(almost...) new built JRX-Pro SE

Howdy yall
long time no speak. Lots of RC as both my kids race with me now, both on- and off-road... we don't race that much, but the amount of prep/maintenance to keep >6 cars running (plus the bashers to goof around in the yard) especially when the yougsters don't understand these things just plain break when they bang boards is quite significant
So that leaves about zero time for vintage... modern racers barely get done on time for the next race at all
Obviously, with the confinement and all, and now all cars are 100.00% ready for a racing season that is just not coming, I could finally work on a project which had been on the back burner for quite a while: My Losi Pro-SE
I can't quite recall how this one came into my possession, but this definitely was quite a few years ago. I think it *might* have been bought from @Rick Weeks, but I can't be sure. Anyways, it's a car built mostly from new parts, with a few interesting bits such as a retrofit trans (but no hydra... more on that later), lightweight bones which I think costed an arm and a leg back then, for instance. The chassis is brand spanking new, a lot of suspension parts are too. The whole car except the servo rod seems to be mounted on tecnacraft-lookalikes, and then there's that amazing powdercoated neon yellow motor plate which complements those wheels so perfectly
Net, a perfect base for a good-looking shelfer![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
