I know a lot of you bought the Blue groove or Erich's but none have been posted. Lets see some pics of both painted or unpainted.

I have one, not cut yet. It's not bad but not perfect. I'll try to get some pics to show what I mean later today.

Erich's or Blue's?

Team Bluegroove.

Still waiting for my repros to get here. Not that it matters much, I have 1 original that is mounted and still hasn't been painted, and 1 of the first rough run repros that is also mounted sans paint.
I put the box of paints on the same shelf as my naked lids, but they still haven't painted themselves

Here is mine its Erich's it will be painted in the next two weeks

Do you know how hard it is to take decent pictures of a clear object? Anyway, I did my best. This is the Team Bluegroove body. The locations for the rear body mount and wing mounts were manually drawn on from the factory?

I forgot to add the wing. It looks nice and crisp.

That's funny! The first ad for the bluegroove bodies specifically mentioned that there were no body post holes marked so that you could fit it to different chassis like the jrx-pro by marking your own. It seems that they changed the description after less than a day of it being listed. When they first deleted the line about no holes being marked I emailed to ask specifically if they were molded in and the response just said that "they are all there." The current ad copy mentions nothing about markings for post hole locations. marking in pen is kinda cheesy
I still don't see that body fitting a jrx-pro like they say. it will take a lot of trimming to get around the pro rear tower

How well are the cut lines marked on the bluegroove version?
That is one of the things I really like about the losi bodies vs the AE ones. The Losi's have complete cut lines and all body mounts marked. The protech body is a pain to trim

The cut lines are next to nonexistent, and where they are they are only vaguely defined. That would be my biggest criticism. But...the price was right and with care I don't think anyone but the pickiest of us will know the difference on a well trimmed and painted body.

The cut lines are fine on Erich bodys?

Is that a question or statement, lol?

I am stoked to get the Bluegroove as it was cheaper. I could care less about lines as it will never be ran, just painted. They look very nice, thanks for posting.

I was saying its nice they are easy to cut out sorry

You could have painted it first, then it wouldn't be hard to take pictures of

Just kidding, I've seen your recovered body for the jr-x2 and the paintwork looks very early losi on it, very cool

Why thank you sir! I have to admit I am proud of that paint job. I need to master the airbrush but i'm chicken! Also lazy.
