You nailed it. The front springs I have are 2.5". The manual says the correct part number is LOSA5100, but Google tells me that's 1.5" which seems too small. I believe 2" is the right size for the Pro. Am I right? If so I think I'll look for LOSA5132 which are the green 3.5 rates unle...

An issue I've had with steering is if the tie rods are threaded too far into the ball cups. You may not notice any difference inside the cup, but just the slightest intrusion of the tie rod can bind up the ball joint. Other than that, you may be able to try a ball bearing steering set.

the esc is in blinky mode, if the other is not flashing the red light, it is possible that it is programmed for lots of timing, which can improve the performance greatly compared to stock timing. The trackstar combo I have runs the fan all the time, so I don't know if that is correct or not, but I ...

Secondly, I'd like to send a big F you to the same group. :lol: You guys need to clearly warn new folks that this is a total rabbit hole and ...

Dumb question -- what are you using for wing wire? I'm working on a JRX resto and this is one of the last missing pieces.

Thanks!

RC10 Rerelease wheels work perfectly, H-arm or five link. Cheap and easy to come by, you'll need a small spacer on front axle to move it out just a bit. Rear is direct fit with pins and perfect offset. As seen here http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=42116 Thanks! Will I need different...

Found my answer in the Losi variations thread. found another variation tonight. I was rebuilding/upgrading my VONATS racer: adding a slipper clutch and thorp aluminum BB diff gear. When putting the whole thing back together I noticed that the inner slipper plate did not sit as far down as it should....

Thanks, guys. I just received some of the slipper parts I ordered and now I'm not sure if it'll work. I'm using the longer slipper input shaft (a3120) along with the rear back plate (a3121), but the back plate does not fit inside the output hole of the gearbox. i looked up some instructions: http://...

Thanks again for all the input. Here's an update on my project: Received the car and it's in pretty good shape from what I can tell. All of the pictures below are before doing any cleaning. I'm still missing some parts so it'll be a few weeks before it's running. In the meantime, I'm going to clean ...

Thank you very much for the input. I spent way too much time looking for XX transmission parts last night and it's definitely tough. Finding parts for the dual slipper was easier. I'm thinking i'll go with the dual slipper and then pick up a separate LRM transmission for backup/parts. Any recommenda...

Getting back into R/C after a 20+ year break. I grew up with a JRX Pro and loved it, but stupidly didn't hold on to any of my gear. Found a roller on ebay and pulled the trigger. My goal is to rebuild it so I can have some fun, see if my son is interested enough to want to build his own cars and the...
