Hi guys - thanks for the kind words, heartwarming, a lot of elbow grease went into this baby and I really cherish it.
To me Losi really revolutionized the 2wd offroad world with its smart use of plastic... when you look at an LXT and a 10T next to each other, it's obvious which car looks the most technically advanced!
I inherited this car, used, in 1995... the previous owner, a much older guy than me ( I mean more than twice my age... and ininitely more cash to spend on RC at the time) used to order a lot of stuff from the US, hence the option parts already on the car (tunrbuckles, gear cover, ...), I remember he always had Sheldon's and Stormer's latest flyers laying around at his place.
This is the body he sold it to me with, I remember he mentioned he bought it, painted, from the US too (could very well be Andy's). Stickies are period Autographics of Cali. Body was in okayish shape at the time of resto, it got a thorough cleaning, some fender mender, plus paint touch-ups where needed, and other make-up tricks, and if you don't look from too close enough it looks pretty darn good now
Still a bit of work to do on the car though - I have to mount that newly found Pro SE chassis, plus switch back the the stock a-arms (the RPM ones were mounted on as I initially expected to make this car a runner), plus new motor plate, and so on so forth...
if anyone could point me to a good source of stock screws, the big fat black ones that hold stuff to the chassis (what are they again, 6/32 or sthing) I'd be very grateful!
Glad you liked this car - Absolutely fantastic piece of engineering, great testimony to Junior's and Pop's car designing skills!
