I picked up a while rear transmission and skid plate for one of those at the Portland swap meet a few months ago

Yeah, it appears to be a XXXT. I have the same truck. Nice trucks. I just converted the wheel to the 12mm hex. I'm afraid to drive it because of the parts availability. It's noticeably not as durable as the current units.

Guess I will be slowly fixing then.

Just stoked to have my first vintage rc.

Nice score!!! It looks not too bad shape actually! Good luck!!!
Don't overpower it unless you find a ton of spare parts for it tho!
Cool place to work at!!! Vintage RC dispensers and everything!!!

There are a number of obscure hobby shops with web sites that still have parts for them. I ran across a lot of XXXT parts when I rebuilt our XXX SCT.

Just start googling part numbers off the exploded views.

Just do some research and make sure the hobby shops are legit. Call, email, etc.

Just a guy that knew I was into rc and offered it to me on my way into work, he said he had it laying around from when he was into it.
I plan on keeping it brushed, just vintage and will be cool to showcase, and show it still runs.

Good deal, will be looking as I can. It is definitely a good vintage car to own.

What brushed motors everyone using?

 

[CertifiedMike]

I only have 1 current brushed motor. It come in my RTR Gorgon so Spektrum.
All the rest are 35+ years old.

I would look for a good vintage motor on fleabay for cheap maybe. The right motor would complete the resto.

 

[Willy0942]

Also does anyone know if there is a way, if I had parts, to have someone scan and 3d print the parts that you can’t find?
Or does that take some technical equipment?
I figure it is too difficult, since you don’t see it.

Ok after looking, is it possible to put, XXXT suspension arms on a Jr-T, looks like a Jr-T chassis and XXXT arms or something? Maybe just the guy bought wider arms. Stuff just looks different with it, graphite shock towers maybe that is why.
Definitely wider than the jr, but only chassis that looks the same.

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

nope, i have a XXXT and I'm not seeing any XXXT parts on it and i don't think any XXXT parts would fit it (other than the shocks). i may have been wrong saying Junior T. i saw the chassis stiffener and recognized that (a friend of mine has/had a Junior T). after looking at the new pic's, I'm positive it's an LXT.

i wonder if the front chassis stiffener is interchangeable between the 2. that one has the same X shaped brace. the LXT's iv seen in person have all had a brace that looked like an A.
anyway the riddle has been solved.

The body on that chassis brings me back a FEW years! AE GT body? I love it!!!

It looks fast just sitting there!
