Losi LXT Rear Drive Shaft Help Please

Post by Snaab9-2 »

Hello,

So I picked up another used Losi LXT. This one seems in decent shape over all with one major issue. The right rear driveshaft is broken/missing (pictures attached). I got a few accessories that included rear universal shafts and I think they might fit the truck.

It looks like plastic universal shafts were the stock option (I guess I have the stock ones that came with the truck best I can tell in the attached picture).

Does anyone know if the specialized metal dogbone that is mounted in my truck on the left side is still in product or if it was some specialty piece? Would it be worth finding the metal dogbone style ones or just try running the plastic ones that look like might fit the truck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is all new to me! Thank you!

Edit - it looks like I have the "retrofit" setup:

And this might work? Edit - I just bought it as it seems like they are almost nonexistent on the internet and this one seemed reasonably priced (and free shipping). I hope this does the trick!

You ordered the correct dogbone. The telescoping driveshafts can be used with the retrofit trans if you get the A-3095 outdrives.

Thank you!

Do you know if bodies from other LOSI 1/10 scale trucks fit the LXT or even if a body from other brands fit?

Than you!
