit parts, and then to have the aluminum parts re-anodized in gold.
too many projects, not enough parts or $ to finish them all.

it fits the best of the ones I have tried so far its flat I will take a pic

This is one sweet build Rick! Love the fact that the chassis is a prototype one - would love a prototype XX chassis, that would be awesome.

Can you post up some higher res pics, its hard to see that small and doesn't do the build justice!

Keep up the good work fella!

everytime I try and do bigger pictures it wont let me? I will try and see what I can do

which looks better the white wheels or the stock yellow? tell me what you think the yellow is bright with all of the white, the normal black chassis kinda tones it down

Yellow looks good with the motor plate and adds some nice contrast

yellow looks really great! I think I stick with my standard clear anodized shock bodies suggestion. Would complement it nicely, without being overstated.

I have a set of yellow rod ends that match perfectly. I thought the all white would look good but it seems to wash its self out. If I use the white wheels I will need to run a silver motor plate. the yellow motor plate is BRIGHT I dont think it comes out in the pic's how bright it really is.

looks good so far.
I got my white junior chassis in the mail today. not sure if i am going to build it up. it looks like it has never been built, still has flashing filling the 4 front bulkhead holes.

I'm liking that so far, bearrickster. I think it looks good, either with the white wheels or the yellow wheels & motor plate. I can appreciate it from an all-consistent, one-color perspective and also from the 2-color, white with some yellow contrast perspective, both work.

I'll be honest though, the red steering components are killing the overall look of either all-white or 2-tone white/yellow. One of those yellow A & L bellcranks would be totally smick!

I have the white MIP ones Mini had for sale yesterday on the way for this car. I agree the red is to much. I think I am going to make a yellow battery pad also, not the black one I think it will look better with the yellow.
