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. 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 Jamm...

The Jammin I have on file has camber link holes higher than the highest one on the two of the three variations I have

I traveled to Del Mar in July of 1985 to attend the first 1/10 scale off road championships. I had a 35mm SLR camera and took 50+ pictures. Some good, some not so good.

Here is a dedicated post with pictures of the winning 2WD machine from 1987 from my visit to the Kyosho booth.
The original JJ modified Kyosho Ultima and the trophy.

Original body pictures. According to Akira, Kent Claussen (12th scale racing legend) was the TRINITY logo design creator. Claussen was also the owner of the LAVco company. Akira's friendship with Kent led to the use of the classic vintage stickers enjoyed on the reissue model today.
