Just started my XX4 build. I acquired this over the summer. I've been collecting XX4 stuff for over a year now. This is one of the Losi cars I never got to see or drive as a kid. Learning lots about the XX4 platform overall.
Parts I've been collecting for this build.

Cool build... gonna look very nice with all the blue accents! Looking forward to seeing it come together

Starting with Bag A, I had to clean the rubber from the belts that melted onto everything else in the bag. Yummy Aluminum Slipper Shaft and Aluminum Layshaft upgrades. Assembling the Slipper and Lay shafts.

Shafts assembled Bag A Complete. No shims were needed for the layshaft, that's a first for XX4 builds.

Bag B is Completed. Since I'm not using the Composite Diff Outdrives, I needed diff tubes to complete the Titanium Barracuda versions. I also went with Hammad Ghuman Alloy diff nuts. I found my first error from Team Losi... They didn't give me the correct length and number of screws in this bag. Good thing I have extras.

Were the green belts designed to have a "shelf life", or did Losi not consider that the XX4 would eventually become a popular vintage model? Thank goodness for the Tough Racing Belts. I'm surprised that the 22-4s didn't use the green belts, too. I love Losi, but that seems like something they would do.

I've purchased 6 sets of Tough Racing belts. Rally, XX4, and Street. Runners and Shelf queens.

When I saw the 22-4, I instantly thought "They revivied the XX4!" Exact same three belt configuration. Have you run one?

I've held a 22-4 in my hands, but I've not run one. Very similar look, but pretty different in reality.

Sorry about the delay in posts. The change in seasons, hunting, and holidays got in the way.
Steering installed, going to replace steel ball studs with Titanium. Love a good ball diff. Rolling smooth! These later Losi cars had the 90s "GRAPHITE" mixed with the later 2000s "Team Losi Graphite" parts. Kill'n me Losi!....HH
