Why did no one else jump one this then , I know it's going to take a bit of cleaning and a body's going to be hard to find but a complete looking JRX2 for under $60 is that not a bit of a deal
I saw that one too, but it's really too smashed and hacked, parts are not original (wheels, battery holder, shock collars...), good for a runner, but impossible to make a shelfer out of it

It's the only Losi I wanted to, in fact it's the only car I did not own from my must have list so I guess I can stop collecting now

I here ya Asso_man, I thought it would do for now as a tick it off the list car, however be sure when a minter comes up I will be at it all guns blazing
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
The 5 link set up was the way the Jrx2 came out of the box, as pictured in that auction. Then, the H-arm conversion was available. The arms were in the shape of an H, but were basically the same thing as regular old arms, or A-arms.
Eau Rouge wrote:And for what it's worth, the H-arm conversion was out before any of the later release cars, so MANY people ran the H-arms on the original JRX2.
I switched to the h-arms on my original jrx-2 early on mostly because the special lower rear shock mounts for the 5-link were rather weak, and the h-arm setup used a standard shock end instead.
The arms ended up being h-shaped so that you could use the wide hub carriers from the 5-link suspension. eventually they came out with the smaller more normal looking hub carriers, but did not change to a-shaped arms.
I had these original bodies painted by Mr. Gary Kyes who also painted many of the early box art bodies including the original JRx2 and JRxPRO. I'll post pictures as soon as I find the time to trim them, mount them up, and apply the original decals....

Any update on this JRX2 eBay haul? Would be great to see it all cleaned up. 8)
It's kind of on the back burner; I had a sudden urge to build another scale 4x4 truck, so I'm working on that right now. But it's a long, wet winter ahead, so I'm sure...
