Old School Losi's - all the way!

[BORMAC]

Here's my latest project/s. I've had these old Losi's a while now and an old mate of mine has inspired me to get some cars up and running.

It's been more than 20 years since my old pal raced with me back in the day and his last off roader was the JRX PRO. What more fitting way to re-introduce him than set up a couple of old Losi's for us to relive old times.

I have been collecting old radio gear, esc's, matched cells amd other odds and ends for a while now and my concept is to recreate these cars as they would have been all the way back when they were doing the circuit.

Sure, anyone can drop in a lipo, brushless and 2.4 radio set but that's been done many times before (even by me). This time I wanted to go all the way back and do it right!

Both cars have been rebuilt but I am still looking at finding a few peices that will complete these cars to a standard in which I will be happy with. The concept is not to make these cars competitive but rather set them up to make a reliable run or two for fun.

This far in I have a pair of Ko Propo EX5 29mhz AM radio sets, Ko Propo FET servos, Novak T4 esc's, 16x3 Revolution motor for the X2 and a Race Prep 14x2 for the PRO, matched Sanyo 1700 scrc cells, vintage 2.0" rubber and even Deans 4-pin connectors. Crazy i know but all this gear still works and after testing both cars they are suprisingly quick but also very smooth.

A few items are currently on order from sellers from across the globe and they will be replacing worn items to aid in reliability.

Please share your thoughts.
