Ok she is a roller now. I have a nip B&R mod motor to install and I'm looking to install a new hydra drive. Found a new A&L liberator body here and will paint it when it gets here. This has been a really fun build.

Wow, that looks really good! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the body.

Awesome LXT... to me the first "modern" car with the Pro-SE... absolute plastic engineering marvel
Yours is totally yummy!

Thanks guys! I have always loved the LXT as it was the first stadium truck i raced along with my pro se. Hopefully i can do a decent paint job on the body and I haven't decided if i want to leave the wheel caps clear or paint them.

Hydra drive installed and looks great. Now I need to paint the body and find the rest of the electronics.

For a shelfer, absolutely perfect motor and label!
For a runner, it might be a bit harsh to that fanstatic colered stickie...

This is definitely destined for shelf duty!

Phew!
That's why I have two LXT... shelfer (which is actually a full restored one that I had as a teen) and runner (which recently chewed some LRM parts, but that's another story

)
Looking forward to the finished product!

Looking super nice. We will need some nice outside pictures from you soon. Great looking truck!
BTW - I love to see this (below). I always align the Phillips head screws when possible.

Hey Mike is that B&R the 21S that was on eBay last month? If so I'm glad you snagged it.

Your LXT build is looking sharp.
