losi xx prototype factory chassis

Post by hugger19 »

just bought this from steven dunn will post more pics once i get it. here is the info on it from him: These chassis were made for the factory drivers to see which length would be better than the stock xx chassis. They were cut in half and shortened by Losi r n d full factory. This was before the short chassis for the buggy...prototype to the short one....they found the best size this way and made the mold for the short one. Losi only had a hand full of guys on the Factory Team it is Graphite

WOW nice chassis. Looking forward to see more pics from this. Do You already know is this as long/short as the production short chassis was?

from steve dunn: this proto is 10.5 and the short buggy is 10in chassis length not wheelbase.....so it can be a long buggy or shorter truck but I have a 10.5 stock chassis too but it is a short truck

Nice buggy. I still have a pair of those purple brush hood heatsinks floating around. pretty sure I stripped em off a Joel Johnson signature stock bitd. Again, nice piece of Losi R&D history you got there.

You must have a lot of shelves.

Hope you're doin' something fun.
