JRX-2 mid-motor oval racer
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:52 pm
This is a converted JRX-2 that I have had for several years (I got it off eBay, years ago).
- The transmission is reversed (for mid-motor arrangement), and the motor-plate has been switched back to the right-hand side (so it does not require reverse rotation motor). The rear shock tower is mounted at the very back, with shocks now behind the a-arms.
- The front uses RPM arms, mounted backwards; and pan-car steering setup with a mini servo. The front shock tower is lowered/cross-braced, with the shock ends bolted directly to the caster blocks (shocks in front and camber links behind the caster block with one long bolt).
- Electronics include a Novak XXL receiver, Novak GTX speed control, Novak 45-turn crawler motor with 30/84 gearing (runs all day on a 2300mAh battery), and a Futaba S9601 mini servo.
- Losi rims (orange) with foam tires.
- I forget the make of the body (I have one other Jerk with the same body).
This setup handles really well on pavement, I have never had the chance to run it on a real oval track.
