My track is going to be indoor capet in a month and I'm going to put away my 8ight and get a jrxs type r. Does anyone with experience with xray, losi, Tamiya, HPI have any opinion on the durability of the losi jrxs type r compared to the original jrxs and/or other high end touring cars. Also, at club races, is the type r competitive with xray, tamiya, tc5's hpi's etc.??

thanks for the info.

I have been running losi since I got into the hobby. Moved over to xray about a year ago. I'm back to the losi type r. Much better platform and a lot more user friendly. Setup is available. All the guys at my track are starting to realize what a great car it is and jumping the schumacher, xray tamiya ship and heading for losiville!!

well i did ditch the type r for the mi3 but now i ditched the mi3 and im back with the type r!!

Well, the only few things that i would say it would need is a set of tyres that work on the carpet surface, and a bit of time setting it up. The car has everything you would need to set it up for carpet racing. A set of swaybars would be nice, but not essential. I upgraded from a TA-05, and they are also quite nice to drive on carpet too.... but I'm heaps quicker with the R!!

Thanks!

I will have to find a used JRXS-R or just pony up and buy a new kit.. They arent that spendy compared to my moore speed lol.... Atleast at my lhs they arent very bad

LOL.. But hey, 80% driver, 20% car.. I want to see the tc5 go in stock, You should Clint!

I built a brand new car for Vegas and this past weekend was the first time running it. We got lucky enough to run at Horsham's facility before it's officially removed from the complex it's in. I think we get to run again this weekend too.

Horsham is the newer version CRC carpet and we run Paragon. My setup I'm working on is attached to this post. Feel free to try it. The car turned a pretty good amount, but could have used a little more. You just have to be careful running 4 Magentas without a front sway bar. The car can be difficult to drive if you are not smooth on the wheel. Sudden movements can make the car step out, which will kill corner speed.

This is just a work in progress. It's part of testing that Larry and I are doing for Vegas. This is by no means a final setup, but something to try.
