That is an amazing build! I love the two cars together. Everything looks perfect. Could both be box art cars.

Great battle. Congratulations Scr8p. My quest to get a Losi to win BOTM continues.

Finally got electronics and a painted body for this car

My Janday Conure perched on a branch while out on a hike. I've had her 25 years.

This parts XX4 and lots of spares.

This is planned to be a high end XX4 with modern electronics, running a 13.5 brushless motor. This project has been in the pipeline since before I finished my early version XX4 shelfer, several years ago. I have been gathering parts for the past several years, but a clean solid graphite XX4 chassis ...

^ Juicedcoupe - Interesting. I didn't know that was a thing with ceramic bearings. The cost of ceramics is kinda crazy, but guys running modern stock classes swear by them as a big improvement. I was pretty shocked by how much resistance there was in both XX4's when I spun the drivetrain. Maybe they...

Steering - I wanted to improve and strengthen the stock steering. I am using the upgrade aluminum 22-4 steering arms. To make them work in the XX4, I had to turn down the post to fit the standard bearings of the XX4. I'm also using this Fox Pit Stop carbon fiber steering rack. This rack requires tri...

Ah! Thanks so much.

^ Retro RC - I believe these are Tough Racing or Bando belts. I am using this Rusti Designs front aluminum bulkhead. I am so happy I ordered it when I did, as they are now going out of business, and all parts are sold out. It is very similar to the Trinity unit. I realized that I had the carbon stee...

Great info. Thanks Mark!

I've seen some folks replace the metal drive pins with the same length of weedwacker line. It holds up well and doesn't deform the titanium outdrives. I'm going to give it a try.

Good idea on the fronts. After I see how it lays out, I may try it.

Just a little something...

I changed the Exotek steering horn to the "B"option. This makes a proper right angle to the arms, and should provide consistent throw to left and right.
