This car started out in the late 80s as a standard original JRX2.....me and my brother raced against it at our local tracks quite often back in the 80s....finally acquired it from the original owner. Going to do a full restoration back to original (close anyway) with 5 links etc.

Dirtier than the pub bar maid

Early car
Or at least was.
Did he keep all the original parts?

not many....have most of the 5 link stuff tho...gonna be a pricey resto....these jrx2 parts are high!

huge progress today....pics comin soon

Its got a Jrx-T/Pro chassis and front shock tower, and a nifty idea for the front hexes. I'm interested to see what you do with it

The chassis has been reshaped to look like a jrx2 chassis, the hole is filled...its been refinished and drying right now...i will get a pic of it tommorrow. The front axles, c-hubs, steering arms have been put back to stock JRX2 parts i had NIB. The New body fits the chassis resl nice. i wish i could find some jrx2 wing buttons

brand new gears including on new ball diff with new rings and balls

Ignore front hinge pins....got correct length ordered.
About as far as i can go till parts get here. Need 3 more 1/4 in balls to finish the 5 link on other side....real pisser

That chassis! Looks great!

Working on the body

front hinge pins should be in today still waitn on balls to finish 5 link...sux.
This cars a mild runner so went with modern esc and lipo. battery holder from Factory Works...always buy products from him whenever i can

I did the body, was real hard too.
