Does anyone know of any modern axle conversion methods for the AD2? I've found some that use the XXX-SCT parts but those are hard to find now as well. I'm just beginning my research now but figured I'd post here to see if anyone has ideas or has had recent success converting to front and rear hexs....

Take a quick look at the Losi XXX-NT AD2 gas truck and Ignite Design's slick nitro conversion for the TLR 22t 4.0. Both fantastic machines.

Managed to grab this XXX-NT AD2 on eBay recently. It was complete except for the front chassis brace. The engine is an OS Max 12 TZ. Here are some pictures of what it looked like when it arrived.

Adding my XXT and its contemporary (22T 4.0).

Designed and printed a battery holder for my shorty LiPo.

Put some new wheels on the truck and some original stickers on the body.

Just an update on the XXT. It's been running great. It is incredibly fast with the brushless system. I installed a Hobbywing combo and the truck is terrific to drive. Recently I started hearing a clicking sound coming from the transmission. Based on previous posts I thought I melted my diff. I tore ...

Finished painting the shell. Chose to match the theme of my 22T. Just need some stickers to finish the job. I didn't care much for the mid-90's colors on the original XXT stickers so I'll likely order another set but with different colors.

Thanks Matt and Todd. I chased down the Traxxas part option as I had a Slash at home. Turns out it works with minor modifications. I like this approach because these parts are available everywhere. I was able to use the Traxxas Slash caster blocks (3632), steering blocks (3736) and axles (3637) for ...

Wow!!! You're not kidding. What a pain. Managed to get it done but it's not perfect. Some specs were just too stubborn and it looks like it fogged up. Probably my fault because I started using a Magic Eraser there towards the end. Probably looking a micro scratches in the surface. It's excellent to ...

Installed the electronics. The motor needed new brushes and I also filed and polished the commutator. I installed a Novak Dually ESC and a Novak XXL AM receiver. As I mentioned, the motor is a Trinity P-94 11T double. I'm certain that I bought this motor because I read in RC Car Action that one of t...

The build happened pretty quickly. Still waiting on one set of titanium turnbuckles so I had to use the originals in the rear. I had a very lightly used set of Losi mini-pins that I put on the rear. The rear wheels are pretty beat up. If anyone has thoughts on where I might find pin-driven wheels th...

Thanks for the information and the tips! Here it is fully torn down and cleaned up. Now ready for the reassembly.
