Got these in a trade recently, still trying to decide which to restore & which to run.. maybe run both? Hoping we have vintage racing in the area, although I'm not sure the XXX4 falls into "vintage."

Where's a good source for XXX4 info? How's parts availability?

thanks,
Mike

Check the losipartshouse dot com they have most of the part you need for your XXX4 though its not considered as vintage yet but soon (",)

Post your dogfigther on the yokomo thread the guys will help you there...cheers!

So how does the XXX4 respond to a brushless conversion? Can the tranny handle it, etc.?

thanks,
Mike

[geeforce59]

yeah i think your xxx-4 can handle the brushless system without any question!

all the guys back when we had a track were running 10.5 brushless in the XXX4 with no problems

Plus losi ran the XXX-4 at the worlds! If you check out Oople, they still have the coverage up. Many were running with the new TLR 22 Shocks, and the new machined shock towers.

Up untill just a few years ago, I was running the XXX-4 with a 5.5 BL and LiPo. I am sure it will be just fine. -Jeff

Plus losi ran the XXX-4 at the 2011 worlds!

and they're still running them all over the country.
if that's not advertisement in itself i don't know what is. the thing is a tank.

Thanks all for the great info. Now to find out if there's any local tracks left in Sac.

I put a brushless combo out of the TLR22 (13.5T motor and little esc). Handles that fine, however if you use full brakes the motor stops so strong that you can hear the belt skipping teeth.

I also ran a sidewinder 5700 in it on 3S, it was absolutely rediculously fast but I was afraid something was going to give in the drivetrain. Held up for the pack I ran through it though...

Every XXX4 I have ever seen run sounds like that on the brakes

I don't have any experience with the XXX4 and not MUCH with the XX4, but could the "skipping" sound you describe actually be the spur gear setup. It clicks when going in the wrong direction.

TOTAL guess here, please don't flame if I'm way off LOL.
