Losi Jrx2 / Jrx Pro for Racing!
3 Attachment(s)
Not seen much about the Jrx2/Pro on here, so here's my effort.
This is it so far, see attachments First picture is what it was like last week, the others a few minutes ago.:thumbsup: Ta Brett |
Nice to see amongst all the rc10s and XXs.
|
I loved my jrx2and my jrx pro I would love another one now. I could be wrong but arnt the front wishbones on yours pro se?
|
Hi Gordy,
Nearly right, they are RPM super strong swept front arms, I've got some orginal ones too, I remember the swept pro se ones looked better but broke alot. Can't find them in the spares box. Anyone know a LHS that might have some old stock? |
Great to see another 'JRX' graphite chassis Losi being given some love! Are you intending to run this beauty or is it for display only?
I ran my 5-link JRX-2 during last year & I must admit it drove really well & I was impressed with how it stood up to the riguers of running with modern Brushless & LiPo electrics (I did run a slipper though). I also a have a Pro - would be interesting to run that one day & compare it to the older 5 link SWB car. I would highly recommend running your vintage - it really adds to the fun of owning these older cars :thumbsup: |
as i said i loved my pro and then i moved on to a pro se only kept that for about 3 weeks before selling it. it was an absolute dog compared to the old car
|
mine was one of the first jrx2's i then got the pro upgrade kit and ran it at Aire Valley for years. That's why it's got RPM front arms and LXT shock towers. Still got all the 5 link bits, but sold the short wheel base chassis years ago.
Dan I read your thread and watched your vids about your Jrx2. You amazed me with your collection and race results, and that's where I got the bug to restore mine. It will be race at York in the 540 class as I've not got a slipper, yet..... |
still want one :-)

Anyway, what are you doing on here at 2am!!! |
It's looking good Brett. Who painted your shell? Do you remember Stu Storey from BITD?
|
Looks great bretts! I love the paint job on the period shell:thumbsup:
Wish I could find a supply for a couple of new 'gold' trakpower batteries - they are the only batteries i've found that fit into the rear bulkhead of the JRX2 - I managed to get a 'Zippy' battery pack that fits in my XX but thats still too thick/tall to fit in the X2 without cutting :( P.S; you've got to try it with a 'proper' motor in the back... for me the fun of running these vintage racers is to race up against the modern cars - showing what these old cars are capable of (quite often surprising many people) Whilst I understand the logic behind running vintage as a seperate silvercan class... for me i'd find the speed (or lack of it) a little boring. |
Hi Neil, Stu Storey rings a bell, any more info? The shell was painted back in the 90's by Julian Alton in his garage (a 20+ year employee of Modelsport in Otley).
Dan, I'd love to get the slipper bits have put a 'proper' motor in but my gear box case has the small hole in it like you found out. Any suggestions? Have a look on hobby king site they do a lipo pack which is 22mm tall. I've got 5 trakpower thin gold bars!! Also, new Trakpower was on ebay 0.99p no bids. Collection only tho. still I should have got it and organised a courier.

Brett, all I can really remember is he painted a lot of shells for the lads when we raced at Oaklands. He also ran a Losi with a sort of Subaru blue and orange paint scheme. The shells were backed in a light blue paint which he then signed 'Bodyspray by Stu Storey'.

Another step forward. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: |
Great stuff - you're now ready for a bit more power!;)
P.S; thanks for the link to suitable low-profile batteries.... just spotted those :thumbsup: |
Fingers crossed i'll be able to run it at the Iconic RC / A1 RC - Revival Meeting in the 2WD Pro 1989 - 1993 class with more grunt.
