thanks guys.

yup, i'm looking for the jg decal in the pic that jay posted. the one i used on the car is from an autographics mini-sheets. to make it look similar, i cut the wings (i guess that's what they are ) off of either side. i kinda wish i had a larger reedy decal on the roof, too. but, that's the largest size i have that is just the outline of the letters.

I checked all the NIP JG parts I have and my spare sticker bin too, and every one of them is a fluorescent color.
I was thinking maybe the white was from one of those autographics sponsor sheet sets, being as several of the other stickers were also autogrphics, but I guess you ruled that one out already.

And you had the cojones to use an original 6160. Very admirable

that's awesome. now i know how to trim the wing. it's hard to tell in the magazine ad with the white background.

i'm gonna keep my eyes open for a pretty nice A stamp tub to replace the one i have. i'm kinda thinking that the pic of halsey's car a few pages back with all of the holes drilled in it (the reason i drilled mine), isn't really his. although i could be wrong. but there's an article in the scan archives where he says he doesn't drill holes in his chassis because of it allowing dirt to get inside, or something along those lines. not to mention, all of the pics that i KNOW are halsey's car, the tub isn't drilled.

i also need to relocate my electrics and move my antenna, going by this pic. and get a white battery cup with a fiberglass hold down.

Whose or what wing did you use Scr8p??

I just finish watching The Dead Pool. And that Jay Halsey car was in it. Great movie btw

He currently has a Kimborough wing installed that is still available on Tower.

yup, a kimbrough. it might not be exact, but it's real close.

such a sweet 10 man, congrats on a beautiful build, that picture makes a nice background too.

Hi every body,

On the NOVAK site, they say that Jay used a Novak 1 on his car like Gil Losi in 4wd:

"Novak establishes themselves as pioneers in the R/C speed control market with the design and introduction of their first electronic speed control, the NESC-1. By comparison to today's speed controls, the NESC-1 featured an on-resistance of 0.0025 ohms (4.3 times the Cyclone's on-resistance of 0.00058). Novak's speed control line is completed with the introduction of the NESC-2, NESC-4, and NESC-1X. Electronic speed controls make their first World Championship appearance at the 1985 Off-Road Worlds, with both Jay Halsey (2WD) and Gil Losi Jr. (4WD) using the NESC-1 to capture World Titles."

Jay finally used a Novak 4 or a Novak 1 in 2wd on WC 85' ?????

Bye PRP.

That build is dead sexy scr8p, great info as well! Thanks for sharing!

This is so cool - I am a complete RC10-newbie but this thread was/is extremely interesting and I really admire Your painting / modellingskills! Supersharp looking car!

Very nice car and well detailed.
