My Super-Slow JRX-2 Resto

[johnqpublic]

Well, I started on this way back here: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2297

Took me quite a while to find all the rare parts that I needed. This car is now made up of about 90% brand new parts, and the rest were in very good condition.

This original JRX-2 has the following mods:
Losi BB Steering kit
Robinson transmission top shaft
Robinson JRX-2 direct fit spur gear
Robinson trailing link mounts

This is just how I would have raced this baby back in 1990 on dirt ovals in eastern NY. Next I'll be working on trying to recreate the EDM body that I fabricated myself back then, and looking for electronics. Hopefully that won't take another year!

What I want to use (which I would have had back then) are:
Novak T-4
Novak NER2X
Futaba S-148 (this should be an easy one)
Parma Cyclone II stock motor (blue & gray label)..good luck, I know!

Nice!
I have been looking for a clean chassis plate like that. did you get yours NIP?

Absolutely fantastic build, Paul. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see the body.

Very nice!!!

As for the parma motor, there's a guy on ebay selling a ton of those. He usually sells them in lots of 5. His auction states that he got a ton of stuff from his neighbor's basement. He's sold hundres of hubs (pancar), chassis, bearings, etc.

Thanks guys. I'm really proud of it.

Yes, I found a NIP chassis....only one I've ever seen. If you follow the link at the top, and then the link inside the link, there are some pics of that too.
