Purple Losi Motor plate? anybody know anything? edit w/pic
Hi all,
I just came across some vintage parts, and among them is a losi motor plate for the jrx-2 series. it is anodized purple.
Does anyone know anything about this? I've never seen one before. did they make any other parts in special colors?
I can post pics tonight or tomorrow. I have a ton of parts to go through.
Thanks,
-Anthony

never heard of this but do check the treads here: there is one with all the details on different cutouts, and engravings. it may help to have the number of the original and see if the cutout for the link existed on that nr.
You may have been fooled , but hey, if being fooled brings you such a unique part, I would be happy to get fooled too.

you guys are correct on the staple, I hadn't noticed it.
Ibought 2 of them, both exactly the same.
There is a bar-code sticker on the back that has the part# as A-3002AP
This sticker is a distributor thing, the shop owner does not put them on. Maybe it was a promotional item for this particular distributor?

You might want to contact someone like Todd Hodge over at Losi. I'm sure Todd hasn't been there long enough to know, but he can find out for you... by probably asking Junior. I'd love to know, myself, because I think it's a non-Losi "improvement."

anthony, i don't know what info you happened to find out about that motor plate, but it must have been a distributor thing. i know where you got that, and i picked up a set of associated aluminum shock caps from them and they're anodized the same color purple. each package was restapled.
