Losi JRX Pro SE

Recommended Posts

I got this on a popular site for $30.00 US (postage included)

Looks about the correct price for it lol.

Was in pretty rough condition lol but I noticed the black mass inside of the slipper cover and said to myself "what the badword" and bought it.

this is how it looked when I got it:

Here's how she looks at the moment. Note the chopped-up chassis & front brace...Not a big deal, it's still strong enough.

Added some shoes:IMG_1606.thumb.JPG.761ea6100958911da1047429c4c4aad9.JPG

Wrapped the underside with some black vinyl :IMG_1607.thumb.JPG.66e4486b225bc3817dd309148a153112.JPG

Had to use some shoe goo so it got a little messy but totally removeableIMG_1609.thumb.JPG.c1ed30c12228605e9e40232744f31d34.JPG

Gonna make a nice runner. Not a shelf Queen but I'd still say it's a good display piece once I get a body.IMG_1611.thumb.JPG.db141885c09ed7ec45d5ff1e62ac20b2.JPG

Some interesting parts fitted on that car, the rear uni joints are actually from the XX Retrofit gearbox, but yours has the standard low rotating mass gearbox fitted , the standard ProSE slipper has been removed and it has the Hydra drive slipper installed.

The gearbox drive cups are from the retrofit gearbox too,

Has the motor plate been painted ?

Is there still fluid in the Hydra drive or has it leaked out? There is a little plug in the black housing which is the fill port.

It is good to see a SE still with the swept front arms intact.
 

Nice  job by the way, these cars are fantastic vintage racers, a little too clinical for my taste as runners,/bashes but I do have a few for that purpose 

The white rims aren’t the easiest to find in that condition either.
 

I really love the early Losi, especially the JRX2’s

Snappy1:

Yea the motor plate looks like a possible powder coat, maybe it's really stout paint IDK which but it's not commin off anytime soon that's 4 sure.

Yea there is still some fluid in the hydra, I took out one of the plugs and it started to ooze a bit so I plugged it back in lol.

I like it, it is pretty long wb, and can be stretched a bit further, I suppose for the truck variant?

Gonna try to fit her with some pink/green springs too.

Thanks for checking out my post!

Yes the longer wheelbase holes in the chassis are for the LXT
