They're in the post on their way to me hopefully. Plus bidding on a part on eBay. If I come up short I'll drop you a pm. I am after an original graphite rear tower without the extra braces, rare as hens teeth though.

That would be awesome if you did. i've got the newer version and cut out the braces, it looks ok, but would prefer the real deal. I have a front one already :-)

I am gonna need to do two XX4's now, one HM and one buggy, so I guess I need another whole car in spares, but it can wait until I get funds.

I am also after an LOSA9912 graphite chassis, dont suppose you have one? Must be new.

I'm pretty sure I have a NIP one here for you.
Yeah,I'm in a bit of a conundrum,I was going to update my 1st XX4 to W.E. specs and use the uncut chassis on the 2nd one and build it to OG XX-4 specs,but now I just have to do a Heavy Metal build with it!
I'll be on the hunt for another XX4,soon.

No,I have a couple of super nice used uncut Graphite 1st Gen XX4 chassis,but no new ones,unfortunately.

Ok cool, no worries. I know of a couple of people that have used uncut ones, but I'd really like a new one, but maybe I am kidding myself!

LMK about the rear tower, that would be good if you had one, again, must be graphite and new!

A 'Graphite' logo could be sneakily applied 8)

Hehee, thanks, I'll stick with the graphite one I've modified for now. The plastic ones are quite a bit different in colour so would look a bit odd.

Hi Bob, I am looking for a rear graphite tower without the braces, which is how they were moulded initially, they didnt change the part number, they just made a running change to add the extra bracing.

I got a tower with the braces and carefully modified it, but ideally i'd like a proper version if possible, see pic below of my efforts. Luckily I have found a front tower (from Kenooze) that doesnt have the bracing, so I must be able to find one somewhere...

I know where some are, but not sure on the bracing. I'll check and let you know. 8)

^^ Good to see! I never was into Losi but recently aquired a JRX pro factory team and a XX, and look forward to toying with them.
