So I found this on marketplace and pulled the trigger. It needs a lil but the electronics are solid. Biggest problem is I only know is it is a Losi nitro that was converted to electric. Any help would be awesome since I need to buy gears and bearings

Welcome to the site. @Greywolf74 is the Losi guy. I will say if you plan on running it get parts before you run it.

Sure resembles a tekno chassis. And I think losi was blur. 🤔🤔
 
traxxas e revo body. Monster wide tires. Castle/traxxas esc with a castle motor. Spektrum radio system. Old novak glitch buster cap. Tekno battery straps. Amazon servo. Chassis looks very similar to losi or something race grade
Thanks for the info! I disassembled the front and rear diffs and the front is smoked. The rear pinion bearing is gone as well so I'm on the hunt for parts. From the pics I've been able to find it looks like losi diff housings so I'm hoping I can find the parts to get it back running. Any ideas where to find them? Anything you would immediately change or put on the wish list?

Also would you have an idea of a place to look for control arms?

Welcome to RCT.

It's not a Losi, at least not in it's entirety. No Losi kits that I have, have plastic upper a arms. I think WF hit it on the head with the Jammin X2 truggy. That being said, it could be a conglomeration of parts cobbled together, hard to say.

Pretty sure it's all Hong Nor. The chassis and shock towers being Hong Nor means the diff housings are as well. And if you compare the arms, they look just like the Hong Nor X2 arms. Same with the chassis braces, bumper, etc.

Well now that I know what it is now the fun begins! I've torn it down and discovered the rear ring gear is smoked and the pinion bearing in the rear is also toast. I've looked on the forum for advice but ain't found much. I'm gonna guess that the stock gearing isn't going to hold up to the 4s or 6s power. Any ideas? And while I'm a mechanic irl I'm gearing dumb lol

Not familiar with those kits, but they were fairly popular because I have seen them on here a few times. You might do a little digging on their website. If nothing else, maybe email them and see if they can help ya. There are probably other dustributors for them out there as well.

Maybe @bill_delong or @cbaker65 can help ya out.
