I just had a though about the bodies we are needing, what if we take a 3d scan of the uncut 10th scale body and size them appropriately? This is about the only place a 3d scan might work for making these parts

That would be awesome. The Mini Jrx2 body seriously irritates me. The windshield is so wide. I was going to pour plaster into the body, reshape it and then pop out a proper body from my cheesy vacuum table. Then I wanted to order proper decals that don't say Mini on them.

The files have been uploaded, I have tried to replicate the precision of the rear toe blocks as close as I possibly can, #1 would be the 'stock' one to use as a stock build with the H arms. I would (and have) oriented them with the numbers facing up when printing with a hot .2 nozzle.
If anyone has already smoked your tires and replaced them to something new, I am looking for some used wheels for destructive disassembly so I can model some logo wheels correctly!

Just did this up for a reference as there is no listing anywhere. This is not all the screws, but it is good for basic reference.

So I couldent resist.
I bought the red one, Figured as it's my first ever Losi!..
I have a few mods in mind.
Swapping the wheel nuts for white nylone.
Thinking of painting the receiver/esc case orange.
Try to source mini-T 1.0 springs.
I've ordered JRX2 decals and panel decals in 1/16 scale from MCI. We'll see how they fit.
Ordered 1,5 mm Kydex for a front bumper.
will order 1,3 mm piano wire for proper wing mount.
And the Reedy Mini Mod 19T. Looks so much better with a open end-bell. I know it's not a Losi or Trinity motor, but i got a good deal on it.
Update on the 1/16 scale Team Losi JRX2.
Painted the rx/esc orange. Was not able to swap the negative motor wire to a blue one as the rx/esc is filled with epoxy.
Deans conector.
Fabricated a front bumper out of 1.5 millimeter Kydex.
White nylon wheel nuts.
And a couple of stickers.
I figure the chassis is done. Moving on to body and wing
Great work Chris! I hadn't seen this post but I originally planned on making a replica of my first Truck: an LXT with a JRX chassis, Looks like you beat me to the punch with making the models though! I guess I shouldn't have procrastinated on picking up the Mini JRX2. I may pick up a few more of these later to do different variants too. My first R/C was a used JRX Pro SE which i might want to replicate later but I unfortunately don't own that car anymore.
I am going to shift my model focus to some cosmetics for now. Like a dummy Hydra-drive to cover up the outside slipper assembly.
That and figuring out ways to tighten up the front. Seems Losi uses undersized hinge pins so there's a lot of slop up front especially at the castor blocks. Already fixed a bunch of slop in the steering by using a bunch of shims on the belcranks and tighten up the rear a bit shims as well.
I've been wanting to start this thread for a long time, and finally got around to scanning some of the body pics in my old brochures. Mods can make this a sticky if they want. :wink:
I've never owned anything other than a Cougar Outlaw and newer...

Where are all the Dahm's bodies..... ?
I have a nip Warrior in my stash. I may use it on an upcoming build.
I haven't seen a thread specifically about RC10 weights, so I started this one just for fun. I'll try to arrange the cars with their owners in order in this first post once some are submitted.
Let's see those cheese grater pans and hacked up...

I wanted to start a thread for Tamiya Egress enthusiasts. This is easily my favorite buggy of all time from Tamiya. Whoever designed this mean-looking buggy hit a homerun. It looks so fast and awesome right out of the box.
This is my all-out 2022...

I’ve not been here much lately, but thought I’d share my latest build. It’s a 2013 released kit, that I sourced some reproduction BF8/9 parts, and blue rod ends to replicate the original release. Other than these, and blue wheel nuts :roll: , the...
This will be my last build of my X2 series and this is my personal ultimate JRX2. Special thanks goes out to Scr8p and Rick for help get the chance to install some great parts on this one. Some of the highlights:
Just picked this beauty up today.....complete and in good shape, but the chassis was clearanced on one side for some reason. Shocks and diff are smooth.
Some of the wheels and bodies do not fit, maybe XX stuff.
I plan to clean 'er up, find a fresh...

I saw that first picture of the thread and said to myself that doesn't look like my old JRx2 .
Then I saw the 5 link... yep that was it!
Awesome car.
Thanks for the trip back in time.
