I want to say I've seen them before, but never paid much attention to them.

Finally have a complete set of logo buggy wheels. I love all the fruit loop colors from that time!

LXT Front Shock Towers A-1015 variation

Post by RogueIV »

Found this out while tearing down a parts truck. It appears later on in the production cycle Losi modified the LXT camber link locations on the front shock tower.

The newer tower has 4 camber locations. The 2 outside locations are the same as the original but the 3rd one in is about 2mm lower and a 4th hole is even lower by aprox 0.5mm.

I do know this variation was around for the GTX as it shows this version in the owner's manual but not sure exactly when it appeared.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

A1014 for the Pro SE had running changes as well. Here are the three camber link versions that I know of. I have compared it to the Jammin steering enhancement tower and none have holes matching the Jammin

I never noticed that before! I went through my stash and have the bottom ones. That top one with the 2 holes looks a lot like both of my Jammin ones though. I wonder what the thickness is because my Jammin are 3mm vs 2.5mm of the Losi ones.

My guess is that the 2nd one is the closest to the Jammin' one as far as the inner position is concerned.

Here’s a shock detail I just noticed.. Earlier shock bodies -Left- have a prominent machining center point on the very top and the top of the body isn’t flat, but radiused/scooped out. Compare to the later style body -Right- ..with the flat top and reduced machining marks.

A side note.. these are both 1.2 silver body shocks and shows the difference between a early vs late JrxPro buggy.

Early shocks also had a longer 'tab' on top, with the hole closer to the upper portion (not centered top to bottom). I don't have a picture as a comparison.
