I got a tip regarding a Junior T for a reasonable price and from a neighbour country here in Europe.
I bought it thinking it would be a nice pile of parts.
It turns out the truck has never been run. Not a scratch anywhere.
I guess it is a late...

I contacted TBG regarding the Junior T body. It turns out they had stopped making it due to supply shortage for the specific Lexan needed.
However they managed to make me a body using a different material. Big thanks to Trish and Jon! 8)

I'm looking for a Tamiya paint code for the blue on the box art for the Losi Jr-2, Junior 2. Looks like a metallic blue , maybe?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

This wing is painted in Duratrax metallic blue, backed in metallic silver.
Well,it's all done,apart from a few touch ups and some decals I need to slap on.
Not bad for a test body .
It's a Team Bluegroove body,I came across and bought a genuine NIP Losi body while this body was all masked up,so I thought I might as well...
Here's my LX-T that I raced on carpet ovals as a kid. It's close to how it was back then, except for the .36 shocks and yellow motor plate.

Well... it's a cream dream. Probably my favorite yet. 8) Seriously.
I found these aluminum uprights for a XXX_SCT and was wondering how their geometry compared to the XXX. AS in, if the caster and spacing were the same. Any ideas?
I gather the SCT kingpin is longer?

Never mind: the pins are all 1/8 , vs the 3/32 on the buggy.
Any suggestions on replacement Jrx2 rear tires? Seems like there have been a few 2.0” tires available in the past, but nothing currently. I’d prefer some 4 rows like the originals but would settle for almost anything that looks like it came from...

Here are some more Tamiya 2 tires.. 50344 spike, 53059 stud spike & 50269 oval block/spike
Never seen this before and have had a lots of them. Triangle center? I could see how it would create less friction yet still support at this common area for melting?

I'd like to start an official conspiracy theory on this. Needs to be a vintage one rooted in 1990 give or take.
After building my Jrx2 series buggies and setting aside parts for another build or two, I still have a decent sized pile of used Losi parts. So I have decided to take the worst parts that are still functional…you know..the scratched, faded, rusty,...

I have been driving this truck a lot and decided to make it not quite so ugly with a body upgrade.
Really nothing special here, but all these years later my wife came across these old pictures of mine. This car was my younger brothers that I built for him back then. Thinking back to when we built it I could have sworn it came with red logo wheels...

At the time it would be weird maybe, but with benefit of hindsight now would be cool to have recevied a we're using up spare parts kit. AE did it too with the RC10's. If you had one today you could get everyone on FB arguing about it and then put it...
I know this model is right on the edge of vintage, but it's Kinwald so it automatically gets a pass. :lol: I have been saving up cool and rare XXX parts for several years because I knew I would eventually build some sort of XXX car. I finally...

I am a fan of the Losi LRM transmission and the upgrades available for it..so this is a cool one. This MIP L-260 kit includes a different top gear and diff gear to change the original LRM ratio from 2.18 to 2.6

Nice! I put one in my LXT back when I still raced it. And I think I have a backup kit I got years later.
When upgrading the original jrx2 to a pro using the proformance kit what shocks are used in the front? The original short body (.6)? I know the production jrx pro uses a long shock and shaft (.9). There is a post on here with the entire upgrade...

That was perfect! The box clarifies that there are long shocks used in the proformance kit in the front. Those gold shocks are super nice I have a set on a stellar jrx pro se
So I picked up this used JRX2 a few month ago. It was in decent shape and has a a few pretty nice period hop ups. The 3 piece front wheels are kinda cool. Bottom isn't too gouged up. (ugh stop rotating my pics....)

That has a nice assortment of upgrades…looks good! Thorp top gear too. I might have a set of silver .9 shocks for you…I’ll check the stash later.
Does anyone know if the XX transmission braces with the ears or fingers on them give any extra strength or rigidity to the chassis or transmission compared to the simple little rectangular braces? This will be for a runner build with a modern motor....

I have only ever broken the ears off the transmission case just behind the holes that screw to the bulkhead. I don't believe either brace really solves that problem (unless others are suffering different failures to me).

On the Jammin setup there is some bump steer at lockup..the outside more than the inside. I see your outer tie rods are spaced up high. The Jammin only uses 2 washers like mentioned in that Losi Tech Talk.

The Thorp Delrin top shaft gear also fits properly on the Losi A-3120 Hydra-Drive/Slipper shaft. Which means it will also fit the A-3007 JRX-Pro top shaft and the A&L Power Clutch shaft.

Not a bad buggy, a great majority of my previous racing was with it's sibling, the XXX-T MF.

For future reference... The A-3022 top shaft gear is also used on the A-3120 Hydra-Drive/Slipper shaft (Pro-SE & LXT) and on the A&L/Factory Works Power Clutch shaft.
Can anyone share any tips or tricks on how they are refinishing their XX era motor guards? Trying to clean up a few runners and wanted to get them looking better. Thanks in advance!
So I’m restoring a JRX2. The chassis I’ve got is decent but needs a bit of tlc. I hit it with fine grit paper and that helped. Anyone do anything else like paint it? Thanks

Great looking buggy! One of my favorite things about the original Jrx2 is the sleek bumperless front end.
The original idea for this build was a low budget runner using the best used parts from my pile. As with any project, there has already been significant scope creep as visions of big bore shocks, modern tires, and mild brushless power sent me to...

There is a lot of interchange across all the vehicles.. The biggest changes were later with the LXT and Retrofit trans but still there were a lot of common parts. Use the manuals at Vintagelosi to help compare the vehicles.
Curious if others no of high offset wheels for the JRXT. Plenty of adapters to make them hex drive but as we all know offset unique. I am aware of all the options of converting to different hubs and such on these for buggy wheels. None of those...
