this is the picture the girl sent me and the attached email:

Hi David,
It was brought to my attention that this body does not have the part number inscribed on the back. You can see part of what looks like USA on it. Before I ship this body, I want to make sure you still want it. I was told by the person that I bought these from that they were pulled off of the original mold. Please view the attached picture and let me know. I will hold off from invoicing you until I hear from you first.
Thank you,
Heather

I'm pretty sure the original one came with ref. number or something on the rear... waiting for mr.lexan to post his

Oh dear

So what does everyone think of these bodies then? Is everyone going to avoid them because they could be repros? Has anyone spotted other differences apart from the missing part numbers?

What's every ones overall thoughts?

I'll go for them, they are too rare...

Wouldn't you know it, when I am trying to find something, I can't. I don't know where I put my body (a sign I have too much junk). Sorry guys. I am going for it. Like Melvin said, if it is from the original mold as a "re-release", who really cares. Even if it is not or if it from a repo mold, $35 is not that bad at all.

Anyone fancy some JRX2 repos decals? That I can do myself.

Sign me up for a set, if they're just like the originals.

If it is a repro body pulled from the original mold, I don't mind either. I have an original, cut, unpainted body that I can compare this one to. I was gonna use it, but it's got some scuffs.

you werent the first to bid, unless you are using 2 seperate ebay id's.

are you using 2 seperate ebay id's?

Nope, I only have one ebay account. Not sure how that happened, the other guy must have bid right before me.

wierd. when i made the initial post there was only one bidder for quite awhile and it was the other dude.

maybe a b2 body? i dunno but i think maybe andys wasnt around when the b2 came out.

its new, but some yahoo was pretty quick with the scissors. it looks like theres enough lexan left over that it could still be salvaged.

btw, somebody is already pm'n the crap out of me wanting to buy it, so please dont pm me until he either buys it or i list it in the b/s/t area.

Yup prolly a B2/B3 body. Oh, BTW the man himself Andy Jacobson is still around! He's painting a 6130 team truck body for me as we speak. Great guy! He's works at pegasus hobbies now in Montclair, CA and still paints bodies on the side. Check their site for a number http://pegasushobbies.com/ I dunno maybe you could ship a fresh body out if they'll take it. If you are in Cali, definitely check the place out. Andy is usually there on weekdays.

Not to get off subject, but anyone know what happen to all the Andy's body and injection molds? carloco8, maybe you can ask him?

Yeah, sorry for straying from the jrx2 body topic. I know that as a business, "Andy's" is already gone and he has no more old stock of anything around (just shoots the paint now). Good question, if he still has injection molds that would be awesome. I'll check it out.

Also check on the 1/12 and 1/10 on-road/off-road body molds, Please sir.

I take it then you are going for this body then?

Are you going for that RPM lot you bid on as well? I was interested in one of the battery cups if you wanted to split it up.

did you end up winning this? i forget peoples ebay names if they aint the same as here...

i see mrlex was sleeping...

$81 with one day left.
