Trying something new - JRX2

That's a nice haul, welcome to the dark side. We have better candy.

So this sprint car chassis... I thought at first it was a converted Kyosho Sideways because the cage is white plastic, but then I looked at some photos of the Sideways. Definitely not it. It's a molded cage, and it bolts to a nicely-finished aluminum plate that's drilled to accept Losi parts, so definitely mass-produced. Hardware is SAE, not metric.





My best guess is Custom Works, because the cage looks a lot like this one, only in white:

Can't seem to find any info, though. Anybody ever seen one?

Well, I opened up the gearboxes. I don't know what he was talking about with "metal gears," they look like the standard plastic ones to me. But all 3 gearboxes have full bearings, and two have what look like new (or nearly new) gears, and the third is totally usable.

With the addition of a few little bits and pieces, I can probably build 3 complete cars: a nice buggy, a sprint car, and a complete clunker made up of all the leftovers. Knowing me, that one will probably end up being my favorite...

the Thorpe metal gears are the same color as stock Losi gears (for the most part)...tap them to see

Quite a haul of parts! Certainly more than perhaps you had bargained for given what was shown in the ebay pics!

& I agree - my favourite JRX2 is my runner car built out of useable but not cosmetically perfect parts & a beat up old shell - I absolutely love it! The new built car look pretty on the shelf.... but the runner lives!

now that's one heck of a parts lot for $75

Couldn't resist a little "let's see what she can do" run... wow, this thing runs great! Has way more steering than an RC10. Quick, too, with an old Speedworks "Pole Position" motor. So far, I kinda like the "dark side"...

My candy wasn't good enough?

[markbt73]

Cookies, candy... Say, you guys aren't fattening me up so you can eat me, are you? Cause if so, I'm going back to RC10s...

You won't know till it is too late.... by then there will be no going back.

Keep driving the Losi, soon you will be "what's an AE?"

I have some AE vehicles but they seem to sit on the shelf. Of course so do my vintage losi vehicles till I get some more speedo's and servo's.

Any update on this JRX2 eBay haul? Would be great to see it all cleaned up.
