Wow that looks great! Love that bodyshell paint - blobs & chequers are very late 90s! Did you paint it?

Great to see another Losi taking to the track too.... i'm planning on getting mine recommissioned (having rebuilt & raced it for a season in 2012) in readiness for this years Iconic Revival meeting - going old-skool brushed motor this time

Unfortunately i dont have the talent to paint that well! The paint scheme is an evolution of the scheme i have been running for over 10 years now.. A gentleman in South Australia paints for me. He does top work!

Definitely happy with the build. In 17.5 i found i had to fiddle with spur / pinions to get the correct FDR.

The standard 84t spur for this buggy made it very difficult to fit a large enough pinion to run 17.5, plus the motor had to be way back due to the size of the pinion, not ideal for carpet racing!

Luckily the xxxcr 78t spur is a direct fit. Was then able to use a 36t pinion and up the static timing on the motor.

The only downfall now is my driving ability!
