85' IFMAR Gil Losi Jr. replica

[coxbros1]

Me and my brother are gathering parts to replicate this car....does anyone know where to get similar 1.5" tires? they dont have to be exact just close....thanks

The RPS SE Kit tires were Team Losi Racing which I believe were made by / and same as Pro-Line Champions.
And I am assuming that is what are on the car in the low res pic
And the best part is they are both hard to find, but Pro-Line re-re'd some a few years back.

Proline Champion 1010 or 109-R looks close.

I have a feeling the ProLine Champion tires are out of production now that the RC10 Classic is out as well , you can still find them but its getting hard , I struggled to get my last set for my 834b shelfer .

[coxbros1]

Seriously considering the 7 cell chassis from Factory Works. It would lay out cells so nice....Thoughts?
Got all this invested and the actual car isnt even mine...raced against it in the 80s and the guy dropped it off yrs ago to display....been here ever since so decided to to this Gil Losi Jr. resto project...if he comes back to get it guess i'll have to buy it....dudes 73 or so tho

Got the chassis and rear arm plates comin from Jeff (GoMachV)
