Re: Losi Truck Identification
HI Guys,
Man that is too funny that this truck was finally noticed. This was one of my first "projects" I put together when i had just started working for Team Losi. I actually built and painted this (i was learning how to use my airbrush at the time). I even made the stickers (sheesh I made so many of those stickers back in the day, I was literally our sticker guy ). We had just received the A7690 street tires and I mocked up this truck to show them off. It never went anywhere and somehow ended up in our conference room. The truck is just a XX-T with a ton of spacers in the shocks to lower the ride height. Other than that it's bone stock. One of these days when I have a place for it, I'll take it home.
Here's a better pic:
BTW I was into racing my 93 Toyota truck at the time and was inspired by TRD (Toyota Racing Development)

Re: Losi Truck Identification
Cool, thanks Rich for the picture.... so thats my shell design sorted for my XXT (or variation of) If nobody else minds?
P.S; I love those tyres - I must admit I cannot say that i've ever seen those.... but they do look to have a very similar tread design as the standard tyres supplied with the Street Weapon sedan

Re: Losi Truck Identification
Yup we sold these for a couple years...not the greatest seller but we did. the part number was LOSA7690 S or R...pretty sure they were R's.bearrickster wrote:Rich, did these tires ever make it into stock or production?

I believe we called them LST-90's....I'm not sure why we called them that....losi speed tires? LOL I can't remember.
BTW thanks all for the kind comments. I don't have the best memory when it comes to these cars but I'll do my best to help when I can.
