nice paint job!
It would look still much more cool with losi & trinity vintage decals.

Love the colours on this that much I'm going to steal them for my first and newly aquired JRX2 maybe with a slight variation though.

Thanks Guys has take a while to get there and waiting for parts to come from all over the world :-) for the paint job i my brother dug out some old radio race cars and i took some inspiration from some 1995-97 race buggies was going to do my brothers old body but he said no i cant so mixed it up. will try to scan some in at some time post them up there are some great color schemes. i have got a few more vintage stickers but felt these looked ok for a race buggy but no what you mean :-)

Hi mate, I'm currently doing the same thing with my XX. Where did you source your parts?

Thanks

Most of my bits i got through ebay and on some through facebook pages such as oldschool rc and vintage losi page. Take my xx the battery brace came from Australia was cheapest i could find think i paid £9 including shipping but did take 3 weeks to get to UK so patience is much needed. And on hear to if you no the parts you want the wanted section is very useful.
hope that helps
kind regards

Funny how they always seem to drive the same looks good although a bit too much front end grip I'm guessing
