The LXT has an injection molded composite chassis. Could be a JRXT or a JuniorT maybe?

JRXT was the only Losi truck with a flat graphite chassis, after that they went plastic. The Losi LRM tranny didn't look like a stealth though. You might be thinking of a Traxxas Blue Eagle LS, it had a graphite plate chassis and the tranny was a close copy of the stealth.

I'm no expert but all of the Losi transmissions I have look like that or they are the grey retrofit ones but shaped the same.

Some of the later LRM trannies had grey plastic. Same shape though. The retrofit tranny was skinnier than the original, but still boxy looking from the side. Perhaps you are thinking of a MIP tranny that was installed to replace the stock one? That's about the only stealth lookalike that would show up in a Losi.
The rear arms were probably either the RPM conversion, or the later H arms put on a JRXT. The Junior T had them, and lots of people swapped the JRXT 5 link out for these arms.
