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

Next up in the 'to do' pile is this:

Bought around summer last year as you see it and it's time to get stuck in with it Not yet taken it to bits but first impressions seem good. Needs a new shell, hopefully I'll be able to find the correct wheels and the correct dampers have already been purchased for it. This will become another vintage runner so I wont go all out making it beautiful but the aim is to have a nice clean runner.

It looks pretty nice. I had one of those as my first attempt at running buggy class. I wound up selling after just a short time, I preferred my 10T. It's one of only two of my cars that I ever sold. I'll buy another some day.

Just the opposite for me but I had a gold RC10 then got a JRX2.

Schumacher shocks up front? Interesting

Will restore nicely and make a nice runner!

Cheers chaps. I shall be getting on it with later today or tomorrow or the weekend possibly. Just got an imperial hex set so that's a start.

Well, just got it out of storage and it looks worse than I remember with thick rust on anything metal and certainly a hell of a lot dirtier than I remember. It also appears getting hold of the correct style shell and wheels will be harder than I imagined as I think they differ from the standard JRX2.

So I have a couple of options. Sink a load of time and money into this one or look out for a better one. I'll keep you all posted.

Sometimes it's better to hold out for a better one but the parts are out there so you just need to keep looking and be patient. I received two JRX-2's in a trade a few years ago along with some spares and it was only after taking them both apart and cleaning everything up that I realised that things weren't as bad as I first thought.

I ended up with an nearly new looking JRX-2 and what would have been a runner but I sold them on eBay a couple of years ago much to my regret now.

Are ya gonna run old school electronics? Or go with a newer setup? Lipo? I personally have an old lxt with and airtronics xl2p radio.. charged some 3600's and the truck started glitching really bad..

Looks like it's a converted x2 into a JRX Proformananance kit. The JRX-Pro had different battery box, rear hub carriers, wheels and bellcranks, plus different cut lines on the shell-

Very cool!
