Ugly Body..

Decided to try and strip this body again with brake fluid. I soaked some paper towels and placed them inside the body. So far I have been able to remove most of the red paint.

This will be my airbrush test subject.

If you're familiar with 1/1 scale auto paint.... you'll know that red is the easiest to destroy, fades the quickest, doesn't hold up as well, etc.

Keep at it... it should just take more time for the other colors.

as an aside... I kind of like that scheme, execution was not so great, but the scheme is kinda cool.

JRX2 in the late 80s... have since come to my senses with the RC10T, yes of course it's vintage! Wife is always destroying her Tamiaya LunchBox to call me her personal mechanic a few more times. Enjoying the fresh build of an RJ Speed Digger.

I can't take any credit for the scheme. I got the body with an e-bay purchase.

Using spare/extra parts to put together a runner, no themes here. Going to use it to experiment with some mods (cut down tub, etc). She wont be pretty, but should run with the best of them.

Sorry this is totally off-topic but every time I see that front shock tower it reminds me of a lyre.

I wonder if the person who designed this part also played in an orchestra.

Okay, I will just return to my corner and shut up.

After building my Jrx2 series buggies and setting aside parts for another build or two, I still have a decent sized pile of used Losi parts. So I have decided to take the worst parts that are still functional…you know..the scratched, faded, rusty,...

I have been driving this truck a lot and decided to make it not quite so ugly with a body upgrade.

Shake and Bake!

So I was cracking up to myself the other day while building what might actually be the most hideous RC10 ever seen from parts acquired over the last couple of months...everything has been drilled out, had glue splattered on it, rusted...

I'm just about ready to take my vintage car racing and I think I'm going to go LiPo but I have a couple of noobie type questions.

I have three RC10 buggy's now, two of them have the stealth transmission but this latest one has the 6 gear tranny. How do the two compare? I figure the stealth to be the better of the two but how so? I've ordered bearings and new idlers for this...

Last post

I am going to attempt to cut down 2 out drives and make metal idlers for my wifes Scorcher-10.
tads gonna build a rock crusher trans. :mrgreen:

After watching the wife run my Tamiya TGX this evening, it'll need it. :lol:

Well, here is my ugly duckling. I saw it on eBay with a low but it now and pulled the trigger before closely examining it. Still glad i did. It was beat up, chassis was homemade and longer than stock, and it was missing a lot. It did have a nice set...

that turned out great. That really was an ugly start of something unknown to begin with. Even though still shows wear it still shows nicely. The more I see these things the more I want one :roll:
