Losi lxt build

[milkyd]

i hope this build comes out good. its my first so wish me luck

this is my chassis

and this is my chassis after i was done with it


i used heavy duty water resistant carbon fiber vinyl. i got it off the bay. if u wanna know the guys account name then just ask.

i will be building the rest of it throughout the next few days. its going to be a runner so nothing too fancy but it will still be nice

Tell me what you think.

Very nice I've never seen this method used on a molded chassis, I look forward to seeing the top when you've completed it

Chassis look great with the carbon fiber vinyl..

[milkyd]

i ordered the rest of the little pieces that i needed last night so once i get those in i will post pics. its going to be such a pain with the vinyl on top so i don't know how much i will put up there....i am waiting on my new screws/nuts, and shock oil then i will be able to finish

[milkyd]

i have made some more progress.....
carbon fibered the front shock tower

carbon fibered the front bumper

carbon fibered the X brace

then i ran into these pesky allen screws

does anyone know what size allen i need to get these out because i cant seem to get them out.

anyway after i get past those screws i will finish cleaning everything then the start the assembely.
i have the original body for it that was already painted but i am thinking of getting a new one. how are those blue groove bodies???

[milkyd]

got the front end on and its looking good...

im running proline speed hawgs and hpi rims

[milkyd]

okay so i buckled down and did a whole lot of work on the lxt so here it is...



my carbon fiber x brace

carbon fiber front shock tower

carbon fiber rear shock tower

the sexy chassis

front bumper

crappy esc i am going to get a new system

Old naturals sticker that was on the top of the chassis


sooo i am not completely done. i am still waiting on my gold screws nuts and shock oil then i will be done.

i guess its not the prettiest but it is still very good for my first build IMO.

tell me what you think!

[bearrickster]

I like it, you did a great job fixing up a nice runner. and I like the fact you just didnt rebuild the whole car with nip parts. Good Job!

[milkyd]

thanks i appreciate the feedback

[Synergy]

Good work, I like the truck but the wheels not so much.

[milkyd]

yeah the wheels came on it when i bought it on ebay. i dont like them but idk what i should replace them with.

[Synergy]

Something disky and yellowey, I'm pretty sure XXT wheels will fit and there are quite a few after market ones available, but hey that's just me I like the standard look.

[bearrickster]

I run the HPI wheels on my Lxt I love them they hold up great.
