That was an ancient Chinese secret method of water proofing your stuff back in the day...It worked then and should still work today...I did it to a couple of my cars back then also...RC104ever wrote:Welcome! What's the deal with the receiver in the balloon? Was that for dust or waterproofing purposes? Or neither? I never raced (and still haven't ) but like reading about these old 'tricks'

Re: new member from Canada
lol yes it does look like a baloon i never had luck with them .. water would always find a way in .. as for mine it was shrink wrap for weight savings .. i use to weight eveything trying to save .. it was before i was able to get alum screws, titanum parts and such
one part i wouldnt mind getting back is the old hydro clutch that came out after the slipper clutch .. i liked it
p.s. i never watch sports unless its auto racing lol ... i would love to see the moslen indy in T.O.

Re: new member from Canada
i thought i would post some more about the alum rims on the JRx2
at some point the front axel was swaped out to a RC10
the front rims have a specal nut and 2 diffrent bushings
the rear was set up like the rc10 with the pin and a small bushing for the axel
now for the rims

Re: new member from Canada
Why do those wheels look and measure oversized? Is it me or do they seem a tad larger than most?
What make and model are they? They look like Sees, without the forward cut. I am not sure that is what they are called, but they look larger. Does a 2.2 tire fit? I could use those wheels!!

Re: new member from Canada
They look like regular ole truck rims at 2.2" X approx. 1.75" bead outside to outside lip. I had a set of these NOS fronts for a blackfoot I think awhile back and finally ebayed them only to find some matching rears a month after selling them . Can't remember if they were JPS or Sees though...primarily the same but BrandonG might know for sure on this board. He sold a ton of alloys (mostly SEES) a year or so back...
