Very cool, thanks. I don't remember that ad specifically but I did have one of the conversion kits for the LXT. I recall it being pretty nicely designed and it went together well but the chain drive seemed a bit janky to me.
I wasn't into nitro at all but I wanted something different to build and sold it without ever running it. The guy who bought it said it ran great.
Funny what some people remember that others don't, isn't it? A lot of aftermarket conversion parts were kinda crude back in the day compared to now. I've got some Duratrax chassis' that look like they were cut with a hand saw so, a janky chain drive sounds about par for the course.
Does anyone know the source of the right outdrive for the transmission below? I'm attempting to rebuild a Losi LXT/Duratrax Gas Conversion truck. As can be seen in the photo, the outdrive is deformed, and will not hold the drive shaft in place. The...

Thanks for the help, you put me on the right track. The Losi LXT I was using was based on an Lxt conversion. This uses an older transmission design and the out drives don't work on the Duratrax. I found true LXT outdrives and they fit.
A Blast from the Past! The Year 1993. Of course working in a hobby store it's got a few hop-ups added here and there. All the White Nylon was dyed yellow.

One issue you might notice...the wider your track gets in relation to your wheelbase, the more twitchy the steering will become. Wider track gives you improved steering, but too much is just as bad as too little. :)
it steers great on my shelf lol...
See post #43 for current pictures. All other pictures lost…..
Going to base this off of what someone would have built in the beginning of the nitro craze before conversion kits were available. Only sacrifice to original parts will be a used...

Skinny tires and cut windows. Now it needs a windshield banner to cover up the scratch I made.
First time on this forum, I found it a few days ago. There is some really cool stuff and some great info to be found. I thought I'd post a couple of photos of a truck that I've had since 1996-ish. It's an Rc10T with a nitro conversion. I believe it...
