Re: Ronbo's Re RE 870C to Cliff Lett YZ-10 Theme EXODESIGN chassis

Jrx2 Proformance - Kit build w/out hop-ups

I picked up what I thought was a brand new Proformance build back in 2018. I was sent several pics before purchasing, but some photos aren't the greatest, and it's obvious that I was not looking hard enough for flaws. To some people brand new build means a mix of new and used parts, but I digress on...

Re: Jrx2 Proformance - Kit build w/out hop-ups

Drilled the rear bulkhead inner camber holes using a #43 bit today. The Losi March 1990 Tech Sheet says you should use a 3/8" ball stud that threads into the new Pro rear tower. Jrx_Proformance_rear_camberlink.JPG IMG_7768.jpg IMG_7761 (Large).jpg IMG_7762 (Large).jpg IMG_7767 (Large).jpg

Re: Ronbo's Re RE 870C to Cliff Lett YZ-10 Theme EXODESIGN chassis

Nothing in the instructions that looks like that kit, but there is hardware to mount shocks but no shock bushings. Mine is the reg shock version, not big bore. Should be able to use the stock parts in kit with this. Ill take a picture of all the parts laid out.

Re: Ronbo's Re RE 870C to Cliff Lett YZ-10 Theme EXODESIGN chassis

Well, the kit wont build itself... might as well build while watching TV. I usually build in garage, but cars dont take up as much space as hydro or airplane... :D Although I did build a nitro heli in living room one time, but I did ask the wife! :D Here is supplement and the parts in conversion kit...

Re: Ronbo's Re RE 870C to Cliff Lett YZ-10 Theme EXODESIGN chassis

Well, this was last night. I had to quit as my back was hurting and it was late. A few miscues, but I do like the sequence of order regarding the bags in the build. Question for those that have built sealed diffs like this, do I coat the gears with enough of the 5000 lube, or empty the bottle in bot...

Team Losi JRX-2 JRX-T Tech Sheet Issue 2 March 1990

I recently picked up a Losi JRX-2 and along with the instructions it included this tech sheet that I haven't (yet) seen posted anywhere? Interesting maintenance schedules, and updates to parts. Has anyone seen Issue #1, or if there are any other issues beyond #2? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/sc...

Re: Ronbo's Re RE 870C to Cliff Lett YZ-10 Theme EXODESIGN chassis

The black cases, I couldnt tell if there is a fill line. Didnt notice in instructions. But Ill fill to the cross over pins. Anyway, got as far as I could today as I have questions that need fitting....I didn't feel like messing with shocks. The EXODesign kit is nice, its all installed now. Using rea...

Ronbo's Masami/Cliff Lett Worlds Works 91

Decided to build the Works 91 (always wanted one) while figuring out the EXOdesign 870/YZ10 in other thread. Most know the obvious differences from the 870/yZ10, arms, C hubs, chassis plate. But I can say in addition, the aluminum bulkheads feel smoother, the internal planetary gears are black with ...

Re: Ronbo's Re RE 870C to Cliff Lett YZ-10 Theme EXODESIGN chassis

Looking over the RCCA article and the build in the Yoke section, I forgot I needed to convert (or try) to AE rod ends. And I just couldn't pass up getting a proper fit Jammin Jay Upper deck from Factory Works. I tried swapping it out, but it was too tight. Took off the front tower to compare the ext...

Re: Tamiya Top Force - Kit No. 100

Re: Jrx2 Proformance - Kit build w/out hop-ups

Since the body was painted by Jack it makes sense to use the Motown Missile. I’ll keep the Jr’s choice in the motor tube in case I swap it out. The Tekin 411P was released in 1990, and so was this particular Rx. This saves me from having to hunt down an ESC 600 or 610. Servo is a high end bearing a...

Re: Jrx2 Proformance - Kit build w/out hop-ups

I'm enjoying this build for a bunch of reasons. Firstly is a pure build, no shortcuts. Then just the rarity of the build in general. The quality of the accessories. The body I used to own (lol), the attention to detail and lastly it really fills a void for me personally since I had built and sold t...
