Has any one herd of a Class 8 Conversion for the XX-4? Is it some kind of conversion that makes it a truck? Came across a XX-4 with this conversion and it looks pretty cool.

Yup, there's a body and mounts. Looks really cool. I sold a body to doug (eau rouge) last year (I think he's selling it).

A "Class 8 Conversion" --- what's that?

Is it something like the new Short Track Class, but using buggies.... or what?

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but are you close to Losi or not? We seem to know more on Losi products than you and I know I am as far away from them as they come.

My own era of being "close" was a LONG time ago. :wink:

The class 8 was XX4 are, so it's not in any of Losi's current literature, either print or on-line. Look here:

Sweet, do you have another unpainted body like that? Do you know if the other guy has painted the one you sold him? I am going to try and buy the XX-4 with the conversion kit that I saw, it would be cool to have another unpainted body. Has any one here had one? If any one has how does it drive? Must be cool to have a 4 wheel drive truck.

Oh, so it was sold under the name HEAVY METAL

Maybe I'll get one of those bodies and slap it on my BJ4 :D

Holly cow, I didn't think there was that much of a size difference from the slash, or I just didn't realize how big the slash is.

JK Racing, so does that mean you have an unpainted body for sale?

No, not for sale, but I could swear someone back molded a body to reproduce.

Yes He made a mold before I traded the body to JK. I have a body mount set if some one needs it.
