i STILL need to paint mine. it can wait some more yet, though. i'm gonna be taking it back apart to cut the tub sides down and drill some big holes in it.

Feeling a little ambitious today - good progress. The blue looks a little darker than I would like now that its on the car. Still looking for the decals for it. I have no idea what kind of wing was used on the original car, so I just used a newer kimbrough one.
looking good dude, maybe trim the lower part of the spoiler side dams a bit, but that's just my feel. I have no clue iether as to how the original wing looked.

I think you need the 6186 2.5" x 6" wing (or 6187 is the kit), it's the wider version of the kit standard 2.5" x 4" 6184 (now only available as the 6185 kit).
while i was digging through my box of decals, i stumbled across a white autographics letter sheet that i need for his name on the driver side of the body.
does anyone have a JG decal similar to the one below the 6 in this pic that they'd part with? please?

Ditto, once scr8p is taken care of.
I was comparing the original with the signature decals that I put on the car. Didn't have the black set, so I just filled in a gold set with a fine line marker. I was thinking about signing in the name myself, but that would probably be considered forgery. I guess I wouldn't want someone making copies of my name if I was in Mr. Halsey's position. Anyway, something doesn't seem right...not sure if it's the sizing/spacing/ or what. Hope all you 'detail hounds' can find out what's wrong.
well, the chassis has been put on the subway diet.
i really wish the chassis wouldn't have had the battery acid leak on it. it looks like hell. hopefully, i'll find another tub in better shape, and i can swap them.
Excellent modding mate, but shouldn't your chassis holes be bigger? Comparing your car in the pic and your vintage pic you are replicating they seem different sizes.

ya, they need to be a little bit bigger. but, i couldn't find my 1/2" drill bit. i'll have to fix them up later.
To start this off, I would 1st like to congratulate Jay Halsey himself on winning the 1st ever IFMAR OffRoad Worlds in 2WD, and sending the RC10 and RC World into a spiral of evolution that has taken the RC10 to many subsequent World Championships!...

Love these jay halsey builds I styled my b6.4s with a touch of this styling. Still want to add black front wheels. It’s not as detailed but is a bit of a throwback.
Just picked this up from eBay. I'm pretty sure it was owned and raced by Jay Halsey. I'm surprised no one else bid on it. Probably put the correct 6 gear tranny and milled motor plate and everything else period correct if it's legit. Comments?...
The postman came yesterday with this very clean RC10 that was already fitted with a Jay Halsey paint scheme body (though not totally correct according to some of you), but that will be do to start an interesting project... Scr8p already helped to...

A lot of people forget about the orange stripe, but he always had it.
I used the search to no avail, one of the guys here built a replica to the RC10 that was in the Jammin parts ad. You know, the 2 page spread.. It had the long shocks in front with the Jammin Jumper body, solid dished wheels with Losi tires... Can...
Ugh, my camera keeps making my parts look yellow, maybe it is the color of the blanket under the car... oh well. Here is a work in progress. Thanks to Sofa King for the Jammin Jay body. If you want one, he may have more, but I am not sure.
Thanks...

Well he does have 4 nuts and two are bigger than the others. If you ask me that's not normal and worth a look. :mrgreen:
maybe thats why he's so popular wit' the ladies. 8)
i've wanted one of these freakin' things since they came out. when i started racing in '91, i had to get a junior-t since that was what i could afford at that time. it worked out for the best though, since i mopped the floor with every 5 link jrxt i...

Very cool to end up with that sticker, amazing how things do end up. Looks great on there.
First off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mike Bartino and I live in Ontario, Canada. My main area of the rc hobby right now is flying turbine jets and other aircraft. I have a serious interest in vintage cars mainly from all...

i've never got a definative answer on that, but it's most likely just a stock fiberglass tower, with 2 new holes drilled lower than the factory ones to gain more ride height, and then dyed black.
