wing mounts - if you cant locate the triumph ones you could try to see if XXX buggy mounts are available .. they will place the mounting stud close to the same place on the wing but the tower mounting holes are spaced closer so you would have to drill 'one hole' each side to screw them on .. the con...

on the differing parts, losi had several 'parts runs' during the life of the xxt, about 4 if im not mistaken .. every run had slightly different looks and characteristics on some parts like shock bodies and pieces, spur gears, etc, but im pretty sure the aged white nylon look steering was an earlier...

im guessing brushed is what you want? on 8.4v? .. i'd look at a 'Yeahracing hackmoto 13T' on ebay if your dead set on a low turn motor, its liable to run hot and not last long offroad .. a 16-17T will be more durable with loads of torque in a 1/10th truck ...

Looking for suggestions for some aftermarket shocks for a rustler or bandit. There doesn't seem to be anything between the no-name Chinesium garbage and the grotesquely overpriced Traxxas parts. pends what you want .. some of the generic shocks are actually quite nice for ~40 a set on ebay 'but' .....

.. the truck is as done as its going to get for this thread, its been fun :) .. theres still lots of final touches and details to be addressed before putting it on a track for sure, but the basic truck is done except for a sensor wire which they screwed my order up and gave me a 90mm instead of a 20...

.. just heard some bad news today - proline discontinued the trans........ You can still find them on eBay!!! See below..... https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=45176&start=15#p512252 thanks for the tip, thats a nice looking truck over there to ... theres lots of options with a tr...

.. just heard some bad news today - proline discontinued the trans, literally before i could even get this completed .. the idea was to have a truck with ready parts availability .. it 'will' be finished though and run as-is ...

got the body painted today and did the soldering, waiting on a longer sensor wire, went with bullets on the motor for now until i know what i want to run in it that will make things more simple at the track but adds some weight, main wiring is some old vintage 'stage III super 13' i had, me likes it...

'phase 4' - got the control rods done in traditional traxxas white rpm ends of course ... and got the top plate finished, drilling a perfect hole is a skill i dont possess even with a drill press .. so it was slow going, but turned out well. - made a battery hold down out of 3 pieces of 3mm cf stack...

got the body trimmed and ready for paint, the suspension and steering has all been mocked up and figured out, but nothing is final or finished on that, the links shown are just for setup and way too heavy and bind up too quickly imo for a race application, rpm ends on ball studs and lunsford rods wi...

it was a hobbypark kit i got on amazon -
Hobbypark Aluminum Front & Rear Suspension A-Arms Set,Tie Bar for 1/10 Traxxas Slash 2WD RC Car Upgrade Parts Hop Ups, Replacement of 2555 3631 2532

-battery box is installed, shock towers are cut, front end is bolted on and a rear brace was made and screwed in. -brace, shock tower and chassis are all cut from the 3mm cf sheet. - things have literally been screwed and unscrewed 20 times to get fitment right and to get things on the drill press ....

Do the rear arms have any toe engineered into them? I know the TRX-1 rears have 3 degrees built in. It's in the assembly manual and tuning guide. I'm looking forward to the top plate addition. You gonna use the LSII/SRT battery box or go with some "custom" standoffs? Like some of those lo...

cut the chassis out, attached the rear end and proline trans, the front isnt drilled and screwed on yet ... the chassis had to be modified from the original in several ways which made it complicated ... -first, the front end will utilize the modern bulkhead which has a built-in kickup vs the old cha...

the concept - build a modern track capable truck based on the LS2 chassis thats actually competitive, tall order i know :lol: .. anyway not much of the bling in the photo will be utilized .. weight and function is the goal on this build there will likely be another 'bling' build later nother story, ...
