RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Just got this mrlexan reproduction lid painted tonight. It still needs stickers, but the forum has been quiet for a few days so I figured I'd post it up as is.
The lines are not as neat as I would like and are a bit too wide, but it will do for a runner. I had a hard time telling exactly where the color changes should be up around the nose as there are not a lot of pictures of it, so I wound up winging it a little.

This lid will be on top of my vonats 2wd entry. And for those of you who do not recognize the paint scheme:

I like it. As you said, once it's stickered up it will be perfect (and 20% faster )

Good luck at the vonats.

Stunning X2 you have there. Far better looking than any other 2WD of its time......

Great job,sweet ride what are you going to do with it now, you should run it,

Fantastic!!

That's a nice looking paintjob, its got that VINTAGY look to it...

Looks great, its awesome we can put new bodies on our vintage rides again.

Very retro i knew that paint job right when i saw it very nice

Very nice paintjob, will look fantastic with a few decals not that it isn't already fantastic. I don't like painting and until I just did my grandson's car body I haven't done a paint job in over 20 years. However in my case even though the job I did was far from what I would have liked to have done, I had a tremendous sense of accomplishment after I completed it and when I put a few decals on it I was proud of what I did. There's a lot to be said for completing these little beauties with a nice paint job and you do get a feeling of a project really being done.

Love the paint job did jammin jay ever race the losi.

Nice job Anthony! I always liked that paint scheme that was on the RCCA cover.

Yes, Jay Halsey joined Losi sometime in '91 I think. I know he was with them at the '91 ROAR Truck Nats at Columbus OH in September. Also his father Jim was Purchasing Manager I think it was for Losi at the time. There was a line of Jammin products that were sold by Losi, shown on their parts lists and such. I have his front shock tower on my Pro SE, and some tires. Not sure when he left.

no updates until I get a little more work done,
Anybody know where I can get some of these car-action stickers?
Where they available on any of the autographics sheets, or only from RCCA?

autographics used to have "R/C News" on their mini sheets. i don't remember if they had rcca. might have only been able to get them through rcca.

I remeber there was a free sheet with one of their issues. I'm sure I've never used it...but can't say I have seen it come up when I was looking through the old mag's some months ago. Probably got lost over the years: I think it was around 92!
