There sure isn't much stock left but it sure was trick in its day. I have had it moving under its own power but it needs shocks worked on and a new servo but I have them. It will probably never see much use other than an occasional parking lot fun run.

rack and pinion steering? never seen one like that before.

cool. did it work well? i know racks tend to have issues with binding.

i've never had/used one, so i can't give any personal feedback.

the one above looks to be mounted too far back on the chassis, or the tie rods need to be mounted from the front side of the rack. maybe it's the pics, but it just looks funny.

looks like they should be on the front side.

Very cool looking either way. Any pics of it with a body?

I need to swap out the front mount back to stock to get the old school body back on it. I have been so busy it may be months before my old school cars get much love unfortunately.

I think when he did the conversion over to the traxxas end links the extra screw head might have caused a problem and he moved them. I am of course trying to remember stuff from twenty years ago.

I hear ya, I use the few I have once in a while. Easy running, nothing to hard, so I don't break parts.

I always like to see what others have done with the JRXT.

That steering system is way cool. Never seen that.

That looks like a pink label Ironman motor? They were outta Utah. I was sponsored by them back in the day.

Yes it is a pink label Ironman motor. I have dozens on motor cans with all different motors in them.
