Are there any interchangeable parts between the xx and the xxx?

the wheels and tires and wing mounts. not much it was a total redesign.

Thanks for the info Bearrickster. I was just wondering because I see a lot of stuff advertised as xx,xxx parts.

yea I see that also, but very few parts interchange what do you need? that would help.

I'll post a wanted thread in a bit.I don't need much just a few bits.But I do plan on running it so a few extra parts on hand would be nice.

From what I remember the XXCR - 1st gen XXX share rear wishbones, hubs, & centre anti-squat plate Also driveshafts, shock absorbers, gearbox internals inc' diff & slipper assembly. Wheels are interchangeable... but the XXX had the 'body-pin' wing mount. I'm not sure about the later XXX versions (BK1/BK2 & CR) as I have no experience of these.

Geometry-wise if you line an early XXX with a Double X CR they are pretty much identical - just the location of the front shocks on the later car seems to make it more prone to understeer (IMO )

The whole rear end fits on xx.

Kinwald was testing the new Triple X rear end on the XX chassis.

My mate and i did it too.

Can't remember what we did but was simple enough.

What about duratrax parts? The arms and some stuff look the same. I know the quality sux. Has anybody tried to make them work?

their isnt any shortage of losi xx parts around. their all over Ebay.

Has anyone replaced the bushings in the transmission with bearings?Is this possible?I'm not a big fan of bushings,I don't even know why they offer them as an option.Pay 10-20 bux more for the bearing model.HMMM? Bearings please.

yes boca has kits. I got one off ebay a while ago

Awesome. Thanks Bearrickster

if you know the bearing sizes (standard Losi sizes I am sure), use avidbearings.com $1 each, I get all my bearings from there.

Boca has a whole kit for about 17bux. I don't think that is too bad of a price.

Here i have some pics of one of my XXt with XXXt CR QC rear Hubs & XXXT body with some mounts mod, i have on this one a Mamba Sidewinder with a 5700K motor i'ts super fast.
