Jrx2 vs jrxt chassis

Post by Wizemanne »

Had a jrx2 growing up and am looking to get a jrxt now.

How can you tell the difference between a jrx2 conversion to a jrxt vs an original jrxt chassis. I read that the angle for the jrx2 is 20 degrees vs 30 degrees for a jrxt in a previous forum. But how can you tell by looking at a picture? Is there something that gives it away.

Also from a collectors stand point how big of a deal is the jrxt chassis with the slot like the jrx pro vs. no slot for a jrxt.

Thanks

The chassis sides of a Pro / JRXT chassis are straight. They don't have that curve like the jrx2

Derek really worked hard on that chassis and breathed in alot of graghite with no mask to make that chassis look like a jrx2. Please read his build thread.
