What do I need?
I have a fairly clean and intact JRX Pro SE buggy and was wondering what I would need to convert it into a JrxT. I figured the front and rear arms would need replacing as well as needing axles for the rear. Wheels and tires as well. Can someone confirm and throw some advice on where to get the parts I need if it’s doable? Many thanks.

Re: What do I need?
Maybe you are thinking of the LXT truck? ..which is closer to the Pro SE.
JRXT would need chassis, 5 link parts, f arms, body mounts, shock towers, .9 shocks.
LXT would need all susp arms, f spindles & carriers, longer telescoping drive shafts, shock towers, .9 f shocks, f body mount.
Axles are all the same. I am probably forgetting a few things. Quick and easy would be to put on JRXT body mounts, wheels & tires and keep the H-arm rear suspension.
Here is a link to the manuals over at Vintagelosi.com

Re: What do I need?
I will most likely do the body mounts and wheels/tires and call it a day. This way I can go back and forth as desired. This was to be a shelf queen that I take out once in a while for a vintage get together for fun runs.

In that case..yeah, get the JRXT body mounts. A-4042 front and A-4044 rear.

A&L makes (made?) wheels with a really wide offset so you could widen a buggy to truck width.RABIDFOX50 wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 11:59 am I will most likely do the body mounts and wheels/tires and call it a day.
