What color are the JRx2 box art wheels?

[XxRONNxX]

Are they another orange variation of the spoked wheel or are they yellow?

Originals were orange best I can remember.

They are a very pale color of Orange - hard to see in pictures. Here is a comparison pic. Early box art light orange wheel has tire on it.

If you've got a set of these original wheels that have been used, they have more than likely got cracks around the inner bearing recess.... also don't acetone to remove old glued-on tyres (oops) later Losi 5 spokes were made of a different material & are more resilient

also don't acetone to remove old glued-on tyres (oops)

or try to remove the tires with boiling water

What happened in water?

Damn. All this time, I thought they were the yellow wheels. I guess my box art project has to wait and the hunt goes on. Maybe I'll do the JRx2 pictured on the cover of the instruction manual instead. I remember having those orange wheels back in 1989....stress cracks all around the inner bearings.

I thought I had the right rims but I guess not. I had the light orange ones back in 89 when I was a kid. Here's a recent photo of 2 of my projects.

Nice proformance car too! I can see that they are yellow now the fronts can be had on eBay some, the rears are a little tougher lately. You should post more pics!

Holy crap!! I would have never guessed that

now i haven't had my early-ish jrx2 from new, but with the amount of use it looks like this car actually saw, i'm sure the rims are original. light rears, dark fronts. and of course, the rears are all busted around the drive pins. i wonder how soon after production started that the new rims found their way into the kits.....
