Sweet, good to know there will be some Losis out there kicking up some dirt onto the hoods of all the RC10s behind them. 8)

Slowly but surely making progress.
First is my JRXPro, then my Frog... (sorry the first frog pic was a litle fuzzy)
Still working on the RC10. I am unsure which I'd rather run, so I'm bringing both. :D

actually most of the parts that are on the car now are new. but, i need to put on the new turnbuckles, ball cups, build the new shocks (when i get them), and a couple other little things.

so, i guess i don't really need to tear it down all that much. :wink:

Man that frog makes me want to enter a frog into the nats, with a blitzer beetle body :roll:

Yeah, it cleaned up really nicely. Didn't need much work at all, but I made a few changes just because. 8)

Yeah, yeah, poofy painted clouds. I don't have any top secret hot rod motors melting down on the bench. Na, it ain't like that. :wink:
