My JRX2 restore/race build

[RogueIV]

Getting the runner ready for the Kinwald Classic this weekend. Going up against B2s and XXs so I doubt it'll be all that competitive but it will be fun! Hoping my 88/89 vintage Tekin ESC600 Pro XT holds up, was surprised it even worked lol

Love it! What's with the Cap on the motor leads though? shouldn't that be on the battery leads instead?

Nope, on the motor leads. Used a cap from my Hobbywing Justock ESC since I had it handy.

interesting, never seen that one before. Learn something new everyday!

Welp, qualified first in the Vintage B main and had the lead til the very last lap when I buffed it lol With the exception of a turnbuckle the old girl didn't let me down all weekend. So fun actually racing a JRX2 after after 30+ years. Good times!

Decided to show my shelfer some love today with:

Lunsford trailing arms
A&L/Factory Works front and rear shock towers
JG front body mount
MIP bellcranks
Andy's front arms
RPM upper shock bushings

More to come

Looks good! I always like the lunsford trailing arms.

What was the benefit of Lunsford's kit over the stock 5 link?

I've heard that the Lunsford kit takes care of the 5-link lean though don't know for sure and I'm not going to test them lol

What's better than 1 5-link runner? Why 2 of course

What hub and knuckles are up front on the JR2 chassis?

[ChocoTaco73]

Schumacher Cougar LD2, so I can use my modern hex AE offset front wheels. I'll most likely use my JC Racing wheels for the other, want to keep that one mostly stock.

Is that a direct fit? I wonder if I can do the same with the Storm ST parts and my LXT so I don't have to use my wheel adapters.

I had to drill out the Schumacher caster blocks to 1/8 in order for the hinge pins to fit but that's it.

Amazing! Thanks for the info.

More to come but this year's Kinwald Classic 5-link build is moving right along
