My advice, rebuild to what the manual calls out. Note the part numbers in each step and verify in the back pages you are using the correct parts. A 13.5 motor should give you plenty of speed, but I would install the slipper clutch (dual disk is better) and dump the hydra-drive. Your slipper will nee...

Update: -Cleaned the wing up a bit and added decals. -Installed new front bulkhead in white. -Installed Ti-Nitride shock shafts in the rear to match the front. -Installed new front/rear wheels and nuts. I baked off the original wheels to save the near new Pro-Line Pro-86 Flat Stubbie tires. Paint wi...

The new body is much nicer. And I agree, the Tempest is just too large.

Looks good, and I hope you feel better.

Much winning here

For me, definitely. But if I decide to race one, that would be a good buy.

Looking good so far. Like jwscab stated, so far I've ran across several bumpers on ebay but as you can figure if they are alone they get kinda pricey. I've bid on a few lots but they weren't that high on my priority list either so I passed on them. I primarily need belts myself for a few runners an...

That's about all I can finish for the day.

Yeah, I know same here. I need to reassemble the second car, but without belts it's pointless!

Nice job I like it. Thanks! Here's the car essentially completed. I have new rear gold shock shafts on order and still have to finish the tie rods for the toe-in (they are so tight! ugh) Novak Atom on the way and from there it will be getting that and the batteries all soldered up. I'll probably ne...

Here's some progress on car #1 Pretty close to getting it done, but will have to work on it tonight. Looks nearly new! I wish I had a new front bumper! http://s26.postimg.cc/i002u9jjd/DSCN0229.jpg http://s26.postimg.cc/mzxj27p61/DSCN0230.jpg http://s26.postimg.cc/hyq50uhpl/DSCN0231.jpg http://s26.po...

Okay, second one arrived and is also very nice. I'll probably strip this one down, then rebuild one using both parts. The remaining parts will build the Heavy Metal XX-4. http://s26.postimg.cc/et0xww9pl/DSCN0214.jpg http://s26.postimg.cc/w7l6566uh/DSCN0215.jpg http://s26.postimg.cc/ydfgzoaax/DSCN021...

Awesome! I hope they don't take too long. The second car I have coming has those belts installed, which should be here today.

Thanks!

I just ordered a set today. I may just continue reassembling and cleaning. Did you order the tough belts?

Hehe Thank you

I've recently had the opportunity to purchase two very nice XX-4's. The first one arrived yesterday. Here's some photos of it. I will be updating the thread as I rebuild. http://s26.postimg.cc/utb5qwe21/DSCN0189.jpg http://s26.postimg.cc/xjkho3aqx/DSCN0190.jpg http://s26.postimg.cc/5yrnwtt7t/DSCN019...
