Anything that fits in the stock transmission should fit in this, this is a direct replacement for the stock case.

Just thought I would park this here heh.

It was a general question, not specifically about your case. I know the diff doesn't work due to the different axles.

I am going to start printing some H arms tonight however!

Why thank you sir, and yeah top shaft is same part number between the two models.

I just had a though about the bodies we are needing, what if we take a 3d scan of the uncut 10th scale body and size them appropriately? This is about the only place a 3d scan might work for making these parts

That would be awesome. The Mini Jrx2 body seriously irritates me. The windshield is so wide. I was going to pour plaster into the body, reshape it and then pop out a proper body from my cheesy vacuum table. Then I wanted to order proper decals that don't say Mini on them.

Working on another missing piece for replicating other models.. I have 1 and 2 modeled already, still need to do 3 and 4.

The files have been uploaded, I have tried to replicate the precision of the rear toe blocks as close as I possibly can, #1 would be the 'stock' one to use as a stock build with the H arms. I would (and have) oriented them with the numbers facing up when printing with a hot .2 nozzle.

If anyone has already smoked your tires and replaced them to something new, I am looking for some used wheels for destructive disassembly so I can model some logo wheels correctly!

Just did this up for a reference as there is no listing anywhere. This is not all the screws, but it is good for basic reference.

Well that doesn't look like a Losi part... Hmm.

So I couldent resist.
I bought the red one, Figured as it's my first ever Losi!..
I have a few mods in mind.

Swapping the wheel nuts for white nylone.
Thinking of painting the receiver/esc case orange.
Try to source mini-T 1.0 springs.
I've ordered JRX2 decals and panel decals in 1/16 scale from MCI. We'll see how they fit.
Ordered 1,5 mm Kydex for a front bumper.
will order 1,3 mm piano wire for proper wing mount.
And the Reedy Mini Mod 19T. Looks so much better with a open end-bell. I know it's not a Losi or Trinity motor, but i got a good deal on it.

Update on the 1/16 scale Team Losi JRX2.
Painted the rx/esc orange. Was not able to swap the negative motor wire to a blue one as the rx/esc is filled with epoxy.
Deans conector.
Fabricated a front bumper out of 1.5 millimeter Kydex.
White nylon wheel nuts.
And a couple of stickers.
I figure the chassis is done. Moving on to body and wing

Great work Chris! I hadn't seen this post but I originally planned on making a replica of my first Truck: an LXT with a JRX chassis, Looks like you beat me to the punch with making the models though! I guess I shouldn't have procrastinated on picking up the Mini JRX2. I may pick up a few more of these later to do different variants too. My first R/C was a used JRX Pro SE which i might want to replicate later but I unfortunately don't own that car anymore.

I am going to shift my model focus to some cosmetics for now. Like a dummy Hydra-drive to cover up the outside slipper assembly.

That and figuring out ways to tighten up the front. Seems Losi uses undersized hinge pins so there's a lot of slop up front especially at the castor blocks. Already fixed a bunch of slop in the steering by using a bunch of shims on the belcranks and tighten up the rear a bit shims as well.

White nylon wheel nuts...

Hello sandkil,
Can you give some details - brand / part number - for the white nylon wheel nuts you used?

Thanks!
