JRX Pro - does it make sense for vintage races?
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2022 11:06 am
I have been a R/C racer for many years, but racing offroad has been ...... well very long ago. Something around 30 years.
Now I visited a offroad race where also a vintage class was run. Hmm maybe I should have a go again ...
My first offroad car was the early RC10, when the JRX2 was released I bought this car and later the Proformance kit.
Then the JRX Pro and that is what I remember, not more.
Actually I would be just interested in running a Losi car again but I´m not sure which one or if it does make sense these days.
What I have left is a Proformance chassis, a couple of wheels, tires and shocks, a gear box and some suspension parts.
Unfortunately not a complete car.
Maybe I can find the missing parts, we will see.
But what I really wonder is, if the gear box would stand modern motors. The rules for the vintage race says 13.5T brushless motors.
My gearbox don´t use a slipper and for telling the truth I don´t remember if my Losi cars ever had a slipper.
It´s quite sure you have to use modern tires now, the guys said Proline.
The track is clay with carpet at the jump sections.
I think I might need also different wheels.
So what do you think, is it possible running the JRX Pro with a 13.5T BL motor?
And does it make sense running the Losi car today?
