Default BloodClod's JRX-2 Build

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

Custom delrin lower links to use regular shock ends






3mm Carbon Fiber shock towers






Lipo Tray for Saddle Packs




Battery Brace with standoffs incorporated into suspension mounts




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



More detailed info on build up and customized parts here on my blog.


Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

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.



Cheers,
Ty

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.




With shell...




Side profile...




And a picture with my YZ10 ready for our vintage run in 3 weeks' time!



Read more about this project and others on my blog if you're interested.

Thanks!
