Picture of my Jrx2 when it was new.

Picture of my Dad's Jrx2 next to mine.
We still have both cars, but mine needs some TLC.

Love it, glad you still have them , I still have mine also but its fresly restored

Nice i love old pics i found a pic of me with my tyco bandit the other day i have to scan.

I wish I would have taken pictures of mine, I was haveing to much fun Raceing it to stop and take a picture. if their would have been digital cameras back then it might have been different.

I got pictures of most of my cars from back in the day. Wish I had more pictures of them in action though.

Cool I bet those pics bring back happy memories? I must admit I still have alot of pictures of my old cars..... I was a proud chappy back then

Do you have any pictures of the cars now??

How it looks today.





Once I am finished with my Rc-10 I plan to spend some time cleaning it up.

Hey that looks in pretty good shape - it looks like a clean-up is all it needs. I'm guessing by the wing that this was used as a dirt-oval car?? That class seemed to pass us by here in the UK, we had a 1/8th I.C stock class but that was raced on tarmac ovals...

Great pictures. I don't think I ever saw the "limited introduction" box. I'm assuming that yours was a very early release? Also-any idea if the narrow wing and front tires were original?

The tires in the first picture are original, but the aluminium wing is not. The red and white Jrx2 is my dads and has the stock wing mounted. I still have my stock wing, but I never finished cutting it out. I was dumb and painted it wrong..

It was purchased as soon as Losi put them on the market and stashed away until Christmas. I went to the hobby shop(Bill's Hoby Barn in Sudbury, MA) with my Mom to help buy my dads. He had no idea, and was very surprised that Christmas morning.

I mostly raced it on a dirt oval. It is still in good shape. I would like to find a new batter hold down and I might have to purchase a Mr.Lexan repro body some day.

Seeing old pictures like that brings back alot of good memories of running around to all the tracks and racing with my buddies. Great times. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
