Thanks to Tom N, here are scans I made of the manuals. He mailed me these and the NXT manual recently.

I don't have a link off vintagelosi.com right now. I haven't really thought about how I would integrate them into the site. They are kind of newer than what I consider vintage and don't really share many parts with the other stuff.
Which really got me thinking, has anyone asked why Losi just doesn't host all the old manuals on their site? Many other companies still have old manuals available for download. It is not like they take up much space or bandwidth. Anyway, here they are for now, and these links are the only ones to them until I revamp vintagelosi.com to support them.

First, that avatar is disgusting! LOL

As for the manuals, it' not really space or bandwidth, it's more so that a lot of the old files are lost or don't exist any longer. Over the years we had several different people doing manuals, including myself. Back in the days when we were a smaller company, we didn't take very good care of saving our old manuals and documents. I remember several times having computers crash and losing that stuff.

In the mean time, yes we could scan the manuals that we do have, however we just don't have the resources to spend on doing something like that right now. Maybe someday we can get an intern and they could do it but for now, we are so swamped with new projects and keeping up that it's not likely to happen anytime soon.
