r/losi

If you are used to Tamiya, the paints lay down a little differently. I like them, but time will tell if they hold up like Tamiya paint.

I love these 2 cars. I run one about an hour every day. After a year they start to look beat up

I just finished rebuilding the one on the left

Took it down to the body plate and built it back up:

New diff oil

New bearings

Rebuilt the shocks

Replaced most of the screws

Cleaned everything

New tires and axle extenders

Less than 50 bucks in parts

Looks brand new 😎

Hit a PB of 57mph with the Losi mini jrx2 on 2s had to let off before it took flight

Pulled out my old Losi XXXT kit from the attic that I built around 2001 at 15 years old. It's been upgraded to a 3900kv brushless with a 2s LiPo battery, new servo, rebuilt the gearing with an aluminum differential(the brushless shredded the plastic differential), tightened the steering, put new pro line dirt tires and this thing has been a tank(very durable) on my home made track. Just figured I'd share a fun old kit that has been super fun to rebuild.

Sharing my complete build for the Mini JRX2! Built mine with a JDM heart with BHM decals and Tamiya wheels.

Now with Dumbo P6FG (receiver with gyro), HW Quicrun 2435 4,500kv G3 brushless motor, HW 16BL30 G2, Spektrum SX108 servo, GNB 1,100mah 2s LiHV battery

I was able to mount the electronics where it should be as I’m trying to do close to factory geometry.

Did a short test on my room and I can say it’s definitely too fast from the Tamiya 370 Sport Tuned I used to have.

Currently timing is set to factory, drag brake to 10%, neutral position factory

Will do a run later
