Losi JRX2 Proformance Build
Here goes. This will be a mostly stock build of a JRX2 Proformance buggy. However, I couldn't help but finally open up my Uber rare gold Losi shock bodies.
I removed the mount on top of the transmission case. I feel it's a much cleaner look without them.
More to come.

Re: Losi JRX2 Proformance Build
That's an interesting gearbox layout , I've never seen one before , i like the inside out diff bearings .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: Losi JRX2 Proformance Build
It's the standard "LRM" (Low Rotational Mass) tranny for anything pre-retrofit (which was XX-like) from Losi. It might have looked good on paper but it's not quite that great a design tbh

It might have looked good on paper but it's not quite that great a design tbhIt wasn't that reliable... The MIP for AE and its copycat the Stealth really set the bar - then Losi followed. What's crazy is that the kyosho 2wd's that came in the 90's were running a similar transmission to the LRM , I was always told because they hired the engineer who did the LRM... they hadn't quite learnt

I don't know where the LRM gearbox not being reliable idea came from. Maybe i am just lucky but I have run brushless power through mine and a lot of carpet track laps. Levels of power and grip we never had back in the day and I have never had a failure. I think the external adjustable diff was a great design and very innovative for the time. I might go so far as to say it forced AE's hand to create the stealth as the original RC10 transmission needed a lot of fiddling to make work right.

Re: Losi JRX2 Proformance Build
I finally got back to this project. Here are a few small updates with more to come shortly.
Although I have a set of new stock towers, I prefer the Factory Works as the material matches itself better. I am also using their amazing washers through out the build. Thanks as always to Jeff Malar for all the great parts.
The Tecnacraft Ti rods were used and a little beat up looking. I spent the time to refinish and polish them, and they look pretty great now.

Re: Losi JRX2 Proformance Build
It's a roller. I don't love these wheels or paint, but they are what I have at the moment. I think I may be changing the look but for now it's very clean.
The grey sliders came from a donor car and had these Losi decals on them. I thought they looked cool so I carefully trimmed the edges that were lifting. This cleaned up their appearance.
The early style rear arms are a pair I had, and decided to use.
