Tragedy...a little violin playing...a small brief moment of silence......and onto shipment 3.0...the mod came out nice and clean tho the gods will forgive. :mrgreen:
Nice parts roster!

Losi GXT Build

Post by lowrydesign »

Its been a few months since i had worked on this truck, and a few more shipment of parts had shown up, including a set of uber rare factory orange wheels!! and after assembling some of the parts and pieces, i have realized that a GTX pro graphite is what i really wanted, not a NXT.. its a good thing a lot of the stuff i bought are gtx parts not nxt parts.. :lol:

so here are some photos of the progress being made and awesome parts as they show up.

Man those assemblies look great with the classic combination of blue anodised parts alongside the silver/grey marble appearance of the Losi graphite mouldings, the orange springs along with the wheels will really set this build off when its all done!

Well done on building something different, this is going to be something special!

P.S; I love those MIP shock cartridges, would love to find a set of those for myself 8)

Wow! Awesome! I never knew those existed - I dyed a set for myself a while ago but the orange didnt quite come up as nice as these! I like the little aluminium screws too - nice touch!

If I found a set of those wheels i'd have to do another XXT build I think :lol:

Very nice, I dig the consistency in your color scheme! It actually reminds me of our local NHL hockey team's colors, the Edmonton Oilers. 8)
