What's this body worth?

Post by aconsola »

I can hear the steam coming out of Scr8p's ears :lol:
I just got this in the mail today. a proformance kit missing a couple pieces, but it has the rare body. It also came with a new built jrx-T and a nearly complete JRX-2 kit. It looks like the previous owner started to build up the proformance kit from the jrx-2 as a couple bags are opened and the bulkhead and battery box were fitted to the chassis. I tried to buy just the upgrade kit, but he wouldn't separate the lot.
I'm debating what to do with it, considering finishing the proformance build from the NIP x-2 kit, but I don't have a new-built jrx-2 either.

Whatever you do with the rest of it, consider keeping the body uncut until someone can re-pop it ... bodies for that particular wheelbase are few and far between.

Great pick-up, by the way. My guess is that the previous owner didn't let it go cheap ...

i'd build the jrx2 from the kit parts, then piece together the proformance kit.

Definitely get that body re-popped if you can. You would be doing all of us a huge favour.

Excuse this newbie ignorance but what does it mean to "repop" a body?

Generally, it means "reproduction"

You'll note that people use repro, repo and repop. Repo, to me, means repossession. LOL!

Reproduce, reproduction. basically one takes an original body, makes a mold from it and then can vacu-form bodies from the mold.

I'd consider lending this out for someone to make a mold if there was a desire to do so, but have no interest in selling any of the pictured items.
