figured i dont know much about them and my 4yr old son kept hawkeyeing my shelfers so we'll have a good bash session with the losi's .but they do look like in good condition but im not a losi guy. i always wanted a kyosho ultima based truck but figued i got enough ultima ,why not grab a losi truck/buggy
thanks all comment are welcome .as im in need of help perhaps some links to manuals as well
cheers

for the price I think you did well, they look fine. its hard to hurt a Losi. I have a extra jrxT manual and a NIP set of those wheels.

Welcome to the Losi forum!!! You did well. The ultima front end was the inspiration for front the jr series.

If you or your son will be running the car/truck on the street, make sure you use a chassis protector on the bottom. The losi graphite will produce some really nasty splinters.

Good luck on the build!!

i got one of the trucks today.not bad condition.they came with nice alloy shock collars and the bottom alloy mounts as well. i could use a manual for the tear down and rebuild.

Looks like good prces on those. There are manuals available on line, or pm bearrickster, looks like he can set you up. Losis are cool because so many parts are relatively easy to swap.

so i took one truck for a boot with some old green losi motor. not too shabby. im gonna toss my li po cells in it and a newer brushed motor. then a brushless mamba in it . will it hold up gear wise? my son is 4 and had his 1st attempt at driving. does losi make a 4way wrench like the kyosho ones? all my tools are for kyosho's .
its my 1st truck as well and its pretty cool. cant charge batteries fast enough for my son to go driving lol

Ahhh..
How could you leave KYOSHO??
You got some good deals on those trucks.
I actually have a few myself. They r nice.
Enjoy them with your son..

well i finally stripped the main gear inside the gearbox. doesnt loo all that bad but its jamming up. theres like two washers inside the gear it appears they are not centered . is this a factor.
if i was to dismantle the two truck to make one good one wich truck is better?

You see!! The Kyosho GODS r warning U!.

i know lol and im totally not liking the way the gear box is set up compared to kyosho's lol had my fun they may have to be up for grabz lol
like i say i wanna take the best parts of the two and build one good one for my son and sell the rest off.

I have a bunch or gear parts for them so send me a pic and I may be abe to help you. Free of charge. ( So you can have fun with your son - until the next one breaks )

As my name suggests, I WAS a Tamiya junky until I saw my first JRX2 Junior - I am now on the Losi wagon and slowly selling my Tamiya fleet off to make room for more Losi buggies and trucks!! You can not honestly beat Losi for quality, style, and handling.... welcome to my addiction!!!

Hey Conrad.

I hope to have my JRX2 5 link up and running by sat as well. Always loved it and is really a shealf queen but decided to run along with my new JRX2 Truck that would have been ready but the new body shell is no good. Waiting on another shell.

So i will have my Metal Hot Shot with a fully rebuilt Hot Shot 2.

Vintage Losi are great.

See you SAT.
