The JRX2 was Losi's first 2WD release followed by the 'Proformance' upgrade kit closely followed by the JRX PRO (eccentialy the same car).

Not sure what came first, the JRX PRO SE or the Junior 2 but they both shared similar chassis designs.

Back in the day, I use to just say X2 or Pro or SE...depending on what we were talking about.

The jr2 chassis came out about a year before the proSE.

I had the original JRX2. Over the years I upgraded it so many times that it became most of the other variants and some point or another. I just referred to it as the JRX (J-R-X).

I always called it a J-R-X-2.

When they came out with the Junior 2, it was labeled as Jr 2.

So if the JRX2 was pronounced Junior X2, my thought the label would've been JrX2.

Just my thoughts.

I know, ive had many! What I mean is- on the Junior 2 they spelled it out. If the JRX-2 was to be called a Junior X2, they would have likely spelled it out on it as well.
