Any guesses?

Wow, that looks like it was attacked by Spiderman!

That plastic rear wheel nut does seem like a JRX2 indicator. It came with a stick radio?

Got another Novak XXL receiver, a lot of bearings, some heat shrink, servo saver, turnbuckles, and shims.

The receiver needs a new antenna wire but works fine. I already have a spool of Airtronics wire.

All I can say is that it came well wrapped.

You are both correct in that it is a Losi. It´s a Jrx Pro.
Not many of those around over here in Sweden. But one showed up at an auction site and I got it for $120.

It has a home made carbon body! And it´s a complete car with a Futaba stick radio. //Johan

Frankentruck and I did a little switch-a-roo with some AE blue front wide axles I had and he hooked it up with a few sets of these 3D printed 10mm shock clamps and spring cups to replace them gaudy black spacers that come stock with the blue AE shocks. Shown here on the RC10T4.3, which has been recently disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and currently going through a handful of upgrades.
In the background, a pile of new-to-me motors and esc's I haven't got around to posting yet.

My 2 year long search for a RC10T4.1 factory team body has finally come to an end. About dam time

Recently been on a kick scooping up Novak brushless motors and esc's. So it only made all the sense in the world for one of these.

Unbelievable.... Australia Post delivery on a SUNDAY!!!!

Some parts from my good mate Jason.... - Four Tamiya TBLE-02S ESCs
- One Tamiya TBLE-04s ESC
- Speed Passion 17.5 Ultra Sportsman V2 motor
- Yeah Racing sensor cable
- PB Mini Mustang set of lower arms, and a couple of diff screws
- M Power 4000mAh LiPo race pack (not pictured, because I forgot )

Plenty of work to do!

Still shocked this delivery came through on a Sunday, at 7:45am......

Nothing like buying a whole car because you want the body for another project and everyone is out of stock. Now I just have to hope to find the body in stock before getting around to building it.

I'd be interested to hear what you think about this motor analyzer after using it.

That is really cool!

It's recommended if you have brushless motors. Glad I got it. Novak Velociti 3.5R spun 76,400 rpm @ 7.2V. Had a large draw at 5.5 amps, not sure if that's high or normal for such rpm's. Anyways, it's a good tool to have.

found a nice haul on FB marketplace last week.

Holy smokes, Joe. Did you rob a bank??

Sorta makes me want to join Face Book.








Nay, not really.

Technically....I received all this just last night! I live overseas and have spent the last 6-8 months ticking off items on my wish list and have finally been back to the family house in the U.S. to bring it all home. There was a LOT of explaining to do at airport security...lol! Thanks to great sellers and old school R/C enthusiasts from ebay, fb groups, small OG hobby shops and members of this group....I can finally post this photo to the thread! Every purchase went smoothly and each find led me to great conversations with other's that share the love of vintage R/C. Special thanks to RC10resto for helping me connect with the best and hardest item to find. It's in the photo too! Looking forward to breaking all this down and posting progress in the near future.

Finally got a chance to get into the office and pick up a few items that have been waiting for me.... much better than Christmas, no socks!!! Includes five sets of rally wheels and tyres, two sets of display / show / drift wheels and tyres, a new USB soldering iron (for fine, fiddly electronics work), a carbon fibre Tamiya TB01 top plate, and a big bag of 1:12 wheels and foams. More parts fodder for various projects.... and some trade bait too

That's an incredible haul Alex.
Where do you find 12th scale wheels and foams these days (for RC12)? Does anyone still make them??
