Need Help To ID some trucks
Take a look at these trucks please and see if you can help me ID them.
One is a Kyosho, the other is a Losi. I need to know what model they are.
The Kyosho has an old Ultima style gearbox.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

What's ironic is the Losi truck's filename is the model of truck
Is that Kyosho a Sandmaster?

Yep, the Losi is an LX-T.
Appears to have the XX retro gear box. The first Losi 3 gear gear box.
Early LX-T came with the original 6 gear black case JR series gear box, then the grey case XX retro was offered as an upgrade, then later versions came with it. Note there were some JR cases in grey, but I think they are kinda rare, I’ve only seen them as replacement parts.
The white front bulkhead is a later replacement part too. Maybe the bellcranks too.
Era is spring of 1992, to around '95 or so.

Dan, the guys at RC10Talk.com can ID it I bet. Very good vintage site, amazing knowledge over there.
They do have stringent sign up rules. Let me know if you would like me to post, I have an account. Haven't trolled over there lately, but last I checked it's still active.
