Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
I just can't help myself,not when vintage Losi' are going at such low prices-Yet another eBay score.
This time a very clean JRX2,complete with radio for a whopping US$30.
It'll clean up REAL nice...The part I love is that body-From what I can see it has one crack and is painted red All ready for me to get some custom decals made for a box art body!
Crikey-I've bought two JRX2's,a JRX Pro and that JRX/RC10 "thing" in two weeks...What a worry.
Check her out,in all of it's 5-Link glory!

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
Congrats on getting a 5 link, know you have been looking. What speed control does it have?
Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
Passed on that one as I am not buying another 2 with a drilled chassis plate. But for $30 it was a good deal.

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
I HAVE been craving a 5-Link!
That is the whole reason (almost) I love those ol' JRX2's.
I have two 5-Link cars,now and a JRX Pro.
The car below should arrive,tomorrow...I prepped my beater JRX2's chassis to replace that RC10 chassis.What a waste of a nice graphite RC10 chassis...
Looks like a Futaba MC110 ESC,I'm unsure,the seller didn't say.
DOCJ-What do you mean by a 'drilled chassis'?
Drilled for the 5-Link?

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
It was good at US$30....+ US$55 frieght...NZ$150!
NOT so much of a bargain...But it IS all there and the body only has one itty bitty crack.
At least I can sell the Traxxas radio gear and maybe the ESC,too...If it actually works.
Just stocked up on red 'Logo' rear Pro wheels,'imashopaholic' on eBay has stock-Cheap.

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
there isn't that many extra holes. hell, the 2 for the servo losi should've put there to begin with. did you ever lose a race driving a losi because your servo let go since it was only attached with servo tape? i did...... once. 2 holes and a pair of servo mounts later, it never happened again.
Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
I actually ran tape for years and NEVER had one come loose. Hell, when I had to reposition a few I couldn't even get them off at times. Wish I had Goof Off back then, would have been easier.
Damn, you paid that much to ship it?! Wow, next time save up and buy a SNIB and that will be worth it. Well, I can't say what you bought isn't worth it because it is. I am just saying the shipping killed you!!!

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
Yep-It costs me US$50 to ship ANY RC car from the US to NZ-I haven;t ever bought a truck in,that'd be even more .
I don't really mind the cost-These cars have more value to me than the money does,if that makes any sense
I'm bidding on an OG RC10,at the moment.
Losi themselves went to a conventional steering servo mount on the JRX Pro (correct me if I'm wrong),I like using the RPM servo mounting kits-cheap,work real well and look good.
I had the steering servo squirm in my beater brushless JRX2 street racer...A hole had been drilled,but there was no room for a regular servo post 'cause it was too close to the battery tray...I just threaded a filthy big cable tie through the hole and through the servo's mounts,that stopped the dang thing and kinda suited it's beater looks

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
Hey FasterLouder, I believe the first real servo mounting started with the XX series. The JRX Pro was I think the first chassis to have the cutout for the larger Kimbrough style servo saver. But I think ya still servo taped it.
Suggest the clear 3M servo tape, sold under various brands, I think mine's Parma, some of the better stuff I've used. Holds well, strangely enough it's easier to clean up too, tends to stay together when pulling off.

Re: Add Another JRX2 To The Collection ...
Thanks for reminding me that I need some decent servo tape,Bongo!
Good ol' 3M.
I love that company! Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing.
The JRX Pro had a longer chassis and thus,room for another servo mounting post.
I'm sure they came with two post holes...
