I attempted to do a little search, but wasn't able to find the information I was looking for. Over the past few weeks I've acquired a few JrX2's and I'm currently in the process of tearing them down and rebuilding them with new parts as needed. These are my first Losi cars (outside of my XX-4) as I've always been a big AE fan. I am absolutely amazed by the engineering that went into these old 5 link cars. My question is what can I use for replacement wheels for these cars? I have a couple of old sets, but since I intend to use at least one as a runner I would like to be able to use modern tires. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: JRX2 Wheels
With a bit of fiddling, you should be able to use B4 fronts (i think they need to be slightly spaced out), and if you space the rear most mounts for the trailing arms in toward the chassis slightly, the B4/XXX rear wheels should fit okay.
There is a thread somewhere on here about 2.2's onto the older 5 link cars. If you have the H arm rear conversion, I dont think there are any issues with running standard rear 2.2's.

Re: JRX2 Wheels
Ultima RB (not the RB5) rear wheels will work fine. You must call Kyosho USA direct to order, they don't show the wheels in stock on the website. 2.2" white dish style.
