The bellcranks are custom made Houge from Ruffy. He had these made back in the day and I was lucky to get a set.

Thanks for the comments vintage AE and I am Miguel not Jake :wink: .

Appreciate the comments.
Yea this car is looking good, it is different from the rest of the cars I have and I think that is what I like about it. Hope to get the wheels on tonight and trim the body tomorrow.

Some more progress.
I am actually going to stop working on this one until I get material to cut the parts I need to finish it up but, it is close to finish.
I had to cut the body a bit more that standard because of the custom towers to make it fit but it was all worth it IMO.
Know some pics.
Sorry for the over exposed flash and lexan dust, better pics outside when the last parts are installed.

Very nice but you should loose the losi wing nuts.

Do you paint? If so do you have plans for the paint?

Very nice!

Thats really stunning - I love the mix of the blue parts combined with the shiney-new black & white!

I actually think the Losi wing buttons look good with the Jammin shell (which is one of my favs too) .... but if you feel the need to discard them - please send them my way :wink:

The only reason I am using the Losi wing nuts is because they are the same that Jammin sold under their name for this wing body combo and I did not find an original Jammin set. :D

Not sure about the paint yet. It will stay clear for now. I keep al my cars in the shelf with clear bodies until is time to run them.

Miguel,

Excellent work sir. That is a really cool car and you should be very proud of your work.

Those white parts sure are bright 8)

OK OK at leat you have a good "reason". Ofter times I really like clear bodies to show off what you have done with the build but I'm a painter so it really is hard to leave a body clear.
