i need info for vintage losi trucks, jrxt and xxt.

hi, new here, first post. i have heard there may be adapters to run newer wheels on the older trucks, my old losi's (jrxt and xxt) use bearings in the wheels and stationary front axles/wheel hubs, rather than like the newer stuff that have the bearings in the wheel hubs, would really like to use some of the newer types of wheels on them, does anybody know of anything like that? also, if anybody has any old jrxt parts they want to unload fairly cheap (on disability so pretty broke most of the time), let me know. never hurts to have extra parts. ebay can be so expensive most of the time. the jrxt was my first rc back in the early 90's, still have it. yeah, I'm that old.

Your age will fit in here just fine welcome to RCT. I have a similar problem to you and can't answer sadly.

When I did mine before I lost it in a fire, I used this adapter kit: https://www.ideatechproducts.com/shop/p/12mm-hex-wheel-adapter-kit-vintage-losi I had both an original JRXT and an XXXT, and used those on both trucks.

With so many trucks, she'd never notice!
Thats a fine looking collection you've got going there!
Ebay can be tricky to buy on for certain! Vintage stuff is $$$!!!

I used to buy vintage and discontinued SCT's, but, after awhile, they just got way, way too pricey. I still have an original V2 Arrma Fury, and I'm eyeing a V1 I saw on eBay, but those are the only vintage trucks I bother with any more. A couple years ago, I had a Racers Edge Pro2 and Team C TS2, (same truck, just different names), an HPI Blitz, several original 2WD Arrma's, and a Losi XXXT, and, my monthly expenses just to keep them running was about twice what most new trucks were costing.

i have had these since they were new, back in the 90's, jrxt was first, 5 link is great for rough terrain,flexes better than H arms, then the xxt, used it for fast ovals

got my new adapter kit, guess i gotta get to putting one of them back together.

put a lift kit on my little trailer, went out and cut some branches off a bush and made a load of firewood for it. laid wax paper in the trailer and glued the wood together as a lump so it dont fall out when you pull it over rough terrain.
