No I will never sell all of them, But there was a method to my madness? I got the wife off of my back with the money I made now I get to rebuild my collection all over again

I have already replaced my JrxT, Junior T Junior 2 and Jrx2 and I have a NOS Prose chassis on the way. and isnt the hunt for that perfict part and the build the real fun? what fun are they once their done just sitting on the shelf waiting for you to dust them. Yes that might help with the turning problem also thanks

smart move!!! I can actually see your point about how much fun it is to build the cars vs just looking at them. I guess that what I do also. Unfortunately, sometimes....well, most of the time, I wind up building something that turns out too well that I no longer want to sell. Oh well...time to go to Home Depot and buy more shelf space
FYI...I sent you the pictures of may car via PM.

The Body finialy arrived

its cool it has a green tint to the plastic protective film. and i just bent some new wire for the wing I am going to try my hand at a box stock Junior 2 paint.

as close as possible with this body. since its not a true Junior two body. Blue and white we will see might go through a few to get it right. wish me luck? I also ordered a set of junior two towers and took off the pro se towers I am leaving the RPM arms just thought the towers would make it more correct since everything is all new parts/ build. still looking for front shocks anyone?

Junior got a body and shocks. its all done now but paint, I will update the picks this weekend. I am going to pull them all out and go find a nice place to photograph them all for the record. I shortend the wing wire it looks alot better than in these bad pictures. I took Highway racer's advice their are new RPM Truck arms on it, and my Pro Se racer. and I ended up putting the Junior shock towers back on it and took off the prose's.

Looks great man! I have followed you sales (sorry again about the JRXT one). Glad you sold that last one. I agree with what you are saying about the hunt. I can honestly say that I have spent every waking hour on ebay/net searching for parts. So far I have bought 3 complete rollers, and about 23 other parts auctions. This is worse than finding available parts for modern builds. BUt is sure is fun. My fiancee is getting pretty mad as I keep changing aspects of the hobby. One month it is crawling, then it moves to nitro, then to this, and so on. But hey, we all have our likes.
Now paint her up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a big deal its already forgotten. I was just in a bad mood and it rubbed me the wrong way. dont worry everything is great. We all love Losi's so the world is good.

I am working on the paint. I am going to do sorta box art, but with the XX body on it its a little bit of a chalenge. I am drawing up the patern on graph paper then I will transfer it to stencil vinyl I want to get it right on the first try so the progress is slow. but thanks. this is my favorite of all of my cars so I want it perfect! I am tired of tossing new bodys because I dont like the paint. I am very Anial about it. they get tossed of put on cars I fix to sell?
