Nice to see the XXX being given some love - they don't seem to have the loyal following that its older brother the XX has & I must admit when I was somewhat dissapointed when I first got my 1st gen XXX it seemed to handle no better than the XX I had before - if anything, it was even more 'safe' to drive but less positive on the steering. That said still a great car & served Losi as its 2wd platform for nearly as long as the B4 has for Associated - I only retired my XXX based mid-motor car last year

Nice looking care mate! is the rear motor gaurd plastic? looks cool.

Try an application called Fotosizer works nicely.

Must be great to move to all those places...all the women if ur single to enjoy. Good luck in Taiwan.

license , yes its plastic . , real losi . i have 1 more new one as well . but i would love to find a yellow rear bumper set . my other half was born in taiwan . australias to expensive now so we are going to give it a go. just need to sell the house . il try fotoiszer , thks , p.s search , {kenting resort taiwan} you should go for a holiday ,

derby dan , funny i know your right when we first raced the xxx me and a friend we used the middle hole in the front camber link on the bulk head . then one day we tryed the outer hole with two washers and yes she had steering , i had alot of fun times with the xxx .

hopefully get these parts here to start work on #1 race car,

Nice lookin buggy. Haven't seen those bumper sets installed before. Seen them in the package at one of my old LHS and they were there a long time. They pry got packed up with the rest of it when they shut the doors and moved but I'm liking the looks alot better on the buggy.

Photobucket.com is also a good place to store pics on the web and then all you got to do is click on the 'img. code' and put it in your post. Automatically resizes for forums for you. Looks like you got it figured out though but welcome to the board anyway

thks

todd , not that good with computers myself , i whis i had the parts to start got lots of time this week,

got thes nice old bits . just need a few more bits . to get going on #2 .

hopefully next month get going on the build

i had some parts turn up last friday for my #2 shelf queen

and done some work on the buggy today .

had to do some . mod work . as the older trinity motor plate has only 2 holes in it for the older gear cover . so drilled and tapped the third hole to take the xxxcr gear cover . i did a ok job .

allso the rear inner camber links break the ball stud so i use a ball link end with a longer screw . not planing on racing this buggy but you never know so i got it ready as if i wanted to race it . allso put some weight in the front bulk head . 20grams .


shes about 95% new .

one day i will get the bodys painted up . and add the xxxcr stickers , cant wait .

i should get this finished this week . the bodys i leave until later .

enjoy the pics .

mike .
