The wing is on the way...

The wing is here and on,thanks to Mike @ Valkyrie.
Just need some pink paint for the wheel discs...I've never bought pink paint,before,hope I don't get any funny looks from the guy at the hobby store...

Looks good man!

the only ones who look at you weird for buying pink paint are narrow minded and have never had a friend or family member go through or pass away from breast cancer...real men run pink. sorry to thread jack but my heavy metal repro body will have this or a different scheme...the colors look nice together.

^ Love the box-art XX ^

I too love the box-art XX, looks seriously cool, great job.

Also love the SCT paint, that'll look awesome on a HM shell - those splats were all the 'fashion' BITD

i get all kinds of old school comments...like a few others im bringing old school back...maybe it will get more guys to dig in the attic,garage,closets for their old stuff. im just trying to lock down a good mount for the front so i can properly mount my hm body and then its paint time.

Does anyone have any part numbers to mount one of these bodies to a xx cr?

Losi only made body mounts for the XX4 specifically for this truck, and even then they were from the Street Weapon. You'll have to find/make some custom mounts if you want to mount one to a XX, must be possible though with some creative thinking

I would think any oval based mounts can be adapted pretty easily.

There's been a couple of original conversion kits come up on ebay lately, I've bagged one for myself, but the seller appears to more

Isaw that body and conversion kit,nice score.
Nearly bought it myself,but couldn't justify it.

I 'offered' the shell up to the car a few days back, but I need to move the rear wheels further back as they dont quite sit in the centre, so looks a bit odd. I am going to get some 2 degree pivot blocks so once lowered it should help move the rear axle back a little.

Once xmas is out of the way I am hoping to get it done.
