It's a JRXT, the next truck out was the LXT with the molded chassis and longer suspension arms. The JRXT that you have there was the first "race level" truck offered by any manufacturer, after the JRXT everyone went to longer suspension arms and a less scale looking truck. The JRXT was the first ROAR truck national champ, driven by Jammin' Jay

I could be wrong, but I don't think the production first-gen JRXTs used the 4-link rear suspension.

I think you're wrong, it looks totally genuine, except for the rear springsRER40 wrote:I could be wrong, but I don't think the production first-gen JRXTs used the 4-link rear suspension.

The jrx-T's all had the 5- link rear end. The side bulkheads were changed somewhere along the way to be a little stiffer, and other subtle changes were made, but the jrx-t did not have h-arms as box stock.
The junior-T was the first truck to have them and the pro was the first buggy with h-arms.
Nice truck, just blow off the dust.

We'd found that the 4-link, while great in premise, that the front chassis mounts flexed too much (I think A&L made delrin mounts that were really sturdy) even using buggy rims and tires and broke too easily. We continued to use the 4-link on really rutted surfaces, but mostly ran the H-arms the rest of the time.
I did like the 4-link on my trucks, I just don't remember them being in the production kits.

Nice truck Bill.
If you're planning to restore that to original specs, you'll need:
90 tooth gray spur gear
white jrxt bell cranks
black progressive rear springs.
Can't be 100% sure, but I think you may have an LXT body.

not really sure what my plans for it are yet. Like I said, never been a Losi guy.
