Looks great Willy! After I sold all mine to Rick, I got nostalgic and picked up this one, new built and currently sporting 3 series BMW livery. I have some of the HPI classic rims to throw on it but I need tires and a different body.

Thanks,What type of surface are you guys running these cars on? The owner said it was set up for parking lots but it doesnt look like it ever made it to one.

I have never run mine. I had 4 of them, I sold off 3 and just kept this one. I am hopeing to make it to a vintage Trans Am race someday. All of the Tracks around me are dropping like flys. in the spring I may take it to the parking lot and give it a run.

Thats my plan too.A friend of mine has (I think) an xxx-5?Anyways,,thats why I bought this one.Cant wait to try it out.

they only make the JRX-S and XXX-S no 5

XXX-S..Thats the one.

Mine is a Graphite but it has a different style chassis. but all of the parts say graphite. I like your Mustang body I just sold one with those wheels and a NIP Camaro body. these cars are cool you can change the body and wheels in Min's and have a completely different car.

Thanks Rick.I'm pretty happy with the body and wheel combo on this thing.I'm lookin for an anodized screw set for this thing.Red or blue? Do the exist?

You might pay more initially but you get so much more for your money.

Rick, I notice my chassis is different than Willy's is too. That's three different ones so far.

Great looking car. I have one as well, and I love it. Great car, good handling, and take a fair amount of power. I would love to race mine, but RC racing in Montreal doesn't seem to be very popular. So I run min in large open parking lots, make up a track using the painted lines. I have a Mamba Max 7700 in it and it's bloody fast, I still haven't found it's top speed yet, the system is barely hitting 150 C, so still plenty of heat to play with. I am sure it's hitting 120kph or so, and I am pretty sure it still has another 20kph left in it. Enjoy your new car!
