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...

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?

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.

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.

I just got one of bluegroves jrx2 bodies in the mail today and the quality is outstanding.Im very happy with it.I will be ordering more bodies from them soon.

Got one coming. Not happy I missed out on Erich's, but at least this is available and my 2 will finally be covered.

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....

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.

It will fit the junior and Pro se not the pro

So the 8008 is too narrow for the Pro?

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...

Gotcha, thanks Roger.

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.

sorry one more question: How thick are these bodies? would they hold up for active use?
