I scraped my Jrx@ project for a something a bit more modern, a Pro SE. Thanks to Bearrickster for the body as well as the chassis for this build. I have a retro fit tranny that will be installed in this car. The shock bodies and motor plate were hard ano'd hard grey. I still have yet to start the final assembly on the car.
The bidy is a XX xcelorator and I am still in the process of making it fit. The body fits very well considering it was manufactured for a completely different buggy.
I will be installing a set of the nylon arms I machined and intend on dying them black to stick with the theme of my other buggies. I hope to get this car finished up in the next few weeks so i can start racing it.
Tell the Dr your eyes are still good. The rear shocks in the pics are not ano'd. I am still in the process of mocking up before I run with the final build.
I believe Jake has B4 wheels on that machine. If you want spokes, you could use B4 rulux wheels...
I'm going to switch my car to RB5 front spindles/hubs/axles, and use HPI Ultra 5 wheels. Will need a hex in the rear but will look sort of original the the x2.
ooooh. I like those HPI's. Are they Dyable? Which adapter sprue do I need to run those. I will probably have to drill out the fronts for bearings a la m_vice eh?.
You guys are correct, the wheels are B4 wheels. I figured it would be best to make these work since i have a B4 and an RC10 running B4 wheels. No need to have multiple wheels lying around.
The body has been painted and i still need to do a bit of work to get this one ready. All the parts are in, just waiting to get built. The retrofit is completely rebuilt and will be running a B4 slipper on the tranny.
That's a sweet build - the xcellerator bod fits awesome on that tub!!! I think what's missing (barring the front bulkhead screws as pointed out already ) is hop-up turnbuckles... the stock Losi ones from bitd aren't on my favourites list, really, but then again to each his own
This thing should be able to run with the more modern cars no problem
Very nice!

Does anyone have both towers that they can take some measurements on? I'm trying to find out how much higher the top set of shock mount holes on the pro tower(not se) are compared to the set of holes on the jrx2 tower? I have some long shocks(not...
I have 2 versions, one with wire holder and one without. Wire holder one not printed yet, but will look just similar to our other version with wire holder.

I had these original bodies painted by Mr. Gary Kyes who also painted many of the early box art bodies including the original JRx2 and JRxPRO. I'll post pictures as soon as I find the time to trim them, mount them up, and apply the original decals....

I love the JRXPro Box Art paint scheme, but its got to be the hardest one to do? :?
I just joined today and appreciate having this be my first post of hopefully several. I have been in and out of RC since I was a young teen and now that I am 46, I feel like that young teen again working on my Pro SE. Long story...

I stripped and recoated the links and ball studs for my pro and pro se last night using a Caswell black oxide system. It works great as long as parts are thoroughly clean and dry.
Does anyone know a place where I could get titanium upgrades in...
