Jamin's Losi XX4 - Heavy Metal!

[alien3t]

I have a mix used xx4 that i have added we parts to. For bearings i went to fast eddys here in california, Was like $1 us a bearing. (bigger diff bearings also). all bearings felt smooth and good to me. Usually a decent ammount of parts on ebay, Full gear sets still, steering sets, spindles and so on. I still have the original style, shocks towers and arms. But used, and im guessing you are building for all new parts. Cause i have 2 rear shock bodies and shafts, Converted to the threaded shocks from the we kit.


Love the builds keep it up.

Funny thing is Cedric sent me over a nice new front tower without the extra braces, all that hard work....

Does any have any idea where to get a trinity motor clamp for a xx4?

They are rather rare and get snapped up quickly, i'm afraid searching ebay etc is your best bet. Sometimes the only way to get certain bits is to buy the car itself and then strip it for what you need!

Oh man,I nearly fainted when I saw all those Trinity bits you scored!
LUCKY BUGGAR!
I have quite a few XX4 bits I can donate for this build,shoot me an email and let me know what you need.

As is always, right place at the right time!

I have most parts for the car now, I think the only thing I really need is another pair of Trinity out drive savers, but I am gonna go with steelies on the back until I can find them.

This is going to to be 1 very cool shelfer - do you have any progress shots of the build ? What style of rim you thinking of using ?

Smokin build mate !!!

Thanks, just in the process of painting the body shell of my street weapon then I'll make a start on this build. I think I'll set out and do the build with the Heavy Metal conversion first, with yellow 5 spokes rims, then convert it later to a buggy, it's a fairly small change and I can't afford to build another xx4 just yet.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll get the build started.

Another great project you got going here, Jelous of parts you have i would love to have on my runner. (buggy/and heavy metal body)

This thread is actually rather lacking in content, I have a tonne of parts to build it now, a complete car in seperate parts, before I start it I'll get a photo together of it all laid out, should look cool!

I think this build is going on hold for a while now though, once I finish my Street Weapon I'll be packing all my stuff up ready for our baby that is due soon. I dont plan on getting any time to build my last 2 projects, but so long as I have all the parts it doesnt matter.

I really want to get the heavy metal shell painted up for this build, I have an original sticker sheet too. But hey ho, I have to prioritise.

show us all the parts ya got now ben.

Sorry but they are all packed away now, I will be taking some time out from vintage builds for the time being, my SW is done, I just need to take some photo's of it to finish the thread off

I've had a little activity with some parts for this build, the last item to arrive is the original mk1 body shell that I found on ebay and that Aaron was kind enough to send on to me, so a massive thanks to him. This version is the one without all those horrible scoops and so will go perfectly with the non-WE theme I want
