Wow, been a long time since I've seen a Novak connector like that one, man! I have a good amount of vintage ESCs and they sure built 'em right, back then. Still go like troopers. I FINALLY got an MTM Revolution motor! :D The label isn't perfect, but I'm going to work on it, and I'm just happy to hav...

Here is one of my projects I have, not really a resto since its in such good shape, but thought I would show it off.

Interesting buggy, no personal experience but it looks more like a ultima pro / triumph clone than traxxas. shocks, body style, and rear tower definitely look kyosho inspired to me.

I pre-ordered a red one today. Perfect or not, I'm very excited for this as my first real race R/C was a JRX-2!

Hopefully we'll see a JRX-T version next!

Thanks Losi! And bring on the 1/10 versions next please!

I have several. The fit is only as good as the designer made them. Some fit like originals, others require some fitting.

I've got a Shapeways shop myself , the plastic is on par with vintage parts for strength , not as good as modern carbon plastics , as above it really depends on the designer of the part , it works like this , I design a part and personally I home 3d print everything to be sure it's right , then I up...

A part that was made to be injection molded will rarely produce a good strong 3D print part. If you are having parts printed for shelf duty you might look at resin prints. The quality is amazing. For strong parts that can be used, you will likely find the parts made thicker and bulkier all around.

Shapeways parts are high quality but can get expensive pretty quickly. I haven’t tried any for the Jrx2 because I have wanted to keep those cars original. There are still a lot of common Jrx2 parts out there for restorations without resorting to 3d printed parts.

Not for long , with the 1/16 re re it's going to prompt a surge of interest in the full size car , parts are going to vanish as interest grows .

Yes..you do have a good point there. It is nice being able to find parts in 3D when not available elsewhere.

Thanks, everyone. It’s gonna be a shelf car. The item I’m considering are original type shock collars and the original battery box. Those are probably the two hardest parts to find originaI. I won’t mention how much I paid for a NIP battery box.. It’s a beautiful buggy when done though! https://i.p...

Those are fairly simple designs that would be hard to screw up too far , I'd probably trust they would work .

Share your favorite ESC from your collection vintage or contemporary. I'm not a collector, but in my quest for period-correct electronics I've come to appreciate them over the decades. ESC's never get reissued and there is something very timeless about them. Their technology made a big difference in...

Jrx-pro

This got a few people excited last year, but eventually it all faded and nothing has been spoken about it since.
