I have had this Truck for about 18 years along with my Jrx Pro. About late summer 1996 my daughter who was 9 at the time ran it into a curb in front of our house and broke the chassis in half. it only took a year of collecting parts for the restoration. It could use a new chassis but this one has only seen light use since its been in a box since 1996 . So its good enough. Its the nices JrxT I have ever had. Well I got lucky and won a NIP decal sheet on E-Bay UK As far as I can see that was the Last part I needed. So it is DONE, man it was hard to cut that decal sheet it was the hardest part I have ever had to track down!!

Ive been very lucky with parts on this one It has all new suspenion arms bulkheads almost all new in package parts. I was in a little hobby shop in TX. and found some old stock side shields .

nice truck...that's one i never managed to get

That is a beauty! I'm starting to wonder if I should paint mine box art as well. There is the issue of the decals though.

well I went by the print shop today were I am haveing some made but no one was their? it took longer to find decals than to build my collection I am going to another sign shop and I am going to have some custom ones done these are a little small for the body. mine is the MCAllister SR-5 I wish I had a stock one. but I like this one ok. I have another new one of these I am going to paint nonboxart?

I cant decide what looks better? my original truck had Orange rims, and I went thought a lot of sets trying to get this nice set? now I am not sure I like them with my paint job. the Parts truck I bought to get the chassis to fix up mine, had these yellow wheels? or do you think I should put the aluminum ones back on

what do you think??

I would put on the orange ones, I think...no the chrome looks great, wait...I love the yellow too! Aaaggghhhhh!!!! i can't decide! I guess I'm no help after all.

Truck looks great!
Orange wheels all the way

i vote yellow great looking truck.

I must say Rick, the decals really finish her off right! Looks excellent!

Orange for the win Rick. Get her OG and box if that is what you were after.

Beautiful by the way. All I need for mine is a body.

I have a NIP one like mine it's not Losi but I like it and it fits good? let me know if you want it?

I vote for yellow.

It looks like you did everything to make it look as box art as possible...so I say go with the stock orange.

On the buggy, you can get a better look with the yellow because the light orange wheels look very yellow in the box art pictures. The dark orange almost look too dark.
