I have a Pro SE with mismatched front arms. Looks like it has one JRx2 Arm and one Pro SE arm (broken). Since Pro SE arms seem hard to find, can I use a modern arm (like a XX or XXX) instead?

Ah, isn't that always the case! I have a separate Losi question. Exactly how different are the JRx2/Pro/ProSE/Junior2? Basically, will parts interchange like an early gold tub will interchange with a 90s graphite? Is a junior 2 basically a SE with plastic shock towers, a slightly different chassis, ...

Are the Pro SE chassis hard to find? Mine was sold to me as a Junior 2 chassis.

Highwayracer (or anyone else), Can you tell me which chassis I have? I know what they are "supposed" to be, but I want to check..... Thanks! IMG_2131sm.JPG IMG_2133sm.JPG Technically, it's the medium chassis in the jr series. Let me explain jrx2 - short graphite chassis (curved edge near t...

for those still looking for an optima mid shell (shortwheel base) I was trying out some ideas and noticed how much shorter the standard mid is compared to my '94 dogfighter. Here it is mocked up with a parma beetle shell. Is this a swb mid? I ended up buying the mid custom special body from marwan,...

Were they considered to be any good? They seem pretty smooth.

I found these in my parts box. They are mid 80's Trinity I think, but I really don't remember.

The beach down at the base of the Golden Gate is just ok, as they all are in Northern California. For a real beach, you guys need to see SoCal. I used to live 1 mile from The Strand in Manhattan Beach. From Malibu (think Baywatch) to Newport, the entire coast is gorgeous. Of course LA is a hard, exp...

I have a swb mid with the 255mm wheelbase. Thanks for the info, very helpful!

I know optima mids came in swb and lwb. I don't know for sure which I have. I did a search and couldn't find anything. Can anyone provide both the swb and lwb measurements?

Thanks!

What would you recommend for a brushless esc/motor combo for a runner. I am looking for a good balance of power with run time. It will probably get moved around between my T3 and possibly a Lazer ZX-5 that I have my eye on .

What brands and models should I be looking for? LRP, Mamba, Novak?

Thanks for the replies. One other question, can I use the h-arms off a modern losi (like an xxx) or do I need to search for vintage parts?

Hi all, I always wanted one of these back in the day, but went 4wd instead. I ended up with two (funny how that happens) and want to know if I should keep the 5-link or go with the a-arms. From what I can tell, there is little interest in vintage losi, so changing it from its original config isn't a...

Perfect! That answered everything.

I got a pink set. They're kind of ugly...
