XX Dirt Oval Car-Future Project

Post by Johnboy72 »

Ok, so have a few questions as I'm researching so I guess I'll ask here and I'll update this to a build thread once I get started.

I raced a XX on dirt oval in 1996 for the first time. Had a bad day with my RC10 and ran into an old family friend. He's considered "Mr Losi" around these parts. He handed me his backup XX and ran it in Novice EDM. I cleaned house that night. Bought the car on the spot. Fast forward many years and ran into him again. Ran his backup XXXT and cleaned house again. Bought the truck that night. Fast forward to this winter...hunting season is almost over and kart is put up. So time to play. I'm building a RC10 Street Stock to occasionally run at track south of me. I'm becoming notorious for racing old RC10s versus their modern DO purpose cars. Well Mr. Losi has fallen on some tough times and sits idle most days. I look at my collection and wished I had a XX sitting there. So figured what the hell, I'll pick up a XX and let him work his magic. Then drag his butt out of the house and have him race it. Ok, enough of the backstory....

1: I have as I've not messed with these old girls in awhile. What rear arm mount should I look for? I know on the RC10s, they say to get 3* mounts. Should I stick with the stock stuff or try to find that BK rear mount.

2: Anyone have any body mounting ideas to mount the Mcallister SS bodies?

3: The class calls for CW street trac tires. Can I mount the CW rims to the Losi or should I just mount CW tires to Losi rims?

4: 64P transmission gears? Yes or no? Want this car butter smooth like my old one. Indoor dirt oval only and never will see the outdoors or any bashing.

Thanks for any help along the way. I'm currently bidding on a car and once I have one in my hands, I'll edit and update this into a build thread.
