simple as that really.. look for some traditional sanyo nicd SCR cells to finish off my shelf queen. Any ideas?

What we need, is an informed JRX2 expert to update the wiki page for the buggy. It's pretty bad right now.

if my memory serves me right.

Except that the JRX2 wasn't released in 89.

These are all the same electronics I had in my original jrx-2 back in the day.

Awesome, where did you find 1400s in such asesome condition? I can't find anything like this.

Thanks for the tip, guys! I think the novak 4, S148, and NER-2 will be the way to go. now to find them in condition worthy of a shelf queen! You're right, the orange will go nicely with the x2. Can't wait to get this thing finished! Now.. how to find a revolution? I might be able to settle for a pri...

I want to find some pristine period correct electronics for my shelf queen. I admit complete ignorance of electronics of that period. I remember my car, and remember I ran an airtronics XL2P radio... but couldn't tell you anything about ESCs, Servos, or Recievers of the day, and woudl appreciate any...

Tihs one in particular is a never-run shelf queen. I have another im restoring to be a runner in future vintage class.

So i pulled the shocks apart, and chucked each one into my dremel. Started with 220 grit with light pressure, which knocked all the big stuff off... then switched to 1200. Then, using the wire wheel brush, I dremel'd the threads clean. They came out pretty dang good. There are some deeper pits that ...

Awesome... I think I have some 600... need to get some 1200.

How do you recommend getting the gunk off? I was thinking about chucking the shafts into my dremmel and plolishing with metal polish and a terry cloth... or will I need something stronger like a wire wheel from my dremmel?

I have another question for you guys... so the only thing I can really find wrong with my new buggy, is right where the shock eyelets are screwed over the shock shafts, there appears to be some corrosion. Is this rust? What do you recommend to get it off? Does this indicate that perhaps it has origi...

Wurth rubber care, huh. Doesn't look TOO expensive... Maybe I will give that a shot. Photos.. yes, well... I am debating on whether to do a small little 5link photoshoot now, or wait until I obtain a gear cover, and electronics. I am hoping to put in some period correct electronics, and a revolution...

So I just got my mint / never-run JRX2 in the mail today... man is this thing gorgeous. Original brittle orange 5 spoke wheels, the works. My question is, what are you guys doing with the rubber? Are you treating it with something to keep it soft or are you letting it just sit? The tires on this car...

Read the rules dude , sorry I offended you , it would not be the first time i have done that to a losi guy . We , as a group , enforced a rule that everyone has to follow . Most of us on this forum have know each other a long time , and rules are what makes this forum great . Post a picture , give ...

Not the "fun factor" really- and Cpt America your post about yourself and your car and the interest to restore it is exactly what brings us together here, it's how we all found this place and why we all hang around. But we have been through that question a bunch, and there is no "cor...
