JRXT build.

[KV78]

I'm building a JRXT with mostly new parts. As you can see in the picture, I am using a LXT front body bount an a LXT rear shock mount so I can use a LXT body. It's going to have RPM arms front and back. I also will be installing XXXT threaded shocks.

So your building a LX-T with graphite chassis, very cool I have seen a lot of them done like that, I guess alot of people back in the day didnt like the moulded chassis.keep up the good work looks like your starting off with a lot of great parts.

LOL Thanks Rick! I guess you could say that. Does the fromt RPM arms look familiar? Thanks for the hookup!

no problem I have the very same arms on my LX-T so I have a Jrx-t with a LX-T chassis but I have since scored the proper LX-T RPM arms so it will be getting fixed very soon.

nice bunch of goods there, when does the build begin??

[KV78]

Thanks GJW. I'll start as soon as I get some new scews and new ball studs. Any sugestions on where to get some and what brand to get?

Rick, I wish I could find parts like you do. I check ebay 10 times a day and hardly ever find good stuff like you do.

Well every time I go anywere I look at the Yellow book website and hit old hobbystores their, and clean out their clearence boxes and Ebay. just change up your searches on Ebay. I have also been collecting Tamiya and Losi parts for 30 years

what are you looking for? I may have it

Transmission gears just to stock up on and I'm in need of another chassis like the one in my photo.

nice start man, i might have a used beater chassis for ya, just waiting on it to arrive. ill let u know as soon as it comes in.

another alternative to LXT front towers are NXT's.. they look similar but a little thinner, sexier imo i got them on my XT with a "pot luck" find of an aluminum Trinity front bulkhead.

I'm getting there!

Looks really nice! I hope those are not new Trinity shock adjusters - because 2 sets it just greedy

i can send you some diff gear's i have a heap to spare, the truck is looking very impressive.

[KV78]

Thanks guys! lol The shocks are off xxx-t shocks.

I definitely want the gears GJW, I will get back with you on them. This truck has me running a little tight. I couldve bought a brand new XXX-T CR for what I have in it.

[KV78]

Also.....I set the LXT body on it last night and it looks like I may have to make the rear wheelwells a little bigger because if I trim it stock the body wants to rub where the shocks mounts to the RPM a-arm.

[bearrickster]

Well its looking good, watching you inspired me to start back working on my JrxT. my Truck has a RPM 5Link I just need to get off my but and finish it. I think I just need to put the shocks together and reaxles, and paint it the body is all cut out mounted up on her.
