RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

This is a JRX-2 I bought new back in the eighties - I raced it up until 1989 (or maybe 1990), then threw it in the closet... until the R/C virus flared-up again in 2002.

I rebuilt the shocks and transmission at that time, otherwise, this is the exact set-up I raced with in the eighties.

Please enjoy some pictures:

What kinda motor is that?

Neat car, nice patina. What are your future plans for it?

you certainly have a nice collection of x2! cool as.

Actually, the motor is not period correct, it is just the shell of a later model (1990's) Trinity stock motor with most of the end bell disassembled.

Would've looked more like this, as new:

Yes, this is real, 20 year-old patina, not the re-created "faux-tina" that they paint on the "Trucks!" show on Spike TV... ((To be honest, I really enjoy the Powerblock on Spike TV.))

My plans for this buggy include a good ground-up cleaning, newer electronics, and plenty of gentle run time out in the front yard... I don't want to alter the basic rolling chassis, since it was my old racer.

Sounds like your putting the old girl out to pasture... LOL

Very nice! What was the wheelbase on the JRX-2?

Oh man!!! I bought a JRX2 brand new too! They were on close out, and going cheap. I use to race dirt oval with an rc10 and that pink Monster Horsepower was the house motor. Cool car, looks clean!!

Looks to have had the rear H arm conversion and pro front tower,did you notice an inprovement with these?
