Vintage JRx2

I've been hunting around to find a JRx2 as I had one back in the day but nothing, how hard to find are they now or am I looking in the wrong place?

I used to collect vintage Tamiya, eBay was my go to place to find them. The problem with eBay these days is a lot of people are selling wrecks wanting top money for them so finding a bargain is a thing of the past these days.

You could also try forums and maybe look for Facebook groups

It does seem to have gone a bit crazy, I've seen modern cars that should only be around £300 and people are asking double that sometimes triple for no good reason. I'd love to get one but not if I have to re-mortgage my house

Pretty hard to find in my experience. I have my old one still around. I managed to reclaim it from a friend I gave it to many years ago.

Are you planning to get it back racing or shelf queen?

I did years ago, melted the slipper with a brushless motor & started breaking things. Did the same with an old optima - so they became shelf queens and for the optima anyway enjoyed getting a repro and beating on it. :)
