I bought this locally after it was already the old model, so I think it cost me a whopping $99 at the time. The darn Picco .12 engine was almost double that. I bought a nice Futaba FM radio just for this thing too.
And it was never truly driven. I never managed to get the flywheel on correctly. It always loosened so it would stall. I think I took it apart a dozen times trying to get it to work.
Now it sits on the shelf. Hasn't seen the dirt in 10 years probably. Makes me sad how much time I sunk into it and never really enjoyed it though.
There's no point having a used r/c car sitting around if you don't have any good memories of it. I would use it or sell it.
Do you think you could fix the problem?
. . . you have Associated Green Slime for brains. And not even new Green Slime, but old gooped out Green Slime.

I probably could now with a proper wrench and such.
It's low on the priority list though. I have a Clodbuster to modify and an Ofna to convert to electric.
Then I might take this one apart again and get it working.

I ventured into nitro once or twice over the years. I probably would've had more of them if I'd thought about using loc-tite back then

Yeah. Loctite was used after the first rebuild.
The initial build of the kit was delayed too due to the flywheel nut being incorrectly drilled. It's been the curse of the kit.
Nice NXT! I just love the look of losi's first gas truck. If you ever want to sell this off I would be interested. Is it a sign of a problem that I want a NXT just because I like their looks?
Anyways, nice truck
Hey folks,
Working on finally adding pages for the NXT and GXT to vintagelosi.com and I need pictures of GTX or NXT trucks.
Please only send them if they are your own pictures.
Thanks,
Dan

I have a BNIB NXT. Let me know if I can be of any help..... :wink:
It’s Team Losi day for me. I’ve had the GTX for a little bit now. Slowly “cleaning it up”. Mostly just slapping some new wheels, tires, and some graphite parts to glamour it up. When I bought it I didn’t realize the chassis was supposed to be black....

I’ve got a few more trucks to collect before it’s ready.
I do need to find a way to display my stuff though.
Doing more work on compatibility and found a few errors or inconsistencies in the NXT explode.
The transmission section is a mess. I have to get my hand on a manual and make changes to the explode for this truck.
Lists a3060 XX Slipper Shaft...

Thanks for offers, I have one or two NXT manuals coming my way soon.
I could use a copy of the GTX manual though.
Working on this for a customer. Figured what is good for the RC10GT guys should be good for the NXT crowd. No drilling the chassis, everything uses existing holes. Battery position has almost an inch of movement front to back. Still not loving that...
