Losi LXT build with hopups

Post by **mikea96** » Wed Feb 06, 2019 2:19 pm

Finally going to start my LXT build. Mostly new parts including aftermarket parts. Just waiting for a couple items to get here and I can start. I had a nice used chassis to use then found this new one but it wasn't cheap.

Damn, that is a great looking hoard of parts. Should be a very nice build. That RPM top brace is such a nice upgrade on these. Keep the pictures coming.

I still want to someday build a LXT and Junior T. I have never had either. I will be following your build to see what I can learn. Thanks!

Thank you! Titanium hinge pins just showed up so now just waiting on nip motor plate, rod ends, titanium turnbuckles and new springs.

Ok finally got started with the front end assembly. I have a set of NIP tecnacraft turnbuckles on the way and that is my last major piece required besides a body. More to come shortly.

I was about to order one when a new stock battery box popped up on ebay. Wish I could find a picture of what they look like installed.

Do you have any plans in mind for the body, yet?

Not yet was just thinking TBG repop!

Looking good. Did RPM make rear arms for the LXT?

Post by **mikea96** » Thu Feb 21, 2019 7:41 am

I dont think they did they only made the front arms.

It doesn't easily fit with the RPM front upper brace as the rpm part is bulkier around the attachment points making it harder to flex the battery holder, but it does fit.

Thanks for the photo and I definitely like how that looks.

Got more done today! Went to assemble the tecnacraft turnbuckles and they are way to long so I'm guessing they were miss packaged so will have to go another route now.
