It's seems only a bit slower than I remmeber from back in the 90s 
Here's a good question for someone, the cells are "Greyhound Power" matched cells, that I think I got at the Mansfield indoor nationals sometime in the early ninties, these cells were always great, I had 6 pack back in the day.... Anyone remember them? |
Wonderful post!
I had 2 JRX2's back in the very late 80's or it might have been 1990, I can't remember.
The first one had the flat Carbon Chassis like yours, the second was a little newer and had the molded composite chassis, I liked the carbon better because the composite broke on me twice back close to the motor.
I had all the woo hoo stuff from Aluminum Wheels, titanium turnbuckles and a slip clutch, they where awesome.
Thanks to my ex they're gone. (Wiping a tear from Eye)
I'll bet that sucker would scream with a brusless motor and controller.
I had some matched Batt sets and even made some 8 Cell sets of my own.
They gave a tiny bit longer run time but really boosted the speed.
They also got the motor really hot and I'd have to rest the buggy between runs.
I later got the Truck conversion kit for both and made one a 1950 Ford and the other a Ford stadium Truck with big tires all around.
They ran very well and I had many Years of enjoyment from them both.
After all those Years I finally got back into the sport and thankfully Losi is still in business.
I got the Ten T Tuggy and have really been having fun.
I forgot just how much fun these Trucks can be.
Thanks again for the memories.
