Losi 1/18 MINI LMT Twitch Chassis Kit
PRE ORDER now open! Please read entire page carefully before ordering and sending questions. I am hoping to have kits available before the Zero RC Monster Truck Nationals in late April! Designed for advanced hobbyists and racers that are comfortable building kits to high standards. Shipping ETA Late April.
The Team PRP Twitch is a Mini LMT game changer! True high performance racing chassis conversion kit for the Losi 1/18 Mini LMT! With it's slightly stretched 178mm wheelbase, fully revised lower center of gravity chassis layout, centralized weight distribution and completely rebuildable trailing arm suspension the Twitch chassis kit completely transforms your LMT Mini into an exceptional pro-mod racing machine! The chassis plate features slotted motor mounting holes to allow fine tuning gear mesh and the potential for larger pinions.
NOTE: Some Losi part modifications for this build are required. Read below in "REQUIRES".
Prototype shown. Production model varies slightly.
• Choose the Base kit, Race Kit or the Full Bling Kit (My plan is for only 10 Full Bling kits at this time but may produce more if there is demand).
BASE KIT INCLUDES:
• Full carbon fiber chassis.
• Carbon fiber battery straps, electronics trays and top braces.
• Black anodized aluminum upper 4-links.
• Black anodized aluminum upper cross braces.
• Carbon fiber and anodized aluminum trailing arm suspension lower links with completely rebuildable design and utilizes the stock Mini LMT rod ends!
• full set of black oxide screws and nuts.
• Base kit does NOT include skid plate.
🏁 RACE KIT INCLUDES:
Everything from the base kit plus the steel skid plate set.
• Full carbon fiber chassis.
• Carbon fiber battery straps, electronics trays and top braces.
• Black anodized aluminum upper 4-links.
• Black anodized aluminum upper cross braces.
• Carbon fiber and anodized aluminum trailing arm suspension lower links with completely rebuildable design and utilizes the stock Mini LMT rod ends!
• Full set of black oxide screws and nuts.
• 🏁 Steel skid plate with LCG belly weight.
🔥 FULL BLING KIT INCLUDES:
Everything from the Base and Race kits plus the Mini Titan CF steering linkage and a full complement of red full bling aluminum!
• Full carbon fiber chassis.
• Carbon fiber battery straps, electronics trays and top braces.
• Carbon fiber and anodized aluminum trailing arm suspension lower links with completely rebuildable design and utilizes the stock Mini LMT rod ends.
• Full set of black oxide screws and nuts.

REQUIRES:
• Stock Losi Mini LMT donor truck with most parts, all cross braces, rod ends and pivot balls, axles and steering components, Mini LMT shocks (Mini B/T lengths also work).
• JConcepts Mini LMT body posts. Or you may also use the stock Mini LMT body post piece (Losi number LOS211050) but you will need 2 pieces. The stock Losi Mini LMT only comes with 1. I am also looking into additional body posts that may fit (see below).
• Stock Mini LMT battery. Mounting dimensions coming soon. Other batteries may fit but have not been tested.
• Highly Recommended: Treal center drive shafts for greater wheelbase and suspension adjustability.
• Mini LMT shocks, rear *Mini-B/T or front *Mini-B/T shocks may be used. *Mini-B/T has a small 3mm pivot ball in the shock end. That is too small and should be swapped out for the Mini LMT 4mm wide pivot ball or use the Mini LMT shock end.
• Modifcation: To allow the gear box to tilt down requires a tiny bit of material to be removed from the differential skid plate housing. It is a small and simple cut to make. Modification shown in instruction manual.
• Modification: Using the stock 14t pinion with some motors may require a small and simple modification by beveling/filing the top edge of the differential housing to allow the motor to sit slightly lower. 15t and larger pinions should not require this modification. Modification shown in instruction manual.
BODY POST OPTIONS:
• JConcepts Mini LMT body posts. Comes with JConcepts Mini LMT bodies and hopefully sold separately soon after.
• Stock Mini LMT body post piece (Losi number LOS211050). You will need 2 pieces and the stock Losi Mini LMT only comes with 1. It also needs 2.5mm thick spacers to fill the gap between the outside of the chassis plate and the body post.
• Losi Mini drag body posts LOS211033 have been tested and fit the Twitch chassis kit.
• Traxxas 1/16 Mini E-Revo body posts are very very short, beware! But they do line up to the chassis and you can find them in red anodized aluminum.
• The following body posts have NOT been tested yet but may be able to mount to the Twitch chassis: 1. HobbyPlus CR18 body post set 240015 2. Furitek FX18 body post set Fur-2360. AGAIN these have NOT been tested but it looks like the holes could line up to the body post holes on the Twitch chassis.
Instruction manual can be found on our support page (manual coming soon).
