-One of my xx4 racers. This one is my most raced. The chassis has been mod'd to be able to run my reversible rear-end mod. http://site.petitrc.com/setup/losi/setupdoublex4we/XX4WE_BeauStrotman_ReversibleXX4RearEndMod/

-3mm hardware in most places, setup for BB shocks, and a few custom bullet-proofing tweaks.
-Carved a motor hole into the original chassis, using the Worlds Chassis for the template
-Ceramic Bearings are used trough the whole powertrain
-Full XXX-CR difs front/rear
-Penguin braces.. would not race without them
-The body is an original non-HW that I painted for my xx4 to race the 2000 FL WinterChamps, and then sold the car when 10th died & 1/8th exploded. Its special bcz ~5yrs ago, I saw it on eBay in a xx4 lot, & was able to talk the seller into selling it to me separately.
I don't race with the rulux wheels anymore, but like to keep a few pairs around for Pics ;)

Something a little different: Grand Motorsports Jrx2 Oval conversion. Still raced on a local carpet oval so its not as clean as it could be. :oops:

Here is my completed Junior 2. It started with a spare LRM transmission, and a few miscellaneous parts from prior Losi builds. Completion took the help of many friends here on RC10Talk along with some lucky eBay purchases. I hope you like it.

It was hard to choose one of my builds, but it had to my XX-CR in the end. It started life as a Kinwald edition but in the end it was fully rebuilt with only the steering bell cranks and transmission case carried over from the original car.

Painted up with an original Jammin shell and V-wing, too many upgrades to list here, but the best pieces must be the mk1 milled motor plate (the 2nd picture was taken before I got my hands on one) and Jammin front brace. Both rare items.
