Hey everyone! Thought I would share some pics of my LX-T for interest sake and to reminisce.

Back in the 90’s I turned my LX-T into a dedicated indoor carpet off-road racer. Was such a fun and competitive truck, and I got lots of compliments on the body design :lol:

I also have a XX-T and LX-T/Duratrax nitro conversion I’ll have to dig out and take some pics of. All have been retired for a couple decades now (I miss my racing days).

Here’s my mostly stock XX-T. Was only ever used for dirt off-road and won me a lot of races, loved it ❤️

Ha thanks @RETRO R/C It was the perfect sized sticker and was a requirement at the track that all chassis screwheads were covered so as not to snag on the carpet.

And here’s my third Losi (I really should give it a full detailing), it’s an LX-T with a rare Duratrax nitro conversion kit. This was from the early 90’s nitro craze when there were very few race competitive 1/10 stadium trucks as 1/8th 4WD buggies were still the kings of nitro. I raced this for many years including the Gas off-road world challenge in 92 and 93 at Freedom Hill in Auburn Hills Michigan (it’s now a big amphitheater!) where I got Jack Johnson and Jammin Jay Halsey’s autographs on my t-shirt like the nerd kid I was (and yes I still have a t-shirt from 1992) :lol: In 93 I got to race against (and lose badly to) Brian Kinwald in the heats. I ended up on the podium of the D main that year, I think BK won the whole thing.

Another cool paint job!

Interesting lightening on that LXT and looks well done…you usually just see haphazard holes everywhere. How is the flex & twist on it?

It seemed fine, I think I did it in all the right spots even tho I wasn’t a structural engineer or anything :lol: It handled really well!
