Vonats builds

[JK Racing]

Rick, those are HPI truck wheels (F5 I think), right? I know I had a set in charcoal/gunmetal, great looking wheel. I believe still available today.

Really, really cool.

Nice work ... now that Vonats are long passed, are those bad girls still in one piece? Or have they become project fodder?

Love the racing livery.

Excuse me for being ignorant, but what are those wheels on the JRXT / LXT? My following of Losi's took an almost 20 year hiatus just as the LXT first came out, so I don't know all the bits available for it ...

They are still very much together waiting for spring for some run time, and the Vornats. I plan to come this year come hell or high water!

they are getting ready for more upgrades, both are getting xxx threaded shocks. and the LX-T is getting the wheel base extended to the long stock position. and new built xx retro fit transmissions w/double sided slippers for both. and the Wheels are HPI like JK said. I picked them because I can have one box of wheels to fit all of my trucks. I started running them when I had a T4 and a Lxt, rs4mt plus I can throught them on my Lunchbox if I want. I am cheep I didnt want to spend a fortune on wheels and tires for as many trucks as I have. thanks for the complements. soon their will be a Jrx2 racer to match. more to come!!

I know this is a old topic but as I am cleanning up and packing up most of my RC stuff I found some intresting parts. When I raced at the Vonats last year I was haveing a very rough time getting my poor driveing skills and ill set up car dialed in. well when the Main came around I finaly got my S**t together and was makeing my first respectable run of the entire weekend! I came around the Third turn and got hit makeing a pass and the left side wheels went over the pipe and caught a Giant landscapeing Nail that wasnt hammered down properly and ripped off my left rear H arm. I didnt even look at it I just went back and fixed it so I could play later. well I found the broken parts today. and I must say I have never Broke anything RPM Before ever! the rear Titainamum hinge pin is a RPM peice and the rear pin brace is stock Losi, the one on the car is now a RPM peice. I am not sure you can see just how bent this pin really is it looks like a S

those nails (HUGE SPIKES!) were a problem all weekend.

this years surface and track setup should be alot more period correct.
