Oblong filter is the later mk2,
Mk1 spur was solid locker , I think mounting was plastic , Mk2 is sprung , but still a locker.
The shocks in the bag will be shorter Mk2 fronts.
They changed a few things and made the car wider .
Most of the alloy upgrade bits for the 5ive series and 30 DN truck fit on other than the chassis braces and servo mounts.
 
Did front and rear differential diff were half empty and very little grease on ring and pinion as seen in picture. Changed rear springs. V2 comes with shorter shock cylinder and springs for front 20250424_173520.webpfull]108744[/ATTACH]20250424_163659.webp20250424_173035.webp

You can search for JFC Racing.
I based my conversion on this , they reckon it transforms the handling , I cannot say coz I built it into mine and changed the arms and stuff from day 1 . Mine seems to handle nicely and is super stable .
Not a fan of the plastic chassis braces though , so made mine up in alloy.
The pre painted bodies are the way to go for me , I run a clear body underneath for protection as I had to delete the engine protector to get the SCZ engine in.

Do losi aluminum braces fit?
Also what pipe is that?
 
The chassis braces are specific to the 30 DN buggy , which is why I made my own out of alloy on the mill.
Exhaust in the JFC pictures is an old design by VRC , on my car I have the later design of VRC nautilus , which you can get silenced or non silenced.
Shock towers,arms ,steering ,hubs ,front plate and suspension braces all fit from Losi t and 30DN Truck, so plenty of alloy upgrade bits out there.
