Love this truck.... kinda reminds me of my runner XXTG+ - except you've got a lot more nice hop-up parts & an altogether more modern (& suitable) brushless set-up - I too am a little wary of running it too hard! I'm on the lookout for that MIP ballraced set-up - looks so much better that the...

^ DerbyDan - Yes I did. Thanks again for the suggestion. Lol! I was too busy drooling over your photos to notice what you'd written in the text :lol: P.S; you may have to ignore my suggestion for the Trinity black spur gear..... I think these were only available for the single-plate/Hydradrive slip...

Also the shot of the rear shock tower highlights just how neatly your trimming work is Adam!!

I note you've added the gold washers too

Love the black wheels! The wheels are going to look killer with some flouro. painted wheel disks added! What a build..... i'm gobsmacked! The combination of the Trinity blue alongside the silvery textured pattern of the graphite parts is just so unique to Losi - but oh-so cool! The only thing i'd b...

I'm a big fan of aluminum cvd bones. They are one of the best upgrades in my opinion, and I think they look great. To go along with the MIP aluminum cvd bones are these amazing Barracuda titanium outdrives. They are serious works of art. The machining finish is so impressive. Taking pictures of all...

I am virtually certain i raced at Burton a few times back then Dan.... i believe our club (The Three Tuns) used to have the occasional inter-club meeting with Tamworth and also Burton. For some reason I can remember the guy who ran the R/C shop in the middle of Wolverhampton being there...? Probabl...

I had one of the Barracuda lap counting systems - only up until recently when I sold it onto a fellow IconicRC member. The one I had was somewhat more 'used' looking than yours, the club I used to run - Burton Model Car Club inherited it from Rockingham Buggy Club which folded when the shale track t...

Can I add my Schumacher TopCat - re-release? Simple straight 'box-spec' build - built & reviewed for UK-based R/C Racer Magazine, paint based on a Gene Hustings on-road body. https://i.postimg.cc/C1JFrBJQ/DSC02410-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3RLTFMxM/Body-off-electrics-install-lots-of-room.jpg

Double winner?

This is definitely the best 'modified' re-re TopCat I've seen so far.... its amazing that this buggy has only been available to the public for about 3 months, but already cars like yours are 'sporting' such well resolved upgrades. The chassis brace & inlay tray is especially neat. I must admit t...

Wow! So hard to choose this month - such a great array of different buggies/truck.... must admit I do have a soft spot for cars that are built to run & that Ofna looks like a lot of fun!!

Stunning looking XX KW! Somehow I missed this the first time around - I love your attention to detail, this really is a first rate build. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on fitting the composite outdrives since i'm unsure if these were available at the time the XX was released? (they do look go...

Looks like you've done a nice job there.... I've still got to find a suitable donor car (also the spare cash to buy one lol!) onto which to build my NRC Y-24 to go alongside my full-size (1-10th) WCS - pictured below alongside Nigel's original Y-24 :wink: https://i.postimg.cc/mrxQk6yc/38023504-62405...

I always wanted a YRF-2..... its one of the few (if not the only) chassis I still desire/want in my collection.... but it would be my intention to run/race it at my local indoor club. I've had the opportunity to buy one on a number of occasions, but for whatever reason either the time, or the car it...

One from a few years ago..... my (almost) kit standard Schumacher TopCat with Phil Davies paint scheme.
