FWIW, the upper deck support standoffs are about 2mm short. None of the pics capture it, but the upper deck angles up where it connects to the front bulkhead. Further, the piece of plastic you screw into the base chassis plate when running the long setup (to hold the battery) does not fit under the top deck. This is kind weird because the chassis has the holes in it for this part, but you cannot fit this part. If the standoffs were long enough to not have the angled front end, it would also also allow the fitment of the part I just mentioned. So, I shall be making some black plastic or aluminum units. Aluminum would be nicer, but the hassle of tapping them might drive me to just cut some plastic tubing I already have.

Are they even Losi tires? I like them too, but don't think I have ever seen them before.
They were just the coolest looking out of the 3 pair I received from the auctions. And they cleaned up nice! Simple Green is magical.

i'm 95% sure that those front tires are associated. i'm trying to remember from back then. i'm almost positive they came in a rc10t team truck kit, the early ones, when they still came with the narrow fronts. a guy i raced with back in the day bought one from the hobby shop where i worked, at the time. i'm pretty sure that's were i saw them.

or...........................

a buddy of mine bought an lxt conversion kit back in the day. they might have been in there. i not totally sure now.

i might be wrong on both. :?

They only fit properly if I have the lever pointing in as shown in the pic. If I flip them so they are like the OEM cranks (lever pointing out), the arms are not parallel and the geometry is whack.
The bar is from MIP, I have the same one. Mine did not come with the cranks, but I assume those might be MIP as well.

Those are the front tires I'm looking for for my early 7001 10T. :(

but hey, at least my first guess was right. :D

hobbycloseout(s) ebay store (not sure if it's plural). They have a variety of Losi tires... maybe what you are looking for.

Nice rigs Ron! The XXT morph is ba ba ba ba BAAAD!

Yo templedude, I am not nearly in love with these tires as you. If you can help me find whatever originally came on an LXT, you can have these. They are not new, but they look pretty nice!

I'll see what I can find, those tires are my current holy grail. Thanks!

Uhhh, what tires go on the front of an LXT? A7505?? aliacbanrafsanjarne (the closeout chassis dude) has a pile of those NOS along with IFMAR pins and some other Losi tires on ebuY.

Let me know in the BST or by PM as to not make any waves in this forum.

I am happy with the not factory shipped tires on it now, but if I change, I'd want to put whatever shipped with the truck.
One of the reason I was looking for an LXT manual :idea:

First step, find the part numbers - I am failing so far. I can't seem to even round up any pics.
Second step, acquire the parts - have not even started
Third step, send you the tires in the pics

They are glued, BTW. Is that a huge issue? I think it is, unless you like Losi wheels or have some magic remover trick :?

You are a real genius. I've had this idea of turning my RC10 into a truck but without luck as its kinda difficult to get AE parts in SG...Haiz!

I have a trick on glued tires. Or, should I say there are several removal options varying in severity. :wink: Boil, bake, acetone bath. :twisted: Boiling usually works, baking may sort of sacrifice the wheels, acetone sometimes does funny things to the rubber, and I usually use it just to save wheels, not tires. Hopefully the "gluer" didn't do too good of a job... :shock:

I did a little rooting around and I think the front tires you want are a straight rib A-7500, which were last used on the bushing XX-T and GTX trucks.

Again, when daddeo gets his... you'll know. 8)
