Done so far.
Moving on to bodywork’s

Way to be. Not affraid to take it up a notch regardless of a new kit. The front wheels are cool. What size are those?

Thanks! 1.5" if I'm not mistaken

Next up decals

Needed to cut the Halsey-Thompson Reedy sticker in two as there’s curves in all directions on the roof.

Looking through the documentary “RC10 the winning edge with Jammin’ Jay Halsey” I noticed two more decals on the rear of the body. Some other small details emerged as Jay’s father Jim talked about geometry, weight distribution, tires and electronics.
I know Jay and his father did many alterations over time on the car so this tribute build is more of a mashup of everything = not time specific.

Looks great!

I'd try to lower the body a bit more since you have the chassis cut that would facilitate it. It might be the camera view throwing me off though.

Thanks RogueIV,

The body cant sitt lower unless you modify the rear shock tower.
It might be that the pic is missleading due to stance. I have no electronics in it.
Here's a pic with some weight in it.

The Jammin Jay Halsey edition is done!
The final bits came in the mail yesterday. The Yokomo wing buttons. I did use transparent double sided tape on the wing for a cleaner look.
This was a good build. Lots of metal work and small details to address. Some appeared under the build when you really study details. I really like the look of it. Jay knows how to build a good looking car Thank you

I just built the Jammin Jay replica. Who makes a spring set it? The silver ones that came with the kit seem too stiff.. Thanks guys!
