I've been looking for one of those for many years. only came across one chassis plate, and it was very beat on and didn't include the trailing arms so I didn't go for it.

It drove like an RC10 with trailing arms. When Barry designed that kit, his goal was really more about the RC10 than the JRX2. It was really made as an update for the RC10. The JRX gearbox was better than the 6 gear RC10 gearbox at the time and was cheaper to buy than then MIP or TPS chain drive so he used that option. Remember this is before the stealth gearbox. He did offer the chassis for the RC10 rear end as well and later on came out with his own belt drive system.

I have a Bullet RC10 with their chassis and trailing arms. Barry still has an RC-X2 chassis but we never built a car out of it. It's just the last leftover.

I don't think he still has one. He doesn't have everything that he offered anymore. I've slowly purchased a few items online to help build up the collection but have a long way to go. I don't remember seeing a Mid chassis over there. He won't even know if I ask him. I'll have to go over there one night after work and go through his boxes but I didn't see one the last time I went through it all.

Here's the last RC10 and RC-X2 chassis that he has. Both unused.

Aaron, did you reach out to Fred yet? If the chassis aren't there he might have templates :?:

MrLexan has posted one or more bullet builds years ago. Not sure if the mid was among them...
