Just sharing a few pictures of the Losi JRX-2 which I've been working on...

Here's how the car looks... waiting for the liquid mask to dry on the shell. :)

Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

Wow, that is one nice project you've been working on.

Absolutely beautiful - the Jrx2 was the "dream-car" 2wd I could never afford as a kid. The multilink rear suspension surely was/is amazing for tuning options too.

With the bloodclod treatment brining it into the 21st century - I can't wait to see how it goes!

Keep it up, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this project moves on.

:thumbsup:

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind comments. The JRX-2 was one of my dream-cars too.

That 5-link rear end was (and still is) so very cool!

I'm hoping to run this at the local vintage event if the weather holds up - will shoot vids if it comes to pass. :)


Some updates:

I've made an undertray for the car to preserve the chassis and also sprayed the shell (thanks Mr Lexan!)

Here's the car with the undertray.
