Love it! What's with the Cap on the motor leads though? shouldn't that be on the battery leads instead?

Nope, on the motor leads. Used a cap from my Hobbywing Justock ESC since I had it handy.

interesting, never seen that one before. Learn something new everyday!

Welp, qualified first in the Vintage B main and had the lead til the very last lap when I buffed it lol With the exception of a turnbuckle the old girl didn't let me down all weekend. So fun actually racing a JRX2 after after 30+ years. Good times!

Decided to show my shelfer some love today with:

Lunsford trailing arms
A&L/Factory Works front and rear shock towers
JG front body mount
MIP bellcranks
Andy's front arms
RPM upper shock bushings

More to come

Looks good! I always like the lunsford trailing arms.

What was the benefit of Lunsford's kit over the stock 5 link?

I've heard that the Lunsford kit takes care of the 5-link lean though don't know for sure and I'm not going to test them lol

What's better than 1 5-link runner? Why 2 of course

What hub and knuckles are up front on the JR2 chassis?

Schumacher Cougar LD2, so I can use my modern hex AE offset front wheels. I'll most likely use my JC Racing wheels for the other, want to keep that one mostly stock.

Is that a direct fit? I wonder if I can do the same with the Storm ST parts and my LXT so I don't have to use my wheel adapters.

I had to drill out the Schumacher caster blocks to 1/8 in order for the hinge pins to fit but that's it.

Amazing! Thanks for the info.

More to come but this year's Kinwald Classic 5-link build is moving right along
