This was also the first thing that come to mind when I saw this Dukemo, especially when that "Team Losi" sticker in side of sidepod is that big. That size stickers were not available from Team Losi publicly. It would also not have been the first time when Ron had checkered flag painting in the rear of his Yokomo:

EDIT: Fixed typo

I have added some new photos to the thread. I found the wing, tires and some bits and pieces that came with the car. I also cut out some white wheel dots for the rims.

I of course noticed the Team Losi theme you chose with the Fantastic paint job. Was there a reason you chose Associated shocks for the build vs Team Losi?

Hi Aaron,

I have been busy but I always have time time to visit my boys at RC10Talk.

I have just finished putting some final touches on my Dukomo last week with the help of Seabass and when I saw that you had bumped this thread, I thought that destiny was at play. I will be updating the photos on the first page hopefully this weekend. No major changes but some small tweaks to keep with the Dukomo/Team Losi theme

With regard to the paint job, that is original and is what came with the car when I purchased it. The car also came with 3 Team Associated hard anodised shocks in the box so I assumed the previous owner had used Team Associated shocks. I thought about using Team Losi shocks but I have never seen a Dukomo with them fitted... Also the .71 inch shocks with silver springs was a set-up that worked really well with the short A-arm/Kyosho hub carrier combo.

A few members have mentioned to me that this could be an ex Ron Rossetti car but I can't confirm that.

Losi do not have short enough front shocks to Dukomo's kind of frontend, You have to use e.g. AE front shocks here. Losi's truck front shocks 0.9" might be about right for to rear but that doesn't help much.

This is mega mate,thanks for sharing it's awesome...

With the rerelease of the super dog fighter, do you all think there would be any interest/demand to reproduce the chassis for these cars in the DA graphite Iridium carbon fiber? If there were enough interest, I think I could get it done. Let me know thoughts….

Where's Scr8p?

All of the files are ready. I just lost my wingman when it came to the delrin stuff. It may get revisited, but I don't know if any of it would work with the rere.
