What exactly does it do/change? Is it worth the investment for a runner?

Perfect - thank you for checking. I'm still not sure if I like the XXL, haha, but at least I know it fits.

Thank you.

This may be a silly question, but was the XXL CR body actually longer than 8008 or Xcellerator, or was XXL just it's name? Depending on the answer to the first question - would the XXL body fit on a short chassis XX?
Thanks

What yellow wheels are those?

Looks great daz!

BTW, what brand/model wheels are those?

Anyone know if the MIP CVDs, part #1200, fit the regular XX?

Thanks all.

This may be vintage sacrilege, but does anyone know if the current big bore shocks for the 22 series can bolt onto the XX?

Thanks jwscab. Those will prove super helpful.

It appears the 5 spoke rear CR wheels are difficult to come by...?

(I apologize if this question has been asked ad nauseam)

I'm now the proud (1st time) owner of a XX. Are there any specific parts that are known to break or be problematic? Any suggestions for parts I need to stock up on or look for?

I Appreciate all the help/advice.

Veeza,

What wheels are those on your race xx cr? So tough looking.

Thanks Matt. Those pics are really helpful.

I know this question is like asking which child is your favorite, and there is no right or wrong answer. I’m new to the vintage world, and I’m curious what the opinion is of those with years/decades of experience: What is your favorite vintage buggy? Why? Is/was it the build? The “drive?” Or just an...

Thanks for the responses, everyone.

Matt, thanks for the link. I hadn't seen those, but they look exactly like old-school NiCds - size-wise. I'm glad to know those are, yet another, option.

Good info.

Thanks gents. You both have shown it can be done, so that's encouraging - even if it may not be perfect.

Any idea about the pro/se/lxt chassis and modern lipos?

Thanks Daz. Yeah, I was told you can use a lipo but it won't fit down in the channel, so it sits higher - therefore, raising the cog. Not exactly ideal.
