Thanks Terry, I couldn't see that on the sales page, just said optional extras, ?
And I agree, velcro tape just seems cheap

Terry.sc and Frankentruck make valid points about the chassis, You cant even buy saddle pack LiPos any more, but velcro? really? seems very crude. Surely the engineers could come up with a better clamp, either low profile or normal square profile. The original chassis has allowances for the 6 and 7 ...

Must admit I'm a little underwhelmed, Other than the LWB Chassis, radio plate and belt/covers, its no different to my original RERE. I appreciate its not a clone, and its a representation, still they have parts in their catalogue they could of included. It doesn't have sway bars OTW135 No Ball diffe...

Stumbled across these Kyosho Maxxum FF front arms on FB. They are Rare, and he had 2 sets!!! Im trying to piece one together and after a few texts we caught up for an hour on the phone. Seller was a depth of knowledge about Early Kyosho, and put me straight on Lazers, ZXR's and assisted me with part...

been having a few problems with the Rear hub pivot pins, Only found one of the 4 required plastic "C" clips to hold the pin in the right place. With age and wear those pins were trying to slide out on their own, without anything better to use, and trying to source those clips was not easy....

Was trial fitting some wing wire I bent up and couldn't figure out why it wasn't sitting parallel? Checked the rough lengths, angles were square etc. Turns out some Vintage Pukekohe dried Mud from Counties RC car club had wedged itself deep in the posts, simple green and soap didnt move it. Had to d...

Playing around with fitting a battery LiPo cradle, Sussed out the pair of rearward holes for the battery clamp aligned with the spacing for the cradle, So i cut some carbon and made a strap across between the tailing arm mounting holes. (not used on the Pro) And drilled/countersunk some M3 screws up...

Found these old Proline Wheels a while back and grabbed them, turns out they have a "dirtguard" which is simply a bit of lexan you need to cut out and fit internally, 2559 front wide, and 2660 Rears. Liking the wheels, just having trouble finding 2" tyres to fit the wide front rims. I...

Gotta love parts support from Losi, Thanks to Matt here in NZ I sourced Losi LOSA5023 (Shock spring clamps and cups), and Losi LOSA5015 (Double o ring cartridge) Not exactly the same but made the rebuild so easy. Gave the bodies a clean and polish up with some brasso, and fitted them back together. ...

Found this reply from GOMACHV a few years back, he is in the thread and a quote from MYTIMAC who had a comment from Gil Losi Jr regarding the bell cranks.

Hi Gents, Thanks for your input, Great to bounce ideas around appreciate its not exact with swing etc, but I think I will run out of travel on the steering knuckles before it becomes apparent on the bellcranks? Measred 19.4mm on one throw, and 23.5 mm on the other so there is some discrepancy. And i...

So ran out of daylight and patience trying to get the rear drive hubs fitted with the internal e clips. I have one of the 4 required plastic clips to center it in the h arm. Think ill need to use some alloy spacers and drill them to 1/8" from 3mm. Rediscovered a Ball raced steering kit id put a...

It seems amazing to me that this car could have had a dozen owners prior to my receiving it in a banana box of bits and pieces. Gone full circle from state of the art, to club racer, to run down entry car, to backyard basher, and now collectable again Pulled apart and rebuilt a couple of dozen times...

As I was pulling out the parts again I had to clean the rust off most of the hinge pins, found a really easy was to run them in the drill, and use a scotch brite Dremel bit, running the counter way. Came up a lot better than using wet and dry sandpaper alone. The wing tubes were seriously bent, warm...

Assembled up the front 3D printed bulkhead, perfect fit.
Much easier using the Stainless cap screws rather than the aluminum Philips drive screws they used to have.
Try to run a tap through initially but didn't have this one on hand, sacrificed a screw instead.
