here is a build i have been very eager to complete and acquiring the correct part's was no easy task, that i can tell you all. as highway racer(roger) has just completed a thread on this buggy where all the details are written stating all the differences i won't rattle on. enjoy!!!
correct parts in my build
mini front bumper
long front shock tower
long front shocks
long rear shocks(springs are purple)
thin top shock collars
spindle, no set screw
turnbuckles with middle nut's
long steering sector arm
black steering
original jrx2 battery holder
no spacer behind shock tower
old style wing mount's
brass top shaft
rear hub carrier's with correct hinge pins
jrx2 grey spur gear
short rear axle's(black)
new type pivot block
jr's choice motor
jrx2 labelled motor plate
also added 1989/90 victor engineering esc, kr-290a ko reciever and a ko 712 fet servo
thanks man! it's taken a long time and a lot hard work finding factory part's as compared to hop-ups which show up quite often. just like real car's i have removed the foam thing's as im told they were not out at this stage.
Really nice car Gary. This is my personal favorite of all Team Losi cars because this was my first Losi but not last one. Proformace did handle really well in Finish soft and bumpy tracks compared to AE RC10 or Kyosho Ultima. RC10 did have too short suspension arms and Kyosho Ultima was too short and didn't have enough front kickup. Schumacer Topcat was practically the only "enemy".
Gary, are front and rear shocks on Your car equal length, I mean are both front and rear shocks Jrx2 rear shocks?
What are purple rear springs?
What is the difference between "short rear axle's(black)" compared to steel color?
If You paint the body, do it a Jack Johnson replica and change motor to "Motown Missle".

What are purple rear springs? jrx-pro had purple rear springs too, the paint came off very easy that's why a lot of people dont know.
What is the difference between "short rear axle's(black)" compared to steel color? black axle's are very early jrx2 edtiton's

Jirka
you have some fond memories of the buggy that's awesome

That is one clean and nice built......i like it!
Just notice those losi stickers on the sliders looks cool!
thanks brother, a couple of decal's always set's a car off in my opinion.

I thought they all had the white core. The countersinks on the bagged chassis look white like all of the fiberglass core losi chassis I have. The only ones I have that isn't white core is the early jrx-2 short wheelbase plates
My early JRX-T chassis has the solid graphite chassis and non-slot, I assume that in Rogers posts regarding the ProFormance kit that it would include that chassis as well given the kit's timeline?

I don't think I've ever come across a long wheelbase chassis that didn't have a white stripe. I went and looked at all of mine and they all have the white core. now I've got something else to look for, thanks
The short wheelbase cars I have are a less distinct white core, not sure if it is fiberglass or the cut edges of fabric going in different directions, but the middle 1/2 of the chassis edge has a different pattern/look from the outer 1/4's

I only managed to find one pic from Jacks Johnson's JRX2-based car from RCCA december 1989. This is his 1989 ROAR mod nats winning car, which seems not to be an proformance kit car but an prototype car:

There has to be better pics from this car somewhere. At least I have seen Jack's car (probably this same as in RCCA pic) in cover of Competition Plus or RCMC magazine between two torches and the cars antenna was on fire!

Not necessarily. I just finished building my proformance kit and it has the white frp core plate as pictured in the first post. The box was open and building started already when I got it. mine is in the corrected "proformance" box, not the early "proformanance" misspelled box. Could it be that even this short production item came in more than one variation?
Here goes. This will be a mostly stock build of a JRX2 Proformance buggy. However, I couldn't help but finally open up my Uber rare gold Losi shock bodies.
I removed the mount on top of the transmission case. I feel it's a much cleaner look...

Did you use a different screw for the steering brace? Mine seemed to make the steering bind but it could have been operator error. And do those shock cartridges work a lot better than stock?
I'm after some direction for my JRX build. A while back, I purchased an Ebay JRX Pro with the idea of restoring it to run at this year's Vintage Festival. After receiving the car, I noticed a lot of...
I wanted to post some information about the Jrx2 Proformance kit.
The proformance kit is basically converts the x2 into a pro. The kit came out before the jrx pro (like the lxt conversion came out before the lxt kit).
When upgrading the original jrx2 to a pro using the proformance kit what shocks are used in the front? The original short body (.6)? I know the production jrx pro uses a long shock and shaft (.9). There is a post on here with the entire upgrade...

That was perfect! The box clarifies that there are long shocks used in the proformance kit in the front. Those gold shocks are super nice I have a set on a stellar jrx pro se
(Again) I have tried to collect some information and parts for my next project before making it public. I try to to make this the most important/best project that I will ever make. The project will be Team Losi's Jrx2 Proformance kit prototype car...
Hey guys so the other day i found my dads old jrx2 he built when he was a kid but never got it running, so i thought id try and buy the parts for it to get it running. I'm sorta new to this so any help would be appreciated! I ran into a problem with...

This will be my first Jrx2 build , just picked this up locally over the weekend along with a small box of parts. Looks like all the parts are still there to reassemble the 5 link. Performance and durability wise which is the better set up to use and...

Our local hobby shop charges a premium for vintage parts. You can hardly get buggy rims there any more, much less 2.0. :x
