Composite Craft LX-T

[JK Racing]

CC is killing me...if they re-do this chassis, it will be ANOTHER new chassis I will order from them. The CC/Worlds chassis is on the hit list right now, just got done talking to the wife about it. Now I need to talk to her about the SE/LXT chassis

[bearrickster]

Well I was building a Composite Crraft car about a year ago, when as you know I got talking to one of the guys at Composite craft. He asked if he could use my NIP chassis to redraw it up in their new system. I was starting to think I wasnt going to ever get it back and it showed up. well the deal was I would get one of the new ones for my trouble. so here it is, the new one is Carbon Fiber not just plane carbon. So here it is I think the new one is much cooler.

The only issue I see is they drilled the sterring post holes to big, but thats my fault I had mine drilled out for the RPM sterring I am useing on mine. it mounts with 8/32 not 440 screws.

thanks JK its good to be back. I am looking foward to building my LX-T on that carbon chassis

Well I made a little progress on the LX-t, I was moveing right along and hit a road block. I was digging out all of my nip parts for a new Retrofit trans and started putting it together when it hit me I have to grind a slot for the trans to fit. so I stuck a LRM case on their to see how it looked. so should I cut the relief in this beautiful chassis for the retro fit or just use a LRM?

By the way I used nip RPM steering blocks and front arms. Lunsford TT Turnbuckles, I cut a custom Blue Battery pad to go with my custom Blue motor plate I have blue shocks to go on it also. the RPM sticker will be comming off I just stuck it their to keep the finger prints off the new pad.

hey Rick,

I ran into the same problem when I mounted my MIP trans on the jrxt. It "should" fit, but the alignment wasn't right...and it threw off the motor mount. I wound up making a spacer that raised the bulkhead and rear pivot block. There was a hole to allow the trans to sit lower.

Since you have the top plate, you just need to add thin spacers on chassis posts.

Regards,
Roger

thats a good Idea, I think I may just cut the chassis though as I do plan on running this car if I can make it to the Vornats again. we will see

[bearrickster]

I am looking for a set of Losi thredded shocks and I think I will have them done like the motor plate. I am also looking for a body something Chevy anything but stock

[JK Racing]

Rick, if you are just shelfing this (cause I dont know how good the shocks are or arent), I think the Speed T or Speed NT or maybe the Strike came with threaded blue shocks. I may be wrong though.

[slapshot1979]

My losi strike has threaded blue shocks.

[bearrickster]

no I plan on racing it if I can make it to the Vonats again. I am going to work on a undertray for it. I had 2 nip but sold both on car I sold now I wish I dould have kept one.

Thanks for the info I will look those up.

[bearrickster]

any one know were I can find a nip Andy's xx Soda Ram truck body

[JK Racing]

I'll keep my eye open, but it was sheer luck on the one I got.

[bearrickster]

Well I havent worked on this one in a while, have made a little progress. but I need to get off my but and finish it, its never taken me this long to build a truck. I bought nip losi xXx threaded shocks Mip gold shafts new cart. built up the shocks. I really need to start the hunt for a body. and start building the new xx retro fit trans thats going in it. I want this one to be my runner at the next Vintage Nats I go to.
