My Vintage Losi Fleet

Post by WriteDean »

Hi All,
I have been restoring a few vintage Losi cars and trucks -
JRX2 (JRs Choice Motor)
JRXT (MTM Motor)
JRX Pro (Slot Machine Motor)
and nearly done with an LXT (Mighty Motor/Trinity)

I have all period correct speed controls in each car/truck. My question, what radio should go where.
I have the following radios/receivers on hand
2 Airtronics XL2Ps
2 Futaba Magnum JRs (version 2, smaller sleeker design)
1 Futaba Magnum Sport (Same style as the JRs)
1 Ko Propo EX-1 (Green handle/grip)
1 Futaba PCM1024 (FP-3PB)

Thanks again -

Nice group! The PCM radio was new at the same time as the JRX2, so it could go with any of them.

Lookin good Dean!

Let me know if you need anything for your LXT build, I have quite a few spare bits for them around in my stash.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Thank you - Not too sure what turn that Trinity motor is. The armature is red but not marked. It looks to be a triple too
