what the heck kyosho is this?
first, i do not want any offers to buy and i dont want to know how much its worth, i just wanna know what it is...
i know its a kyosho something with some sort of truck conversion, aft chassis, hot trick arms, and a rc10 front shock tower.
i just would like to know if i go to sell it how to accurately describe the darn thing better than that.
a buddy of mine picked it up off ebay years ago thinking it was an rc10t. i traded him 3 or 4 ps2 games for it. figured if nothing else i got some losi bellcranks and some cool shock collars for a boxart rc10.

the jrx2 and jrxt came out before the junior 2 and junior t. the junior series was an entry level vehicle to get started in racing. all the suspension stuff was the same, except the jrx2, jrxt, had a 5 link rear setup, and the juniors had an h-arm setup. the gearbox was also the same. the other difference is the chassis. the juniors had a molded chassis design, that was later used on the losi lxt. the material was called stifizzel (stiff as hell). oh, and the shock towers on the juniors are some type of plastic material, where the jrx2, t, were graphite. her's a pic of my junior t.

That's true, until you want to buy a vintage Losi body. They cost about as much as a nearly mint original complete RC10. And, most Losi's on ebay have very used or no body.badhoopty wrote:you guys notice how cheap old losi's are on ebay? i'm thinking about getting some learnings about vintage losi's and switching teams.
I'm a Losi guy. Don't own any right now, but my first real race car was the JRX2.

That's a kyosho ultima indeed, and with quite a few option parts.badhoopty wrote:first, i do not want any offers to buy and i dont want to know how much its worth, i just wanna know what it is...

I think I see a MIP truck conversion (rear tower)
(I could be wrong on the brand)
hot trick arms and the steering is urely not stock either.
The graphits chassis may be a kyosho option part, the bumper is RPM maybe?
I used asso RC10 GT arms (original and RPM's on 2 ultima trucks : with HPI MT dogbones and longer turnbuckles it puts the tires out where they should be)
As soon as I figure out this site further I hope to post some pics...

I had a chassis like this, its from Losiss first car the JRXbadhoopty wrote:while i'm asking, is this a regular losi chassis or is it a composite craft losi chassis?
what losi is it for? i assume its losi since it had a front losi bulkead.
...
The buggy and truck had the same chassis.
It's extremely good material : no top plate needed.
It's actually a sandwhich of standard glassfiber and epoxy between 2 layers of high grade carbonfiber composite.
I understand you don't want to sell the ultima, but if you're really gonna cut up this chassis, I'd be real interested to get the kick-up nose section and say the first 6 or 8 cm behind it.
Let me know what you want for it: I got Ultima spare parts too if you rather trade.
