I highly doubt they are all actually signed individually, however I guess it's hard to say

even if they are not "authentic" if it's a good quality shell, then even at $45 it's not to bad.

I highly doubt they are not signed by Gil.
We are a pretty small community, not like he is going to have hundreds of these to sign :wink:

So these aren't new but original bodies? Since every time anyone tries to get Losi to help out with repros or whatnot gets told that everything was destroyed. So after all this time "original mold" bodies start appearing.

The spelling error on the certificate weirds me out as well.

JRX-2 body & wing set made from the actual original tooling created in 1988
new bodies pulled from the original buck

I'm sure pops and Gil losi still have and kept some if not most of the original tooling. Horizon/Losi I'm sure doesn't have any of it. At least I wouldn't have given them any of that in the sale of the Team Losi company.

Mmm interesting :?:

It was my understanding that the shells were originally produced by another company for Losi... which was how the Xcellerator & JRXPro shells came to being reproduced & sold on here some while ago - short production runs instigated by a member on here (BrandonG?), apparently pulled from the original moulds by the company that still holds them.....

BTW is that the Pro or Junior2 shell being advertised... deff not JRX2 :wink:
