New built full option javelin (finished)
This is my new built, full option javelin. It started life as an nib turbo optima. I added a belt kit, swingshafts, turn buckle kit, gold nerf bars and motor gaurd, and a brand new in the package orange cage, all option house nip parts. I added a lemans 480 gold motor, and a sweet you-g wing (not a dirt burners), I also added a new set of OT-30 tires mounted on pargu2000 aluminum wheels. I also owe a thank you to freyahel for instructing me on how to paint the tire lettering. Thanks bud. These are the new pics of the finished machine. I hope you like them and comments are alway's welcome.

Stunning Buggy Mark, I always wanted this as a kid but ended up with the Optima because this was always out of stock at Tower, I still think this looks so scale and so fun, maybe one day
freyahel
Glad I gave at least one useful advice in my life !

Amazing looking buggy, if looks a blast to run...
slimmy
I have ran a buggy just like it. and they are a blast to drive. but this is a very expensive recreation of the one i had in my youth and this one will not be run. I have two 1/8th scale brushless four wheel drive buggy's to play with and they rock I tell you!!

Thanks tobbe, I am very proud of her and she is my second faverate RC. my first is of course my mountaineer. I got about the same amount of money in them though wich I'm to ashamed to say

cali75
very nice...I need to get a javelin for my collection
Naxman
Nice! Looking good!
tamkyo
Thats awesome! Although I can`t believe it cost as much as your mountaineer! I would love to know how you painted the lettering so perfectly on the tires if you don`t mind sharing.....
slimmy
tamkyo, I used faskolor white lexan paint for its flexability. I then thinned it down. Then i use a tooth pick under a lighted magnifiyer and take my time filling the inside ridges with paint. trick is to fill the inside area right up and drag the paint around inside the lettering. It take lots of practise to get good. You will be a good after 20 tires and a master after about 50 tires.

The best Javelin I have ever ever seen! Absolutely awesome!
besty22
Have to say that this is one fantastic looking buggy. Awesome job mate.
slimmy
Glad you like it chris. It took lots of money. Time and Most importantly, patience during assemble. Anybody that puts one of these together in less than three days. Does not have a flawless machine. If you look closely at this. Even the screw heads are flawless. Not a single scratch or tool mark. I wrapped my screw driver head with tissue paper.
slimmy
Hard to believe every part on this is 25 years old. I think its on my top five list of favorites.
delux
Very nice!
ModifiedMan
