Good work!! Nice to see a XX being given some love.... its strange as it must have been Losi's most successfull 2wd buggy & there must be 1000s of them languishing in garages & sheds but they just don't seem to crop up that often on ebay (or at least here in the UK) Yet there's obviously a bit of a following for them ,as when they do they tend to make decent amounts considering there somewhat 'undesirable' status.

@ Ben - yes I remember the kingpin mod - I think you had to cut the link positions top off the regular 'C' hub & for clearance, then the Losi 'kit' supplied you with the ball jointed kingpin & a pair of longer turnbuckles.... I didn't try it myself but a number of my fellow racers did, & said it aided stability?

Rick, this looks awesome. I definitely think this should be the car next year. The XX was/is such a great car to drive.

XX's seem to pop up for sale all the time here. They sell for practically nothing. No one seems to want them. I've had a XX since about 95 that I never drove. I tried to sell it and couldn't. I put electronics in it about 2 weeks ago and drove it for the first time. I'm not selling it now! I've heard people complain that they don't turn very well. Mine almost turns too well.
