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.

Plugging along. I'm using MIP aluminum front CVDs. Unfortunately the anodizing was so dark, they basically looked like steel. So I polished them up for some added bling.

I also reluctantly cut open my sealed package of Lunsford XX4 king pins. This was a very hard item for me to find.

I'm a big fan of the Jconcepts finned turnbuckles. These are the slightly bulkier 3.5mm Ti units in black, fitted with Lunsford ends. Lunsford and Jconcepts both make such impressive products. The appearance and finish of Lunsford titanium hardware is better than anything else in the RC market that ...

Losi aluminum drives with the beautiful light colored anodizing. I am using Exotek 22-4 hubs. It took a lot of trial and error, but I got the parts to all work together. The drives spin very free with zero slop.

A little late to the party but here is mine, using 2-56 and 6-32 nylon nuts and a hackfab mini-t oval battery strap cut up and attached to a printed mount.

I assembled the shocks from this pile of new parts and used shocks. I'm using XXX threaded bodies with gold shafts. Internal limiters and springs. I may be changing the springs.

the 2-56 fit but strip easily as the internal diameter is a touch big. I ran the car and they stayed in place for most of the run till it flipped. They look nice on the shelf though.

Looking good man! What did you do about bearings with those rear hubs? isn't the 22-4 metric? ps: if you end up looking to sell any of that older stuff xx4 let me know, looking to use my xx-4 again and could use some stuff. would be nice to put some threaded shock on it. Thanks. I had to slightly t...

Time for the fun stuff. I am using a Skektrum S6245 servo. It comes with a ridiculously short 2" lead. I was wondering how best to route the wire to the other side of the tunnel when I realized I could go straight through it. I notched 2 small openings the size of the wire. The fit is tight eno...

Starting working on assembling the mini LXT. Going to need to rework the front and rear hubs as there isn't enough meat on them to be durable at the ball stud holes. But its coming out pretty good. I have an idea for the rear axles, hopfully the lhs has some of the parts i need. Also seems that the...

Some Trinity goodness. Because this chassis isnt cut to allow the motor to sit lower, I couldn't use the motor mount I preferred. I considered cutting the chassis, but am going to hold off for now. I was very happy to find a set of black tunnel plugs. These have gotten quite scarce. I'm starting wit...

I'm using an R1 Wurks super stock esc. In the interest of space and cleanliness, I changed out the stock capacitor for a smaller unit. I mounted it to the side of the esc body and covered it with a 1up Racing cf shelf. I'm utilizing Trinity XXX swaybar mounts to clamp this Trinity XX4 swaybar. I sti...

For those interested - The Mini Nationals sponsored by Losi at RC Madness will be on March 18-19, 2023. There will be a Mini JRX2 class.

I figured the only way to get a coffin chassis RC10 Graphite is to have a replica chassis made. Since I have an extra later model RC10 Graphite in nice condition, it seems like a good option for the making a coffin chassis style buggy. Disclaimer - No RC10 Graphite parts are being harmed or lost in ...

Electronics are in place. The end result looks pretty simple, but it took a lot of back and forth trying to get everything wired as clean as possible.

I'm currently waiting on a couple small pieces before I can finish the build.
