Just wondered if anyone had any idea who manufactured this part? Its the rear-most hinge pivot bracket off a Jrx2 that was given to me by a good friend who I raced with Bitd (we still do) He can't remember & thought it might be handmade but I think it looks rather too good for that?
You know what makes me agree with your buddy about it being home made is that the part is not annodized with at least a clear. That would be easier than you think to make on a mill. I made this cover for my old katana brake reservoir on my lunch hour
Nice cover Shodog .... Yes I know what you mean about it being home made its just that 'lightening' groove in one side & the rounded ends although are all within the scope of a skilled machinist - I just wonder if you'd bother if you were making it by hand?
Having said that - on the same chassis there is a white nylon/delrin front link support/body mount (the side parts that always broke).... and that my friend said was definately home made... yet the quality is suburb!
Eventually I'd like to build up a runner Jrx2 using all the modified parts from my friend's car as an 'ode' to him & his dad
that piece might be little too early for HG. if it was an aftermarket part, not home made, i'd have to go with dialed racing.......... or whatever company it was that made those aluminum front end piece on one of mrlexan's jrx2's. i'd have to check out that thread......

Thanks guys for your input... I suppose unless someone definately has a catalogue with the part shown... we'll never really know.
Ascosola; i'll get a pic of the side mount, there is also a trans housing with all the ribs taken off & a cut-down & drilled super slim Pro Chassis, he also gave me a set of adaptors to fit Yokomo wheels... for the front aswell as for the back (I've seen rears but not fronts before) & an adaptor to fit RW Tuffnel spur gears

The cut-down trans & narrowed chassis are just standard items that have been hacked about, the side mount is hand-made, I'll take some pics over the weekend.. & post them next week
if you hold it up to a stock plastic rear pivot do the pin holes line up or if you hold up against the pin holes in the rear bulkhead do they line up with those? i only ask because it looks like it dosen't have any anti-squat built into it meaning the pin holes should be slightly below center on the block . if you were to run them on a mid motored converted chassis it is very hard to get zero toe when the rear pivot is now being used as a front pivot and the toe and anit-squat is reversed. my solution for my oval racers was to take an old broken bulkhead i had and cut the entire lower suspension arm mounting portion of the bulkhead off with a dremel so it matched the dimensions of a standard pivot block. once it was on the car i slid washers between the chassis and the block for anti-squat. i know when Hugger was making their oval chassis they had made some kind of aluminum block under the tranny that used graphite plates for the rear pivot setup.
neat stuff.
The red wheel adapters and spur adapters were made by RW racing. They made 2 different spur adapters, one for standard spurs and one for their own brand of gears.

I guessed those parts were by RW racing, since they made the tuffnel spurs Bitd... I still use their spur & pinion gears now on my touring car racer
On one of my 6 gear trannies, when I cracked it open it had red idler gears..not dyed, but molded in red. Very faintly I can read (I think) Polar Plastics, somewhere NY.
They are extremely smooth. One gear is a bit chewed and noisy, but still...
Anybody have any idea how many were made and not the later iterations, I mean the 5 link original cars. What percent went overseas? I am just curious as I want to buy them all :lol:
numbers on rc10.jpg Tried searching Google and I came up empty.
I just realized after all these years, or maybe I forgot, that the #3 on the side of the original JRX2 actually looks like it comes from some numbers you could buy back in the day. Who...

I used Autographics #103. They look right to me.

Thanks, I thought that might be it but couldn't find anything to confirm.
Just want to know Sassy ever made the losi jrx2 chassis?
Sassy have many type aluminum chassis that days,like RC10 、optima mid、cat xl,anyone seen the losi jrx2(or series cars)chassis before?I am not losi guy so have this stupid question.
thanks

Yes, his name is Larry. He actually still has some of these JRx2 chassis laying around.
Well I will be a monkeys uncle.. not sure who that monkey is but... The losi 22 still lists one part from way back in the jrx2 days on it's standard parts list... The antenna holder! Though it looks like it just uses the antenna with its cap at the...

All I can say is.... too bad they are only black, I need some of the red rings that clip on the top of the antenna holder for some of my cars :)
I've started working on my original JRX2 today. I'm Keeping it an all stock 5 link except I'm going to put on my slipper and hydra-drive unit...I'm not quite sure, I might be missing more parts that I don't know about. I think I have most...

I'm guessing that this was not an easy mod. I've searched but not seen a certain answer ... which transmission did you use, a retrofit or an LRM? Which topshaft?
I have a bunch of hydradrive, LRM, and retrofit parts, and I *believe you* when you...
