I really want this car to succeed, but question how it stacks up in terms of sales and wins. One usaully helps drive the other........Has Losi won a premiere event yet with the JRXS?
i also had the oppourtuntiy to drive one the week after cleveland and well, it was OK. I say OK because it drove well, but didnt feel revolutionary as I expected. This could just be the owner of the cars preferances in setup....
Now primarily, the reason I havnt bought one was because of personal issues causing me to just not WANT the car. Did I like another car more? No. I just didnt want anything to do with it. I have since gotten over it and today I should be receiving my JRXS... and with any luck, I can make it faster than my XXXS was.
As far as sales go... hopefully meester Hodge has an answer.. but in my opinion, there are a LOT of pro level chassis out there, too many to choose from. This may be a factor as well as the fact that it is probably the most tuneable chassis and to some, that could be a deterrant. I can see it being VERY easy to get off track with this car.
Time will tell.. im pretty confident that i will get this car around a track as well as I would any other car.

Ahh-for example-I just realized I had the front downtravel stops set at 2mm-because I changed antidive but didnt back the screws out.......But-lets hope I have stored that away in the grey matter and dont make that mistake again.
