REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
Team Bluegroove are doing reproduction JRX2 bodies WITH wing and are selling them on eBay for a very reasonable US$29.95!
Here's the link:

Man,I was waiting for someone to pull their finger out and do this...Kind of a bummer i bought one of Erich's for NZ$120,but no worries.
I bought a Team Bluegroove BigWig repro body a few weeks ago and it is crisp and sharp.
An EXACT copy-I have an OG Tamiya shell to compare it to and they got it RIGHT on the money!
(Yeah,I'm buying every part new off eBay to build a BigWig...Not sure why!
Just something different...
Nearly there,too...

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
I bought a body from them for my Tamiya Wild one, it looks great? to bad I lost intrest in the project and it now all boxed up. but I got a Erich Jrx2 I am happy with that one also. the only thing I wasnt happy with was the wing? and itwould be fine on a runner.
i have several stock Losi V wings so I just used one of those?

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
I ordered a Team Bluegroove JRX2 to see how it looks. I wasn't here when Erich was taking orders for his but I may see if he has some left and do a side by side comparo.

Just got one! I have never done a box art body, I think I will try one this time. I got a decal sheet in another auction, so I should be able to do a nice box art repro. Can't wait to get it.

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
Can't say enough good things about the Team Bluegroove BigWig body I bought.
I'd love to see a side-by-side comparo with a Bluegroove and one of Erich's bodies.

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
Would this body fit the Jrx-Pro? I know the Pro's chassis is longer so I know it wouldnt be a perfect fit. I'm tired of looking for a pro body that wont cost me a fortune....

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
I was told by another member that a-8008 body which is currently available at Horizon will fit the pro and it is less than $20. The 8008 is the body for the XX also we measured up the fit of a Junior 2 body and it fit the Pro very nicely but they are tough to find. I personally am waiting for a member here to use a very nice mold he has made and repro some Pro bodies for our consumption.

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
The jrx pro and the junior 2 chassis are the same width. The reason the XX body will not fit a stock jrx pro is because of the rear shock tower. The XX body dips down where the body mounts to the rear shock tower. The pro SE and junior 2 have a grove in the rear shock tower while the pro is straight accross.
So, the body can fit a pro, but it will sit about 1/4 of an inch higher. One solution would be to use the pro SE rear tower on the car.
hope this helps...

Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
I've recently picked up a JRX-T for a runner, thinking of converting it to a buggy - is is the same chassis outline as the Pro? It seems longer and straighter on the sides than the original JRX-2 I have.
Re: REPRO JRX2 BODIES!!!
sorry one more question: How thick are these bodies? would they hold up for active use?
