Losi XX-4 from a friend!

Post by geeforce59 »

My friend got this Losi XX-4 from ebay recently and not so happy to see the kit condition so he decided to sell it and i took it, im sure you have seen this car before and maybe have the idea who own this.

Wow - thats been well used!! - strange how the old Revolution motor & Jrx bodyshell has found their way onto this car :|

I think this car is one that you'll have to go round & clean-up/replenish the parts that are already there - only replace those parts that 'really' need changing. To make this into a perfect shelf queen - you'd end up replacing the whole car with new parts - I would re-build it back to useable condition, stick a nice cheapy brushless system in it & have some fun!! - with a bit of a clean, new shell & tyres this could look like a nice 'runner' :wink:

The list goes on! im preparing this car for our Vintage meet in March so i will start purchasing parts and a proper body for this double X four.

Or i might part this out or trade it with similar model even i add some cash to it, just want to run this with a nice BL System like you said.

Best thing you can do is order new belts for it ASAP (a new pulley set wouldn't hurt either)! -Jeff

Hmmmmn! i was even thinkin of converting it to X-5???

I'll just collect all the list of parts i need and calculate and compare.

The shipping cost really killing me. More expensive than the kit itself.

they dont make the x5 or x5sq kits any more...the chassis mold broke.

i ran mine for about a season and then couldnt stand babying it around the track and not going for the big triple or whatever big jump the other 4wd mod cars were taking. i couldnt risk breaking a chassis.

Yaiks! Is that so??? thanks for the heads up! Sure X-5 was cool before, i didnt know that its no longer available :shock:

However, i should stick on the original losi parts to run this car! :D
