The LXT above and the JRX Pro SE below were made possible by these humble, homely kits:

The JRX Pro SE

The wheels are the wrong color and for the non SE version and the tires are wrong in the rear. Oh well, I had them and they were doing nothing :)

Anyone have a gear cover for me?

Ya, and I have no idea where I got it. It was just laying there in my Losi drawer.
One of the problems quite a few people had with these kits was getting the servo saver and steering linkage to fit under the brace. RPM fixed that problem by increasing the clearance. It sits quite a bit taller.

Looks like it with the kink and the stand offs on the back side. Cool part.

A&L chassis kit

Post by Ron Jeremy »

This was a fun build. All the screws and nuts are metric. Kinda interesting.

Here it is a few years ago when I bought the kit.

For some reason, I gave up building it back then. Luckily, I had it nicely packed away and didn't lose any parts. I remember parts not fitting or something. This forum motivated me to try again, with a renewed vigor and enthusiasm not seen by many Laughing
As it turns out, everything fits just fine. Perhaps beer makes me smarter?

Had some problems with the board code not liking an ampersand (&) in the picture file name. Interesting...

OK, that was probably one or two too many :roll:


The leftovers of the leftovers made this truck. This will be my basher/runner. Perhaps it will get a few weird looks at the track 8)

I though they were Trinity, a Tower search found them in silver only:

I bought an organizer box full of those things. Nuts, screws, countersink buttons (if that is what you call them!)... of all different sizes. Probably over a 1,000 pieces in blue and red. I got them from a guy at the track who was getting out of RC. So, sadly, I have no idea where to get them... except from out of my box :lol: :twisted:
