Here she is...99% done, just some visor hardware and bottom trim to put back on. Cody can feel free to change up the stickers later on.

Rod, I left room to apply your huge Littau sticker on the back on the helmet. I think it would be a good way to personalize it.

Hope Cody is enjoying his helmet!

On to some of my own painting. This is my fourth Ivan Stewart paint scheme now, this one using the Protech body. It will be going on my OIN buggy, which is powder coated blue with all blue hardware and FT stuff. Guess all of that blue stuff is going to be stripped along with the chassis. I thinking a white or red chassis will suit this build better after getting this body trimmed and on.

As for the body, I gave the roll bars a chrome moly look with flat black panels. The rest is pretty straight forward.

Holy crap :shock:

I was wondering why it looked like it was done already on a different model :?

Once I get some Toyota decals on there maybe it'll have a different feel.

Ivan had been running that paint job since long before Losi even thought about the JRXT. He started with blue instead of red.


I like the paint AE. I'd throw some decals on it and run it.

Losi definitely used the Ivan Stewart truck, right down to the number choice
