It actually looks pretty cool with that JRX-2 front tower But...........the correct one will work so much better

Yea I like how it looks with the buggy towers.
nice job.

if you use the modern double-o-ring shock carts you can get almost as much travel out of the short shocks as you would with the original jrx-t long fronts with the big cartridges.

Thanks guys, it does look quite streamlined with the buggy tower, I don't think it will look quite right when the front body mount and body go on so a JRXT tower it will be getting

I ran my 2010 Vonats JRXT with the .6" stroke shocks and the Pro SE tower. They worked perfectly. Unless you are just wanting it to be truly correct, the long shocks are definetely not necessary.

You have a very nice truck now, BTW!

Thank you Sir.

I'm not a box stockaholic (TBH I mostly wouldn't know what was stock or not ) but I do like to have one example looking stock ish and I've got the stuff to do it so on this one I think I will.

I put the buggy body on it to see how it would look for laughs, I now know why Losi stayed away from the Tamiya Mad Bull market

The box show up yet?

Not yet Sir.

That damn Reggie

More likely the damn customs

This is a real nice looking JRXT

Is it based on the buggy that is in your Tamiyaclub showroom? It was one of my favourites on T.C, & had a really nicely painted shell IIRC... kinda sad to see its demise into a truck... but hey - the truck is a belter!

Thank you and yes it is but do not fret I have another LWB JRX2 that the body will live on

Anyone available for an hour or so to pop round for a spot of baby sitting while I nail this thing together

This little buggy has been all over the place

My Losi collection started with this nasty thing which was the original donor car for this project Whch evolved in to this with a clean and the addition of a nip chassis But my yearning was for a JRXT hence this thread and with the help of a number of members it morphed in to this However all was thrown up in to the air with the arrival of this which carried an almost new set of components So with a bit of swapping around I've ended up with a mint JRXT

...........and here it is

Now every project of mine leaves a few left overs and here they are thrown together with a coupe of other bits from my recent parts haul
