Sludge's JRX2 Pro
Next up in the 'to do' pile is this:
Bought around summer last year as you see it and it's time to get stuck in with it Not yet taken it to bits but first impressions seem good. Needs a new shell, hopefully I'll be able to find the correct wheels and the correct dampers have already been purchased for it. This will become another vintage runner so I wont go all out making it beautiful but the aim is to have a nice clean runner.

Re: Sludge's JRX2 Pro
It looks pretty nice. I had one of those as my first attempt at running buggy class. I wound up selling after just a short time, I preferred my 10T. It's one of only two of my cars that I ever sold. I'll buy another some day.

Re: Sludge's JRX2 Pro
Well, just got it out of storage and it looks worse than I remember with thick rust on anything metal and certainly a hell of a lot dirtier than I remember. It also appears getting hold of the correct style shell and wheels will be harder than I imagined as I think they differ from the standard JRX2.
So I have a couple of options. Sink a load of time and money into this one or look out for a better one. I'll keep you all posted.

Re: Sludge's JRX2 Pro
Sometimes it's better to hold out for a better one but the parts are out there so you just need to keep looking and be patient. I received two JRX-2's in a trade a few years ago along with some spares and it was only after taking them both apart and cleaning everything up that I realised that things weren't as bad as I first thought.
I ended up with an nearly new looking JRX-2 and what would have been a runner but I sold them on eBay a couple of years ago much to my regret now.

Re: Sludge's JRX2 Pro
Looks like it's a converted x2 into a JRX Proformananance kit. The JRX-Pro had different battery box, rear hub carriers, wheels and bellcranks, plus different cut lines on the shell-
Very cool!
