Interesting note, for as "old" as everyone makes out this car to be, I found a doc that I made when I got the car, 3/2007 so 3 years, sure that's old in x-ray years, but really not bad 
I owned 4 of them in that time too, lol.

Well, just picked up one of these sweet looking JRX-S Type Rs. Got a lot of reading to do. Looking forward to tinkering with it.

Driveshaft outdrives run through the tubes, and would be the same items as supplied with a Xray Spec-R diff.
I'm already investigating getting some made, just it's taking time...

About the only things extra you need are the FF Layshaft, Mcmaster thrust bearing and a bag of shims.

Picked up a roller in very good condition for a very good price. I plan to race it in RCGT. For peace of mind I want to rebuild the diffs, the front feels funny, it is very tight but then gets a little easier and then tight again as I counter rotate it, the back feels a little gritty. So, the question is what is a good starting point for adjusting these once they are rebuilt? I will be running on high traction pavement but with HPI Rubber wheels, the instruction are not too clear.

Just received my JRX-S type R today. First thing I had to do is run it through the dish washer to get the drool off of it.

I have to say this car is really good. I run asphalt on Sunday and carpet on Tuesday and all I change on the chassis is the ride height.
The car is super fast and just shocks me every time. The car is so responsive with just the smallest change. The best way I have found to cut down lap time for me is to play around with the roll center height. I am running low rear with a .050 and .075 in height which is magic on both surfaces!
I am going to try a different chassis for this fall but I may be disappointed.
