I just purchased the double deck JRX from rcveteran but it is lacking a body. Do you think I can put a Pro SE body onto the JRX Pro?? :roll:

Anyone done it before?? :D

I may be mistaken, but I think the ProSE body will be too narrow to cover the stock pro chassis on the sides...

The Double deck chassis is a Pro se not a Pro. TBG has the Losi repro Pro se bodies. I am building the same car and I am useing the Losi XX body as long as you take your time and cut it out it looks Great. I will go take some pic's for you check back in a few min's.

On my Vornats car I drilled my rear shock tower and used XXX style wing mounts. and cut off the back of the body and it fits even better. as you can see I am not done cutting the body out, I wont finish it untill the car is done. As long as you take your time this is the best Cheap replacement Losi body I could find they are only around 15 bucks PN LOSA8008 or Losi A-8008

I am so glad to hear that. :mrgreen:

A JRX Pro is great. :) A Pro SE in double deck is even better :) :lol:

Do you have a pointer where I can get the body you showed?? :)

Since 95% of the car is aftermarket parts I am not sure what to call it. :lol:

I could be mistaken because I'm not going by hard facts, only having owned a Jrx2, Jrx Pro (not the se though) XX and XXX in numerous incarnations.

I don't believe the xxx body would fit. My guess is the side areas are too low for a double decker frame.

But there are tons of places you can get a XX body for a good price.

Not sure about stock

Too wide, the SE was the narrowest chassis Losi made-

no the xxx body stops at the shock towers, doesnt have the back part over the motor. you would have to update the wing mounts like on my Nats car. here is the xx body on my car also it fits the best.
