    CORRECTION: I state that the front wheels have a hex. What I _MEANT_ to say was that the front wheels _DON'T_ have a hex; they are running off bearings.
    That's all. Carry on.

      If you want to find a lot of parts there’s a hobby shop with an e-store in Manitoba called Eliminator-RC, they’ve got an absurd amount of spares without insane ebay mark up prices

    I feel your pain, with a purchase that has parts that are rarer than unicorn 💩
    I bought a Traxxas 1/16 Ken Block Fiesta at the beginning of all the Covid nonsense, but all of the important unique parts (wheels and body) aren't available, anywhere!!
    I'd never seen these little trucks. I hope you manager to get those parts, as I can't want to see it running. 😎👍🏻

      Yeah, it's a risk we take, I suppose. Hopefully it'll pay off, for the both of us!
      Cheers, Rob.

      @The RC Scotsman I only paid £30 for it, so I might do something different with it. I've seen a New Gold, Renault 5 Turbo, or a VW bus shell from the US, but they're £60, but leaning to the RTR, as a tribute to a rallycross driver I used to watch, back in the day. Roger Newbold.
      Good luck with yours. Cheers. 👍🏻

    No expert here but I have a 2.0 B and T and those shocks look a bigger bore to me. Guess that shouldn't affect your project but I would say they have come off a larger vehicle. Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

      Thanks for that. I'll have a good look at them, when the time comes.

    Sounds like a potential headache trying to find out of production Losi parts, but should be a fun project. I'm tempted to get the new JRX2 as I do like to smaller scale stuff.

      Well I'm making progress, so here's hoping. Yeah, I love the look of the Mini JRX2, as well. Tempted!

      Still have it. For sale on Gumtree, UK.

    Can get a razor blade and cut off the old tyres and then reuse the wheels. There are loads of tyres available for the Mini t 1.0/2.0

      Do you know if the 1/0 and 2.0 use the same tyre diameter?
