Jamin's Losi XX-CR - Old Skool Pics

[LosiXXkid]

Gearbox and steering bell cranks are probably the only original parts!

I just notice this....^ ..... ....I'm bad!

Ooooh - loving the new 'old style' machined motorplate!

Would love to find an un-used one myself.. but I would have to anodise it blue to match the one on my original car

I will keep an eye out Dan, funny as this one was available right here on this forum!

There was just one on ebay about two weeks ago that was brand new and only went for $26

Ahh-man! Thats typical!

I must admit, my attention at the moment seems to be focused on other non-Losi projects at the moment which I guess why these items keep passing me by (I used to do a 'Losi XX' search everytime I logged in on ebay) Got to keep my eyes open a little more

I've been looking and still missed it! That's worse! I paid a lot more too

I noticed a few of these on ebay recently, but this is very cheap - this may be the start of a XX build for me!!

Do it!!

I am really tempted, but are there any parts for the XX that are just impossible to get?? don't want to get 90% of the parts together to build one then find out I have no chance of getting something. I am really picky with my shelf builds, I would not be able to use second hand parts to finish a build off either which I know would be a good source of parts.

The front bulkhead used to be an issue but not anymore courtesy of Sabulatech...

The 2.19:1 transmission case is a bit problematic but they are out there..... albeit slightly expensive. The original XX body seems to have disappeared but there are repro's available.

I built two XX's from 99% NIP parts and it cost me a small fortune .......but it was/ is fun!

Here's the XX Graphite thread: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=33057

Also, when you've met the requirements and have been approved, you'll have access to the B/S/T section.

It always harder to do a build from new parts rather than from a previous runner, as LosiXXKid says, bulkheads and trans cases will be hardest to find. You might be lucky enough to find a runner that its good condition, but if your standards are high I doubt you'll find anything near-new condition.

There might be guys on here selling good condition XXs also, worth just looking around and hope that you are in the right place at the right time

defiantly cheaper to wait and buy a NIB car for a small fortune than to build from NIP parts if you want a new build. I had a shelfer xx-kinwald on here for sale forever for $150 and no takers. finally gave it to a friend on here. They are around. When I was doing my boxart car. I couldnt find battery straps and wing buttons. When I did, combined I think I paid over $60 for these 2 things. But now with the right connections nothing is unabtainable

OK, thanks for the info chaps, I'll do a bit of homework and see what's available - and I may just pick up a couple of those motor plates for keeps sake, I think they will be a good investment. Cheers.
