PRO SE body trouble

[vintage racer]

Hi,I have bought a repro Pro SE body and am fitting it at the moment but having trouble at the front.I cant see any possible way that the body can pass through the front tower.Has anyone else had this problem?

[bearrickster]

Yes it is way to wide I was cutting mine today and found the same thing. I just cut mine down to a thin tab to stick through. sorry for the poor pics I am tired and medicated so I will do better tomorrow I hope this helped

Cool thanks Rick,thats disapointing,I really liked the shape of the front.

Yeah, same goes with mine. Seems they had the body done before the front shock tower....

Me to I fun the Losi XX A-8008 body on my Racer Pro se, I like it better than the Pro se body. it looks alot better and I like the fit better. just take your time and cut slowly and you can get them to fit great. here are pics of my pro se with the xx body

I think your right there Brandon,looks like a Losi after thought.
That xx body looks real good Rick,how did you get those xx wheels on there and what wing is that?

Hmmm. i haven't tried to cut mine yet. That is going to suck!

Thank you, you need RPM jrxt truck arms, and a set of xx carriers, you need to drill out the lower hinge pin were it connects to the arm to 1/8 install just as normal. it was the best way to run 2.2 wheels and I wanted them to match. with out the truck arms the front is to narrow and it pushes in the turns. this car is a xx in pro se clothing.

I will get back to you on the wing I dont remember.

here you go on the wing I like the plastic wings the lexan one didnt hold up for me the guys at the track I raced it at were rough and tried to beat it to death : OFNA Wing, Yellow:CRT.5

I'm a Losi rookie, but wasn't the SE body designed specific to the plastic (wider) shock towers of the Junior Two, and that car pre-dated the SE by just a bit?

[bearrickster]

I dont think so the Junior and Pro se bodies are very similar but not the same. you can see the similarties but also the differences. you can see the progressions through the whole line of Jrx bodies

The original bodies were cut away where it went around the shock tower if I remember correctly.

That ones a pro,the shock tower is allot wider than the pro se.Nice car,is it yours?

Wish it were mine. I actually owned a team drivers (Dennis Taylor) JrX2; it was a prototype for the JrX Pro. It had the H arms, ball bearing diff gear, and a raw fiberglass front shock tower that used rear shocks. I'd love to get a hold of a JrX Pro in great condition.

If that pic is from TBG.... that is a Junior 2 body, not a Pro or Pro SE. They are different.
