Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild

1.15" is definitely wrong for LOSA6082 - The ones on my truck measure as described on the header card 1.05" (full length):

Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild

That is odd - I'll have to check mine tonight, I don't remember them being that long. If you are using the king pin ball studs - what about the hinge pin length for the wishbone/hub carrier - is that too long also? In fact, you can just about see in this link/picture that the hinge pin lengths look ...

Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild

Jammin - I have come across another hinge pin problem. I bought 2 new sets of coated Losi LOSA6082 hinge pins (3/32 x 1.05") however the ones I got actually measure 1.15 in length. This makes them too long for the front axle/spindle connection, and front outer arm connection. Did I just happen...

Cheers Andy! No pre-processing needed - I got the plate done by Metal Treatments in Portsmouth - a chap there called Mark Mays did it. Job well done.

Looks extremely good :mrgreen: OH. MY. GOD. That looks amazing. I hope to find myself an MK1 someday. Thanks for all the great build threads, beautiful photos, and vintage RC information. Cheers guys! Its definitely an improvement over the original one. I must try and get some better pics to do it ...

Re: Jamin's Losi XXT-CR Graphite+ MK1 Motor Plate!

The motor plate arrived today and I am pleased to say its spot on. Its a better match that the previous one I had fitted, so that one is going to be sold now. The pics don't really show the true colour, but its very close to the Trinity parts. So glad I have an early milling plate of this colour now...

Re: Jamin's Losi XXT-CR Graphite+ MK1 Motor Plate!

Oh, so it's just another way of saying early version. I've seen that term MK1, 2, 3 with some older VW's lol. I know the centered motor plates were the later version... Gotta keep it OG :mrgreen: Yeah sorry, its probably just me that used the 'mk1' phrase - I guess I should of just put 'early milli...

Re: Jamin's Losi XXT-CR Graphite+ - MK1 Motor Plate!

Looks cool, I don't see any issue with anodizing it? My XXT has a gold anodized one just like yours. I believe it was sold by Racers Edge. What does MK1 mean? they made a running change to the milling pattern when they released the 'centred motor plate kit' will less milling: http://www.rc10talk.co...

Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild

I also may (very much a maybe) have found someone with a Jammin front brace. Beside Hog Drives, this would be the shining jewel of this build. I won't know for a few days, but I have all fingers and toes crossed for this one! Good find - I agree they are pretty special and do not come about very of...

Re: Jamin's Losi XXT-CR Graphite+ - MK1 Motor Plate!

This little beauty is currently on its way from the anodisers - yes I had the balls to anodise a brand new mk1 motor plate :lol: I asked them to colour match it to the Trinity stuff, initially they got it horribly wrong as it took the dye very quickly, but the guys stuck at it and came up with the b...

Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild

Damn that looks mighty fine already! Looking forward to seeing the progress here, should be easy with such a great truck to start with!

I do love the white wheels, I tried them on mine but it didn't work with my paint scheme, even though there is white on it.

Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild

What part number/version of the front spindles/carriers do I want for this to be a true CR? I am assuming A-1120, but not positive. Thanks!! I don't think they changed them over the XX-T series - A-1125 according to the exploded view diagram. For the pivot block (2 degrees of anti squat) is A-2113....
