@@rocpile Thanks! I'm glad other RC fans are enjoying this video...there aren't many of the old vintage Losi RCs. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely gorgeous! Nice work Erick.

@@rcicons4915 Thanks Keith! It came out great. Look at those rear tires, perfect for your track and the tracks back in the day. The vintage Losi RCs were made really well. Other than the body and the plastic parts on the shocks (collars/top shock mounts/rear lower shock mounts) this thing is really durable and was a pleasure to rebuild.

Absolutely stunning 😮 Well done 👏👍🤝

@@coygtrc Hey! Glad you like it! It's a labor of love, I don't think many people would spend months finding, purchasing vintage parts... restoring original parts. Patience definitely paid off on this one. I might get it out for a run in the dirt this weekend, the weather in NY should be 👍

looks awesome. i love those rear tyres 👍 interesting about the maintenance.

@@rc-dom-uk Super happy with the results, you can really see that they were going for an all out race truck with these. Those rear tires are so chunky, perfect for the tracks back then. They were all loose dirt, like the spot in your videos! 👍

Great video man this was a fun watch 👍👍

@@wadeskelton7585 Thank you for watching! I really hope Losi decides to re-release some of the old ones, there is a huge market for vintage re-release kits right now.

I loved this. I remember batteries not fitting. I remember the losi double sided tape held that servo like nothing else. You had to pry it off with a screwdriver. I think the biggest maintenance item was gears and ball diff

@eekrc Ай бұрын

@@danjaz2000 OMG yes! They drilled holes for the servo mount on this one, but they also used the Losi provided servo tape. That stuff was like glue! It took me forever to get it all off. I can tell the ball diff could be an issue. I have a spare I picked up. Seems like it is happy when it's tight, I heard they melt when running too loose. They definitely had flaws, but for the late 80s early 90s these were so good.

It looks fantastic!! It is a shame we cannot get a real re-release of this, I would love to have one but do not have the patience to track down all the parts and I don't want to pay the crazy prices for Losi kits. I am glad you got one and it is a really great addition to the collection.

@@AddamsPlayground No kidding Addam...finding hardware, shock collars, bearings in the correct size, shock seals, thrust bearing balls...took so much time, I am super happy with it now, but it took months to track things down. But I had to rescue it! The first 2 Losi cars are part of RC history. I can't wait to run it now. Just waiting for some nice weather now. It's either too humid, raining or I'm working. Gggrrrrr. Thanks for watching! I'm so close to 1k subscribers!

Love the truck dude! Looks great!! I ended up 3D printing a shorty adapter that slots into the rear bulkhead. I couldn't find a battery that fit either.

@eekrc Ай бұрын

@@nrtv20 Thanks! The only ones that fit are soft case lipo batteries...the shorty option is great too because you can use the existing holes. Also saves weight. Thanks for watching!

Losi should have done a rere in 1/10 or at least 1/8 not that stupid little toy rere.

@eekrc Ай бұрын

@@JJ78n You are so right, what a waste. They are missing out on the resurgence of vintage RCs. BUT...I was talking to the owner of my local hobby shop who is always in contact with Horizon Hobbies (who owns Losi) and they said they are "considering bringing back some of the classics "...fingers crossed 🤞

@@eekrc my childhood dream was a JrxT and a Jrx2. I had to get the little rere’s which is cool and all but just didn’t fill the void of the 1/10.

@eekrc Ай бұрын

@@JJ78n Not even close, they feel like toys compared to the 1/10th. Just not the same. I have a JRX2 I'm working on too. I was very lucky to find the 2 original Losi cars.
