I need an XT. I had an RC10 CE and an early RC10T, sold them, no regrets. Now that I have a shelf queen JrX2 and JrXPro I want an XT to round out my early Losi collection.
I have have o-rings, multiple gold nitride shock shafts for truck and buggy, I have complete shock cartridges double x and double x t arms, slipper pads I have universals, and MIP cvd's all in Factory Packaging and I have a lot of double X4 Parts too still in the factory packaging
Everyone thinks the rc10 is the the og but it's not. It was the JRX Team Losi had a and in the development of the rc10 but for some reason everybody has a garage against teak losi. It's a sad misconception
looks like a cool build, i just finished a XXT build was like yours in that i had a little work sourcing parts on ebay but i prevailed, spent too much im sure but have a nice xxt runner.
Yes! That is actually the next vintage body I was going to paint. I need to post the final assembly video of my LXT and then finish the series with the paint video. Should be working on those in a few weeks. Thanks for your interest in the channel!
I just did the same box art paint job on my RC10GT electric conversion with Tamiya rattlecans. Looks so much easier with an airbrush. I really need to get one of those..
Wow all these years later and Losi LXT kits still have the same problems that I had with my conversion kit that I bought back in 94 as a kid. I converted my JRX 2 into an LXT and the kit was supposed to come with everything needed to convert any JRX 2 or Pro. I had to stop assembly a few different times and head back to the hobby store to buy the parts that were not there. The rear bulkhead was not in the kit at all and the JRX bulkhead would not line up with the chassis or even be usable if it could. The turnbuckle links for the camber and toe in/out linkages were not there and the ones from the JRX were not long enough to facilitate the longer swing arms.The axle's for the front and rear were not in the kit and I also had to get a longer telescopic drive shaft to mate up with the pieces that came out of the transmission because the older ones connected to the JRX axle's were not long enough.
Damn, y' know or should I say you don't know or wouldn't know obviously how you present yourself as a nice cool RC geek but you messed it up when you said the words flip and then got snobby about the condition of the box alone even before you opened it, most of us would be damn proud to have a piece of it in any condition, I soon got the impression that your just one of them snobby geeks.
amazing interactive practicalracing channel with a very nice man who has a mission: loved your 3 parts of the street weapon, even ifI am a total pacifist.
Just a question If you add a 12 turn modified motor to this truck is there metal gears that you can add to the transmission? or what did they gears did they run for the modified class. Tying to get my old JRTX back together but I want to run modified now.
A few memories - back in the 80's we matched our batteries... a lost art. Then companies started matching them when they learned how important it was. When the RC10 came along, offroad racing really picked up and matched NiCads were a big deal. We used the Reedy motors for modified racing and usually a handout motor for stock class. Then for pan cars we used wintergreen oil for traction compound. Eventually companies started canning it for resale, (I used Trinity because it was a little better than food grade wintergreen oil).... you always knew a guy who raced carpet because his stuff always smelled like wintergreen.... Do you remember when "radial" tires came out? (capped tires - TRC brand) .. They even had stagger... remember tire stagger in the pre radial days of NASCAR? ...they originally only had a band around the tread area, then they became a foam tire fully wrapped in a rubber compound... green dot, red dot, yellow dot to indicate the softness of the rubber... they seemed to cost a lot back then and wore out quick, but if you wanted to race on the concrete and asphalt ovals you had to have them.... that was when NASCAR was HUGE !!.. it's nothing nowadays compared to the Dale Earnhardt - Bill Elliot era !! I wish it would come back, but I think the management of NASCAR has ruined it ! I would love to race RC on those oval like we did back then, that was so much fun ... like Lake Whipoorwill in FL and Dalton Raceway in GA and the Thunderdrome in CA....Jasper Superspeedway in TN .. there were some great ones back then !!
Wow! Yeah you go WAY back in the hobby! The most on-road I did back then was a little carpet 1/12 racing. I had a Corally SP12. I can smell Paragon traction compound just by talking about it!! Great story man! Thanks for watching!
@@vintagerctour5302 I started as young teen in 1978 with my much older brother. I had a 1/8 on road nitro AE pan car then. We lived in AZ. My first offroader was a Tamiya Champ... it sucked actually. When I was sent to Sand Diego for extended Joint Force Exercises with the Navy, I was AF, we got held up with torrential rain and decided to go watch an RC offroad race near Miramar marine base that we were using for our base for the exercises. The RC10 was brand new and I just made 1st leuy so I decided to blow my raise on one...$300 + for everything I needed .. that was quite a chunk of change back then !! I spent all night building it so I could race it then the rain stopped and we had to fly !! DANG !! but over the next few years I had the chance to race it quite a bit and also an RC10L pan car ... I had the wide for road course and the narrow for oval. I have been all over the country because of my AF job. I always managed to find a way to bring it with me when we were on exercises if I would be somewhere that was hosting a race.
Looking forward to the end result. Looks awesome so far. Got an LXT when I was in grade 9. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for the videos on the LXT.
I still have a jrx2 from 1990. It has a few improved parts, like better shocks, wheels, nylon axles and a stronger diff gear. The original diff gear teeth wore down. The RC-10 gearbox is nowhere near as good no matter what you do with it. That's why I sold my RC10 and bought a jrx-2 way back then.
