Team Losi XX Rebuild
Team Losi XX Rebuild
11/12/2015, the car is complete:
I'll update this as I build, but I've been waiting to build an XX for a while now. I have done both types of XXT's and it's time to do the XX. Finding a good candidate is key, and this is the one.
A solid purchase from an online forum.
And today's progress. Cleaned the gears and re-lubed the diff. Installed several new parts I had on hand and purchased. I think it is going to look great.
Teflon coated shocks (from a XXX-4 I have, not black anodized)
Rear bulkhead
Milled motor plate
Rear arms
Red springs
Transmission case
Hardware

Re: Team Losi XX Rebuild
Yeah, that looks great! Did you use fresh screws? If not, they cleaned up nice too.

Thank you. For a used car it is coming together quite nicely.LosiXXkid wrote:Lookin' good! I never seem to get bored of seeing Double-X rebuilds.....
Thanks! Yeah, I bought all the screws for my XX/XXT cars from boltdepot.com. They are same screws that come with the kits. Most are $0.02 each.RichieRich wrote:Yeah, that looks great! Did you use fresh screws? If not, they cleaned up nice too.

Re: Team Losi XX Rebuild
Probably stock - original would be preferred... I don't have a body or decals yet for it and the decals will cost just as much as the carLosiXXkid wrote:What plans for the body and wing?
I'd love to do an aftermarket XX body, but who knows if I'll ever find one.

Re: Team Losi XX Rebuild
Here's another update. New bulkhead, new arms, new knuckles. At this point, the only thing that's still original on the car will be the chassis & pivot plate, axles, hingepins, bumper, and shock towers Shocks are even new from left over parts I've had in other lot purchases.

Re: Team Losi XX Rebuild
Here's the paint theme for my buggy. Going to match my XXT. There may not be any black in it though.
