Had some time to dig in the stash. Lookee what I found. A battery box attached to a JRX2 and a loose one. :mrgreen: 20250215_100959.jpg Also found some white steering arms to match what I had on my OG truck. Should clean up fine. 20250215_100218.jpg Rear tires will be NIP X-patterns and fronts will ...

I figured a click bait Youtube style thread title wouldn't suck ... buuuut I'm sure i figured wrong. :mrgreen: While searching for some JRXT parts in the basement, I was reminded that I had a Ebay score JRX2 abandoned on a dark shelf. After blowing off the cobwebs, the minty-ness was revealed, as we...

1/2 ball bearing steering... 20250215_152519.jpg Rusty shock shaft hinge pin.... nice 20250215_171023.jpg 20250215_171056.jpg All torn apart. 20250215_172441.jpg Motor plate looks like it never had a motor installed. Maybe someone was thinking about JRX Pro type inboard rear ball studs, but the bulk...

The gearbox only had the outdrive gears inside. With all the mismatched parts, I'm guessing the Ebay seller threw things together to make it appear complete in the listing. Anyway - time to assemble, starting with a diff pulled from my stash. 20250216_164352.jpg Installed an early top shaft. 2025021...

Motor options. I did not have Losi motors back in the day. Mostly, I had Trinity Monster Horsepower or B&R, as that is what the local hobby shops had in stock. 20250215_105307.jpg 20250215_105903.jpg This is what I had in there BITD. Need a pinion and a few misc screws to call it done (for now)....

Let's kick things up a notch. This painted body is a recent ebay find. No idea who the artist is.

I agree on the wild red wheels. 8) The orange wheels made it too monochrome. Tires were also a tough choice.... 20250217_094943.jpg 20250217_095551.jpg And wing. 20250217_095726.jpg 20250217_100109.jpg End result after consulting a beer. Vari spike rear tires and clear wing for now. 20250217_120433....

Mounted a Revolution modified. It appears to be a double wind, so I assume its an "Offroad Special". Found a gear cover in the stash, as well.

Did the motor have a letter scribed on the end? Sometimes the first letter on the model name is on the shaft end of the can. It has the number 323 engraved in the shaft end. I couldn't find a reference to the number, so I pulled it apart and can see it is a double wind. Of course, I can't count the...

... That 924 ...

Along with the Jrxt body that I rescued from my folks' house, a Jrx Pro body returned home. The original chassis was given to another family member, so I'll have to build up a new chassis to sit under the body. I've had this basket case, mismatched buggy in storage for many years. Much like the Jrx2...

Man! Your on a roll!! :mrgreen: It's a special time of year before all hell breaks loose with kids' activities! That’s a nice looking chassis! No servo saver cutout, Jrx2 steering and the mini bumper..Looks like a Proformance upgrade with some more upgrades. I agree - someone threw a Proformananana...

Sweet build! Thanks! I'm patting 12 year old me on the back. :mrgreen: Had a few minutes at the bench today. Bulkheads mounted with a new bumper. 20250309_145854.jpg New steering posts. 20250309_150445.jpg I found a correct "wide" steering rack in the parts stash and mounted the battery h...

I'm 99% sure I have some new out of package .9 fronts on the way to me if you haven't found them soon-

Appreciate the offer, found some last night on the bay. Hopefully the ano color is fairly close to the 1.2s.
