I'm not sure on shock spring color. I had sourced front and rear shock sprinks in black, for a cleaner look. However colored springs just seem to suite an SE.
Factory was green front and red rear if that matters. I miss the bright colored springs. I might paint mine to get the look back
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Wheels are mounted. I have the good fortune to have a new set of black & white Losi logo wheels. I love these wheels in white, however I have been wanting to use these black wheels/tires for a long time. After mounting them, I think some red logo wheels would be a great fit, lol.

I did a quick polish to the driveshafts. However I may change them out to aluminum units. I will be changing out the steel wheel nuts for aluminum units shortly.

It's kind of like 'you should never meet your heroes'. I'll just go with having the superhuman ability to always start screws of identical length at the same clocking, and knowing how to adjust the starting position based upon minor variations in screw length. That's 100% the real method.
Well, I guess we won't give you the right answer but we do the same black magic with electrical wall plates to align the screws with each other.
Oh great it’s not just me then, labels out and size order in the cabinets and fridge too ! Right guys……

Turned out super clean. I love the black wheels with white lettering. Real nice Clark! I mainly ran black wheels back in the day, and always wondered why it never took off. So many yellow wheels.

The body I will be using is this Protoform 1503 "Ripper" It's specific to the SE. I like the look of the large central air scoops, especially the upper one. I think I will cut it out to make it functional.

These Jammin wing cam locs are some uber rare pieces. I think they would be a great fit for this build. However, I'm not sure if I can make myself open them. They are my only pair.

Now I finally know what they are! I got a used set in a parts lot I got a long time ago. Never seen white ones anywhere else until now. 8)

I printed a few sets for a member a few years ago. I thought they were standard Losi parts, not Jammin Jay parts. Very interesting.

Are the Jammin ones any different from the Losi ones or is it just color? Or did Losi buy the design from Jammin?

As far as I know, the color is the main difference.

Body is cut and fitted. The rear end is a very tight fit to the motor and spur. As soon as I can find my container with all my wings, everything can be prepped for paint and decals. Then it should just be a quick 10 year wait until I get it painted. :P
