My best friend for this job is time... time to think about mod, time to turn ESC in all position and imagine where cables should be :woot::woot::woot: :lol:

Chill! It's just an opinion.

I used to break them when I ran a standard XX4 - I've always had one fitted and it helped me.

me too :thumbsup:

Agreed! - Why chance it going Ash? When for the sake of nockin' one up out of a spare peice of Carbon Fibre or buying one to make it totally safe!

Looks bomb proof already but with that extra part it will be totally 'Kitted out!'

Ive snapped a losi titanium ball stud in a xx4 shock tower. The chances are the ball stud will snap, the hub will brake or ball cup will strip and the turnbuckle come out before you brake the tower.

beautiful car oliver!

about the steering mod, how long is the 3M screw used?

I started from a Socket Head M3x40 but it's too long, a M3x35 would be perfect but doesn't exist :yawn:

The best Losi XX4 ever seen before.

Excellent job.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Hope it will give you good idea once you will have yours ;)

That is fantastic Oliver I am in awe of this car. One question I have got is what is the capacitor set that you are running with the Tekin RS Pro?

The capacitors board is a Roche one. Have a look on this link (Part No.:ROC-R4SC, at the bottom of the page)

Olivier

Very nice! xx4 has to be one of the best rc cars ever made,just how long has it been a race winning car! and that one looks so good:drool:

My XX4 is far from The Brains sweet thing! But I'm doing a new mod (with the super cool stuff 3M DP490) which I'm hoping will work out well...

Will post pics when it's all done... :rolleyes:

Cool mate !!!

Now you're addicted to DP490 :lol:

SHY, I would be please to see your work done on pics :drool:

The stuff is great! Binds well and easy to dremel afterwards!

But it does indeed run a little before dry... do you use heat to make it dry quicker?

What's that heatsink on the motor you've used? LRP?

Yes SHY, it takes a while to dry as deep as enough to dremelize. In fact, this delay becomes longer with old tubes of DP490... That's the deal with this kind of epoxy glue, we have to cope with it :cry:

The motor heatsink is the Trinity aftermarket option part for XX4. Very hard to find one, even on eBay :(

Part no?

I remember seeing the motor heatsinks on the DMS website not too long ago, although I think they were red. Might be worth getting in touch with them?

I think it's TK1100 :rolleyes:

Checked with DMS, no such luck... :(

thanks, ill be working on that mod this weekend.

May i ask how you got the front shock tower brace to be flush with the tower? how did you mount it at the bottom?

Hi Oliv996,

what Tekin brushless motor is installed on your wonderful XX4 please?

Is Tekin motor a 6.5T?

Thank you.

Oliver,

I sent a message to you, please send me a feedback.

thanks.

Nowhere near your fantastic specimen, I just tried to be creative as to making belt changes easier...

There's always room for improvement, does the Brain see any further improvement ideas?

The Brain never rests... :woot:

Lynx75 : Olivier uses a 6.5 on his "precious".

God I loved Super Sprint! Played it one hour each day when I was in the army :thumbsup:

;)
1 hour each day! Some respect is due here.
I used to play endless nights with friends on a Atari 1040 ST :D

Hi Oliv' ,

where did you find the modificated Outdrive, please? How it works?

Next time you'll re-build you amazing car takes some pictures....

Attached a pic of your car.

thanks,
Marco.

It is an outdrive saver, a little sleeve that fits over the plastic outdrive to strengthen it. Some people just use steel outdrives.

Cheers

They are homemade and based on Trinity/Brian Kinwald design. And as Pugboy said, they are useful with plastic outdrives to preserve them on had landings...

Is it possible to find them outhere, please?

I'll sent a private message to you. I'm waiting your feedback.

Thank you.

I bought mine from Chris Long (custom made). But I prefer the steel ones, works like a charm and no wear!

Where did you find the steel version, please? Always from custom made?
Please send me the website to find them.

thanks a lot

No, that's standard Losi parts, check out this site for many goodies:

Thank you so much SHY.

The modifying works worth 5 stars+++++!!!:thumbsup: I am so inspired to rebuild my Street weapon!

what losi tyres are they?

they dont look like any losi tyre I have seen before, very confused:confused:

Sprints I think.

Well done Dan !
- Front 4WD: A-7284
- Rear Buggy: A-7375

I think theses tires are quite hard to find now:yawn:

So even the posts for the battery straps are homemade? I run lipo saddle nad would love it to look that comfortable.
