Hi All,

As a follow up to the discussions on Junior 2/JRX Pro SE shell options, attached is my JRX Pro, built from parts to virtually SE spec - the eagle-eyed will spot the wrong wheels!

Anyway, the Losi #8042 XXL shell fits fantastically, just ignore the lower cut lines. These shells are officially discontinued by Horizon, but I have found a few over the last year in various hobby shops.

I hope you like it

fantastic paint job Tom, you did that yourself? I guess not... some off-body pics? though I know what's underneath

Nice.

I have that same project in the works. I am going for the 5 link rear suspension though. Do you think this body sits high enough for the 5 link side bulkheads to clear?

It's just stock JRX stuff underneath David.. all shiny and new though!

No, I didn't do the paint on this one, it was done by fellow RC Racer mag contributor Steve Brooke.. I bought it off him for a great price! I must get him on this forum as i reckon he has the UK's biggest collection of NIP '10 spares - like I mean BOXES of NIP gold shock bodies

Mr. bngiles - the 5 link should clear - obviously you'll have to trim the back of the shell to clear the links, but it might just go. the great thing is these shells are so much easier to find than JRX-2 and JRX-Pro lids.

Rapidly becoming the same as the X2 and Pro bodies, if not already there, here in the US.

That is sad to hear I remember going into a hobby shop about 3/4 years ago and seeing a stack of about 10 of these shells (and 8008s and XXTs).

When I asked about them again recently, the owner said he binned them all as even at £5 ($10) he couldn't shift them...

Wow Tom thats awesome

Thanks Matt!

Goes nice with my early XX no?

how about some pictures with out the body? what rear shock tower is that? it looks different than my Pro ?

Yup i'll get some topless pics done The tower is a stock JRX Pro SE..

Still not decided on whether I like the shocks on the front or back of the rear tower....

I have never seen that one do you have the part number. I thought the SE had the standard Pro tower. like on mine thanks

What length front shocks are you running on the front of your SE? Are they the .6" or the .9"? Hopefully .9, as I have a set of those.... I looked at the parts listing, and it called for .6" in the front. Is that correct????

I really like the paint jobs on your cars Tom and this is no exception

Thanks Ed! I am a stickler for a pretty buggy it must be said...

The shocks are the same length as the XX.. Shorter than a Pro.. I'm guessing .9 as they are not as short as a Junior 2 or JRX2.. I may be corrected on this though...

standard buggy fronts on the SE = .6, that is what is on mine anyways.
