I ordered some custom colored XX4 decals from MCI. There are some small printing mistakes, but otherwise I think they look great. The chrome doesn't show in the pictures too well.

I am still trying to decide on paint for this car.

Thats awesome man! Thank you! This answers my question exactly.

Got some "desk mods" on the work station. I was tired of having to go to the shed every time I needed a vise. I looked at several of the smaller "clamp on" types but they all looked like garbage (the reviews confirmed it). So I went with a Irwin drill press vise and some JLC Prod...

'89 Lumina found at my LHS.

Nice restoration from a crusty truck! Interesting seeing the front shock tower variations.. I think that darker, blue tinted anodizing was late ProSE/LXT. I have some shock bodies with the same color too.

Nice touch with the carbon towers.

Today, I started by reviewing the bath tub. I reveiewed the profile differently, and the sheel worked this time... https://i.imgur.com/7z0eY5J.jpg And now, it participate to the protection of the belt https://i.imgur.com/9SKoJmw.jpg While at it, I also tackled the rear belt cover. It's a very simple...

I was looking at the old Losi Tech Talks and saw this mention of the LXT shock tower change.

I started messing around with trying to implement the 5-4 rear camber link setup. Mentioned before, the challenge is the #5 hole location in the bulkhead is normally occupied by a 4-40 screw that vertically ties the chassis to the bulkhead. I first went looking for a long enough 4.8mmxM3 ball stud t...

While I was taking it apart I noticed something odd. LXT apparently changed the front shock tower design for the camber links at some point during the LXT/GTX/NXT production run. Same part number but different holes. https://i.postimg.cc/jWMQgYCK/IMG-20221105-145740670.jpg I wonder if it correspond...

good stuff, i have a JRXT/2 i just started working on... it still is covered in dirt from the track when i put it in the box 30 years ago. this is a great build, following!

The A-1005 & A-1012 front axles are both the same length…I measure .700” length from the shoulder to the end of the axle on both of them. The only difference is the set screw to lock it against the king pin. What you are seeing on your LXT is correct due to the added inner spacer…all the other e...

Decided to show my shelfer some love today with:

Lunsford trailing arms
A&L/Factory Works front and rear shock towers
JG front body mount
MIP bellcranks
Andy's front arms
RPM upper shock bushings

More to come

I've heard that the Lunsford kit takes care of the 5-link lean though don't know for sure and I'm not going to test them lol

Got it painted and most of the decals on. I've got a Hornet Z parts tree coming, which will take care of the lights and driver. After the driver is mounted, I can finish the roof decals. Considering that the Bear Hawk decals weren't designed for this body, I think they look pretty decent. Screenshot...
