MY RESTORED SHELF QUEEN

Quote

Post by SRBMOJO » Wed May 14, 2008 3:50 pm

Here are some pics of my recently restored shelf queen.

Started out as a $65 buy it now car on Ebay.

Chassis was near new with only a few scratches, came with the stealth tranny.

Added: new shock towers, dyed all parts black, MIP B2 CVD's, Duratrax Evader rear wheels.

Car is very similar to the one I ran when I quit RC the first time in 1992.

I picked this up just recently. Did not expect the guy to accept my price, but here it is. It was an impulse buy for certain.

I got a perfect early JRX-2 from a member here and after receiving it I cleaned the dust off, the shock shafts ( love that old Losi water based shock fluid ) and it seemed odd that this car was built in 89' then never touched. The one key might be...

I have a couple rc10t2 without tranny gears or axles. I suspect that someone had a GT, and took a couple parts from the t2 to fix their GT and then the t2 sat untouched. One of these t2 i bought on ebay, the owner said he bought it at a vintage...

Quick question, I am putting the finishing touches on my first fully completed project. When you build a shelter do you put oil in the shocks? I am leaning towards yes so nothing dries out. I know I read something about it before but I can't seem to...

Put any car outfitted with Duratrax shocks on the bottom shelf, too. :lol:
