There were two parts to Project Optima. Part 1 was from December 1987 and Part 2 was from February 1988. Scans are attached.

Wow. Looking great! I don't think I knew that MIP made dogbone outdrives for the LRM, very cool!

Here goes. This will be a mostly stock build of a JRX2 Proformance buggy. However, I couldn't help but finally open up my Uber rare gold Losi shock bodies.

I removed the mount on top of the transmission case. I feel it's a much cleaner look without them.

More to come.

Been meaning to do this for ages , it's a gear cover for the pinion and spur , it won't seal it all completely as it can't be sealed at the bottom of the chassis but it should stop crap raining down on the gears . https://i.imgur.com/2hUclQQl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZjOMTwTl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/...

Anyone else watch these?

There are several interviews and lots of history. There are several "episodes" with hopefully more to come, soon. I found it fascinating.

Just watched part 1. Really cool to see what was going on behind the scenes. For most of us, our only window into any of this were the mags and catalogs, RCCA, etc.

A few pics of "Steve-topia"

Nice and clean, the battery straps are Schumacher Procat/bosscat items, plenty of atermarket carbon at fibrelyte in the uk if you want to go that way, im playing with an original ZX at the moment. I got some kyosho reproduction pepper pot style wheels that are resized to 2.2" for modern tyres f...

Post your Losi pictures here!

I thought it would be great to have a STICKY thread here where everyone posts their favorite pictures of all their Losi vehicles. This can help make up for all the lost pictures from Photo bucket.

The following is a realistic representation of what mine looks like.

I scored a couple of very well used Pro 10s nearly two years ago. They'd been converted to nitro, consequently, both the motor mounts were hacked. A lot of the parts are re-useable. I have a few new parts to add to the mix as well. This will be a shelfer as I have an SG Coyote that I will run. Plus ...

I did the body, was real hard too.
