JRX2 to relive my youth...

[Brandon G]

This car came from a member on this site, can't remember the name off hand. It was a dusty bone stock JRX2. No body, red 5 spoke wheels, and it turned out to be really nice with a good cleaning.

Anyway, my first JRX2 in 1989 I bought new to replace my Turbo Ultima racer. I bought the same solid white Proline wheels that are on this car, along with the RPM H arm conversion kit before I even started putting it together. So my intent was to model this car close to what I had back then. The only other thing I would need would be an A&L steering rack and a Pure Tech battery strap to be like my original.

Of course as a kid I didn't have the $$ for the Trackmaster tranny or the Motown Missle that is bolted to it. But I got a good deal from Rick for the tranny so I figured I'd install it. I plan on making a small brace to go from the tranny to the rear bulkhead to stiffen things up a little.

I have a wing for her as well and plan on painting it close to what I had. Sorry for the fuzzy pics. This camera really doesn't work well indoors.

what color pure-tech strap are you looking for?

[Brandon G]

Preferably yellow, but pink would work too. Not too sure of the other colors available....

Not sure if you strictly want the vintage style, but you can email Puretech and get straps still. The difference is the plastic blocks no longer have the L shape and they are slightly longer now. I have bought a few from them in the new style.

the logo is different on the new ones, too.

brandon, if you want either one of these, send me your address.
