I havent tryed this set up with the CAT arms yet so not sure on geometry but my last front end was getting some major bump steer and was a handfull through the rythm section,I think it had the wrong hub carriers.I found my XX4 to be super durable,I finished the whole meet without any problems yet I have owned BJ4s and B44s that broke even on a roll over so I couldnt finish a heat never mind a meeeting.Very happy with my XX4.

Right on.
I've only ever broken front shock towers in my XX4.
Tough cars.
I started with a XX4,went to a Yokomo MR4-BX,to a B44 and now I find myself running a XX4,again.
The lack of a front one way in the B44 is a bummer,I love the udjustable 'clicker' in the XX4s.
I don't think any other car has an udjustable one way like that.

How does it effect the suspension geometry?

They dont change the geometry as they are the exact same dimensions.

Right on.
You reckon they're stronger than Losi graphite?

Find yourself a front one-way differential for the TC3

Yeah,I've thought about that...Wasn't sure if it was a 100% drop in fit,but it must be,huh?
I had a nitro TC3 last year that I rebuilt,man that car was fast and fun.
I miss it

Gears out-drives and some other parts are a carryover from the TC3 I believe.

Wow done alot of work lately and have most my mods done.
-rear trinity pivot block
-machined up some aluminum wing mounts
-b2 front brace mod
-front/rear CF shock tower sandwich
- x-factory steering kit.


side note: I found some more clearance installing b2 front brace if I ground off some of the "ear" on bottom, where e-clip goes.

Nice one,man.
That'll be quite the weapon you've got there,now!

Anyone know how close to the Losi original the BlueGroove Class 8 Heavy Metal bodies are?
My 2nd XX4 has the mounts already there...I have a decal sheet stashed,too.

Just ordered one myself yesterday. Ill let you know how it it but I wont be able to compare to original. What do the mounts look like??

They're Street Weapon mounts,pretty easy to find.

perfect thanks. I have a second xx4 I was wondering what to do with.

Me too!
My second XX4 came with the truck mounts,so I knew what to do with it right away!

To be more specific you need a4218 and a4228.

Also, I know a guy who has the instructions for the a4227 Heavy Metal body mounting kit on his web site. Not that it is that hard to figure out. But I do like the note that says use your original xx4 body underneath to keep dirt out.
