Losi NXT-e (or GTX-e I suppose) electric conversion

Post by GoMachV »

Working on this for a customer. Figured what is good for the RC10GT guys should be good for the NXT crowd. No drilling the chassis, everything uses existing holes. Battery position has almost an inch of movement front to back. Still not loving that I have to make a Delrin piece to tie the upper to the trans but it’s a lot more rigid than the original NXT trans brace. I’ll have the motor plate laser cut from 6061 when I run my next batch of aluminum parts. Anyway, here are some teaser pics

Nice.

I was trying to buy a huge lot of stuff last year that included one of these. I wanted to do an e-conversion on it. Unfortunately the guy was a flake and I couldn't get them.

I have a xxx-not coming too, it will be next. I love nitro but lots of people sell them cheap enough that they are a great choice for conversion

Very nice work (as always). I'm intrigued, and may well be interested in one of these or the XXX-NOT ( :wink: ) version in the near future.

Sweet, that explains all those parts. Lot more XXXNT out there. Very few NXT and GTX in comparison.

Thought you actually wanted to put one together.
Still waiting on someone to restore a GTX and NXT for the picture albums on vintagelosi.com

I haven’t bought any losi parts in quite a while- although it could have been the owner of this chassis that did! I’m just making the conversion for him
