All, can you help me identify the Losi truck arrowed in the pic below, I have no idea what it is! Looks like XXT/LXT wheels, but the tyres look low profile and the whole car looks fairly squat.

I am not much into trucks? For some reason I like the buggys better. I dont want to speak for him but he took better pictures of the Junior 2 a few weeks ago for Faster?

I'd say its a XXT with some low profile tyres on it - I think I can see a green spur gear through a clear lexan cover... the shell looks XXT too IMO

Would be cool if you get a reply from Rich - especially if he sends you some better pics 8)

There are only 2 companies that make a low profile tire like that, duratrax and proline and the duratrax were less popular and a little taller-
