A little help with a heap

[Basher67]

Picked up this pile-o-poo with a small collection recently and trying to figure out exactly what I have here besides a lot of rust. It says JRx2 right on the bulkhead and I've found pics of similar chassis online listed as JRx2, but I always thought the JRx2 buggy was a trailing arm setup. I've never been a Losi guy and have little to no knowledge about their cars/trucks. Can someone help me out here with the confusion.

Jrx-pro

It went to H arms, longer chassis, different towers and shocks, etc

[Basher67]

Assuming the parts are compatible, with the parts I can salvage from this heap and the pile of JRx2 parts I've been hoarding for a while, It looks like I can probably assemble a decent car. My first instinct would be to build the original trailing arm car, but would the "Pro" version here, be more collectible or desirable for my collection? I'm not talking dollar value, as I'm not looking to sell. I'm speaking purely from a perspective of "what would be the cooler losi car to add to my collection". Is one version more rare than the other, etc. If this was an RC10, I would know exactly what I want, but with a Losi, I have yet to build one for myself.

The JRx2 was way more interesting to me personally. The pro would be a better driver. Neither are really rare imo, but the 5 link draws more attention.

I’d build up both

[Basher67]

I don't think I have enough parts to complete both builds right now. I did a quick look at all the parts I have and It looks like I can salvage the parts I need to complete the Jrx2. A trailing arm car would make a very nice addition to the collection.

Oh man, the rust is real. Not jealous on that one.

[GoMachV]

Eh, just spray it down with wd40 and wait a few days

[mytimac]

I usually use Krud Kutter Rust Remover. But man, it could take weeks or months on that one.

[Basher67]

I'm cursed when it comes to the JRx2. The other parts car I have is not much better. Everyone I find looks like it has been left in the backyard for a few years.

[GoMachV]

And it’s got the wrong chassis. Probably started out as a truck. The jrxt had the long chassis

[Basher67]

Aaahhh crap. Both chassis are the same. Does that mean The new one is a JRxT pro? Did those even exist?

[GoMachV]

Jrxt had the long chassis like that. It’s a later one too, because of the servo saver cutout. I think they were the same as pro so im sure it’s a jrxt. They didn’t do a pro truck, went right to the lxt and junior t.

[Mr. ED]

The h-arm conversion came out as an upgrade for the jrx2 before the pro was out. But I'm going on long-term memory, so I may get corrected over this.

JRXT I bet, you can see faint white lines on chassis from the Dirt Shields I think.

[Basher67]

So if I understand correctly, with the chassis I have here, I have the option of building a JRxT or JRx pro. They both used the longer chassis? To build a trailing arm JRx2 I would have to source the shorter chassis?
