Well its time to get this train back on track :lol: well I was so happy with the new body on my XXcr, I have been going back n forth on this for a while, as to keep it a runner or install all of the NIP graphite chassis and parts I have been collecting for it. So since my great friend RedScampy working a deal on my Pro se I got my racer back. this car gets off the racer list for a little while since the pro se is already race ready and chassis thrashed.

well my Cable was out this week so no surfing the net leaves more time than I care to admit, I broke down this complete car, wondering if I was doing the right thing all along? well I learned something new and thats not all bad. everyone keeps talking about the two chassis of the XX the (std) the (XL) and now we have a new contender I didnt know about the (S). well I spent all day lying in bed watching movies with my wife, she crosstiching and me with this car all over our bed. bolted it all back together aligned turn buckles. it was a lot more work than I thought it would be. well here I am done very happy with myself and the car. went to put the body back on and discovered the (S) means SHORT. it is almost 1/4" shorter than the (STD) chassis and my nice painted body wont fit. this sucks. I dont mind getting a new body but what car came with the short chassis? what body does it take?

(STD) losa8008
(XL) losa 8040
Kinwald losa8042
(S)??????????

First time I've heard of it. I have a couple of CR's, is the chassis marked in any way?
