What JRXT is this?

Post by **RC10Talk** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:33 am

I picked this up from a coworker. I think there was a JRXT and a JRXT2. Not sure what I have....

It's a JRXT, the next truck out was the LXT with the molded chassis and longer suspension arms. The JRXT that you have there was the first "race level" truck offered by any manufacturer, after the JRXT everyone went to longer suspension arms and a less scale looking truck. The JRXT was the first ROAR truck national champ, driven by Jammin' Jay

I could be wrong, but I don't think the production first-gen JRXTs used the 4-link rear suspension.

I think you're wrong, it looks totally genuine, except for the rear springs

The jrx-T's all had the 5- link rear end. The side bulkheads were changed somewhere along the way to be a little stiffer, and other subtle changes were made, but the jrx-t did not have h-arms as box stock.
The junior-T was the first truck to have them and the pro was the first buggy with h-arms.

Nice truck, just blow off the dust.

I'm not saying it's not genuine, just that when they released the truck (at the same time of the second gen car) that the H-arms were being used as production bits.

We'd found that the 4-link, while great in premise, that the front chassis mounts flexed too much (I think A&L made delrin mounts that were really sturdy) even using buggy rims and tires and broke too easily. We continued to use the 4-link on really rutted surfaces, but mostly ran the H-arms the rest of the time.
I did like the 4-link on my trucks, I just don't remember them being in the production kits.

Sorry, English is not my mother tongue, I should have said "original"

O come on now! Thats low!

In my defense I never cared for Team Losi! I always had Associated trucks!

Thanks for the info guys. Ill clean her up!

Nice truck Bill.

If you're planning to restore that to original specs, you'll need:

90 tooth gray spur gear
white jrxt bell cranks
black progressive rear springs.

Can't be 100% sure, but I think you may have an LXT body.

Regards,

not really sure what my plans for it are yet. Like I said, never been a Losi guy.

Nice find Bill. Looks like it will clean up real nice.
