So i couldn't resist and bought this today....I know it looks a little rough...I was told it's an early car, which i really liked..can't wait to get it and get to work! Always loved the 5 link....







I am going to need a bunch of help with this...hope you guys don't mind questions/...i'll start a new build thread when it gets here

Post smaller pics if you don't mind....it takes too long to load

Maybe this will help.

HAHA..thanks Charlie

Sorry I didn't reply to the PM but yes that one is worth it, although it appears to need a few parts

It is much better off then the other one you were thinking of buying AND the electronics are suitable to vintage racing

That looks to be a very early one and likely has a blank motor plate, you are going to need to find a different battery cup and shock clamps however as those ones look like they are passed their prime

Chris

Thanks Chris....I bet if you went through your stash you would have the parts i need...hahaha...

Yeah... a few of them...

Chris

I saw that one - that orange is a pretty good match for the wheels.

You might also want to lose that bumper
(To me it just doesn't look right)

Yeah, jrx2s look best with minimalist front ends they were advertised with... granted they survive better with large bumpers but *shrug* Looks over function

Chris

Yea that is coming off...no doubt!!!

If you're going to race it, I'd also aim convert the LRM gear box to run a dual disk slipper in order to protect/ save the diff from melting. You'll need these parts:

A-3120 Hydra-Drive/ Friction Slipper Shaft
A-3121 Hydra-Drive/ Friction Slipper Backing Plate

And if it's got an early type pinion shaft (part # 46 in the JRX-2 manual) - one that has a press fit brass pinion gear, then you'll also need this part:

A-3022 22T Transmission Pinion Gear

With these three parts fitted, you'll be able to run Losi or AE spur gears.
Be sure to use the correct slipper plate with the long boss (that you can see in the photo above) or the slipper shaft will bind up.

Looking forward to your build

Thats a great looking color and car....tear down and build back up...add slipper clutch and modern gear...run her hard!

I would not take off that bumper...I put that sucker on and I have zero broken parts knock on wood for several weeks now.

Protect your car !!parts can be hard to find and go up in prices too.

Definitely looks like an early car...even has the round sidewall tires too. Hard to see if the transmission out drive spacers are aluminum. Motor plate looks blank and side bulkheads don't have the extra webbing.

I just can't wait to get the thing!!
