I am in a similar situation to what ChisaiKuso described above - I am pulling a ton of old Losi stuff out of storage and I am not an expert on what parts are from what model.
- I plan to build a few for the shelf, and sell a few if I can.
Questions:
1) Were the bodies for JRX -Pro, -Pro SE, and Junior-2, interchangeable?
- I can identify the short JRX-2 body, but I have some longer bodies and I don't know what to look for to identify them.
2) And for JRX trucks - did the evolution go from JRX-T, to Junior-T - or were there other models in between?
- For the truck bodies - were JRX-T and Junior-T different? They both seem kinda short/square truck bodies?
- Then the LXT was third model to come out, right? And it's body looks different?
3) Did anyone other than Sassy Chassis make an aluminum chassis for JRX ?
- And did they make both long (-Pro), and short (JRX-2) versions?
I will try to submit some pictures of bodies chassis that I have soon.
Thanks for any further info!
"1) Were the bodies for JRX -Pro, -Pro SE, and Junior-2, interchangeable?

- The Pro SE body is much narrower and only really works on the molded chassis. It has a bump out on the left hand side of the body for clearance for the steering and also sort of a long scoop like feature on the nose
Pro body can be made to fit any of the 3 chassis with extra trimming if you really wanted to and is probably my favorite of the 3 for it's simple and clean design.
Junior 2 is very similar to the Pro but has an added long scoop area like the Pro SE but isn't as narrow as the Pro SE as you can technically still use 5 link parts with it's chassis. I haven't personally owned one so I can comment on what it would fit on.
"2) And for JRX trucks - did the evolution go from JRX-T, to Junior-T - or were there other models in between?

Both the Junior 2 and T were marketed as budget models and not really evolutions. That said it did come out a year before but was not replaced by the LXT as it was sold along side it.
" - Then the LXT was third model to come out, right? And it's body looks different?"
- LXT replaced the JRXT as the comp grade Race Truck. It ditched the buggy arms and links for longer truck specific ones among other things. IT also got rid of the giant bumper/bodymount thing the JRXT and JRT used
I don't know about the last question.
