I made a few changes and improvements to my baby. I swapped the blue aluminum Trinity battery brace for a Jammin carbon fiber brace. I also changed out the front bumper for a RPM unit. I forgot to take pictures of the 2 parts in their packaging before I opened them. I like to include those photos fo...

Losi XX Kinwald build

I started collecting XXT kits and parts for my Shelf Queen, and found myself with 5 complete XXTs after a year of doing so. I decided to build a Super XXT with all modern electrics, and the best of 90s parts.

Waiting for my Lunsford Titanium Shock Shafts to show up so I can finish. I went with Threaded shock bodies, they look nicer and they weigh less :) Everything is shimmed to be zero slop. I used Team Losi Ball Cups that came with the Titanium Ball studs. They are lighter than the original stock versi...

Well, I am trying to build this up so it's not just another XX buggy. I was looking at the beautiful Losi lightened motor plate, and thought it would be so cool if the milled lines went all the way through. It was scary taking a dremel to a NIB MK1 lightened plate. I removed the little tab for the c...

^ Thanks! I was planning to install the stock slipper components (below), but then I began looking at the modern 22 series pads and plates. They have much greater surface area, and they feature the machined cuts for more grip. They fit well with just a few small modifications. The newer slipper shou...

The Kit arrived. IMG_6613.jpg I measured and compared the setups. IMG_6617.jpg IMG_6620.jpg I tried to use everything from the TLR kit I could. Due to the length of the slipper shafts being different and diameter of the shaft threads, I had to keep using the original Nut and stopper. I also had to u...

So I want to get my son into racing so I'm letting him take my 22. I decided to break out my parts bin, pick up what I'm missing from various sources and see if I could build a good runner. I'm happy with the progress. I grabbed an older body. It fits width wise, but is cut short near the back, but ...

looks great, what 3d printer did you print the arms and bulkhead with? Thanks! They are printed in a 3D Systems Projet 2500 Plus. It is unfortunately not mine, I have access to it via a friends workplace. 8) I decided to make this one into a runner. I got some modern electronics for it, but still u...

Finally got the last few things I needed to do the initial assembly of the suspension, so here it is! Still a few adjustments to the prints that need to be made but I am close to having a roller.

Getting closer.

^ Thanks. Finding the parts takes a lot of time, connections, and sometimes a lot of money. I use a light box for the photos. It makes it easy.

Here is a shot with little brother.

Here is the current condition of the chassis. I've trimmed the sides to match the width of the SE chassis. I've sanded and painted the chassis. It was a used chassis and I filled in the scrapes and imperfections. It is now glossy black. I want to paint some kind of design on it before I clear coat i...

I got some wheels and tires mounted. I wasn't sure what wheels to choose. I love black but I already have those on the other XX.

Status update. I was going to stop the resto at a rolling chassis, maybe temporary fit modern electronics just to take it for a spin in the yard. But oh no...I couldn´t stop myself. :roll: Had a good think of how my original Jrx2 was specced. Pretty sure it had a Novak t-4. So I got a nice one from ...
