Jedi's 'Old to New' Build Thread!

[Jedi Master]

OK, so hopefully you guys can see the style that I've tried to follow here; it's my version of a modern day Jay Halsey. Was my first attempt at painting a shell with liquid mask. I'm not great with a scalpel but it seemed to come out OK in the end.

Didn't have exactly the right decals, so replaced some of them with modern ones.

Comments welcome as always.....

That looks good and old school. Nice work.

Found it quite tough to get a retro look with modern colours. As it turns out I used the replica layout and just added my own race colours

I think the Fiberlyte front shock tower was designed for .71 shocks, the 3 racing/AE V2/Kyosho Velvet shocks are .89 (approx) in size - why your front end looks to be WAY up in the air. If you gonna run it, you will need lots of limiters to bring it down or a different front shock tower or different shocks.

Overall this thing is stellar...the chassis is fantastic, damn exchange rate

When I first built it I quite liked the high front end, bu I think I'll follow your point and get some different shocks for it..

Finally got around to putting some original shocks on the front end (need to order some screws the fit the rears...) and I'm shocked at the difference it makes to the look of this shell. I've never been a real fan of the Viper shell, but now that the stance is lower I absolutely love it......

As always; rate it or slate it!......






The old set-up............sucks!!!!

Two very nice cars Gives me more ideas for mine...

[Jedi Master]

Not a full build, and certainly not by me, but more of a 'brush up' of one that I bought from a member on here

A few new decals, new wing and modern electrics. Only a 5700 castle motor, but still balloons the tyres!

Will need to shorten the wiring at some point.

Only a 5700 castle motor

Car looks great.

Lowering it was the way to go...I can't believe you will actually race it...

So a quick question, did Fiber-Lite also make a 1 piece chassis?

[GoMachV]

Isnt that a Fusion Speed chassis? Going from memory,haven't seen one for 20 years

[lexus-5]
