So this is my first rebuild/project. When I was a bit younger my buddy had one of these and he was always smoking me...got it off ebay some time ago and the long winter in chicago has motivated me to do something productive w/ my time
need to work on the photo taking a bit...sorry
i would like to sometime down the road have this ready for a brushless combo...would a sidewinder combo be to much?
actually its a junior 2 buddy moulded rear shock tower, h arm rear, moulded chasiss, different body etc someone added a long front shock set-up by the looks
well if that isn't the slightest bit embarrassing...maybe u can help me identify the chassis on the right then?(crossing fingers...plz be jrx2 plz be jrx2)
alrighty i have cleaned her up a bit and am going to start looking for some parts.
all the turnbuckles have begun to rust. can anybody recommend a replacement kit?
i plan on bashing around w/ this car once completed, should i find the traditional rear suspension or should i use something more modern?
gear box cover...don't have one...really like the clear one's...any suggestions?

Go 5 Link rear suspension,mate! Ya gotta! Just GOTTA!!!
gonna try but the 5 link seems to be like a unicorn
Never! Dig Joel Johnson's Optima Mid that he raced with a Losi 5 Link rear suspension on it!
It works well and to be honest,is my favorite feature of the JRXT & JRXT.
Might as well get a JRX Pro,or a Junior 2 if the 5 Link isn't your thang.
sorry for the complete newb question but here it is anyways...i recently picked up a brushless sidewinder motor and speed control kit...looking to install it and I am unsure if I need to solder the batter connector to the wire or just tighten the connector around the wire..any help would be greatly appreciated

depends on what connectors you are using, some are soldered, some crimped. If you are using the white standard plugh I would crimp them together and then solder them as the crimps tend not to hold well unless you use a specialized crimper.
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....

That's pretty flipping rad Sir, welcome to the board :D
An old racing buddy was clearing out a shed, and sent me a box of AE parts, along with a couple older vehicles for free, to save them from the dumpster....

good to have you aboard matey, you will find this forum very rewarding im sure...so are you a losi or associated man? :mrgreen: only kidding dont answer that :lol: best of luck with the resto's
So for somebody with 20 years of experience with Associated cars, it feels a little like trading in my X-wing for a TIE fighter, but... having recently sold a never-run RC10CE because I already have 2 others, I wanted to try something new.
So I bid...

It's kind of on the back burner; I had a sudden urge to build another scale 4x4 truck, so I'm working on that right now. But it's a long, wet winter ahead, so I'm sure...
