losi XXX-CR to B4
 

hi all, im about to get a knew car and was wondering about a factory team B4... if i get one what spares will i need are they a strong car, does anything break on them. do they need any hopups of any sort to make them better and do losi wheels fit on them?

thanx jordan

ill give you 50 for ya losi

soz m8 its in bits and i broke the chassis on it so its basically everything bar the chassis, pivot mount, rear shocktower.

thanx jordan

it has a toneof spares aswell al brandknew just out of packet.

6 ea3 FORNT WISHBONES
4 EA3 rear wishbones
front hubs, spidle carries
ea3 knew revised rear hubs (come on xxx-cr)
spare sprnigs etc.

it would also come with spare wheels and tires as i dont think losi ones fit my b4 if i get one.

jordan

The rears will fit but the fronts will not

wot would you want as box of bits then 35 posted keep the back wheels bodyshell not needed mate

i cnt do it for that low soz m8 and plus i duno if im goin to change to a b4 yet im seein wot te pro and cons of them arwe then weighing it up agianst the xxx-cr

jordan

Have you got a CR or is it a KE like on your sig:confused:

well its between the 2 because it start life as a ke then i changed the steerring rack to CR and then front wishbones, brought rear wishbones to change them aswell but neva got round to it.

jordan

Thats fair. Anyway if you are going to get a B4 factory team the only mod you will need is a plastic fantastic chassis. I've been running 1 for 2 years and in that time the only thing i have busted is 1 pair of front wishbones and a few wing mounts. Spring wise you will need silver and blue fronts and silver and green rears. What type of surface will you be running on.

You will only need to buy a stealth b4 then get ti turnbuckles new ball cups, threaded shocks, thats then basically good enough.

yh but the factory team has the carbon fibre battery strap and things aswell plus microtech racing have it on offer now for 175quid.

ill be running on a grass suface with quite worndwn corners and reasonably-very bumpy

jordan

The thing with that is the price you end up paying.
B4 £140
Ti turnbuckles £20
Ball cups Losi HD £7
Front Shock £40
Rear shocks £40
£247

B4 Factory team £200
Plastic chassis £15
Losi HD ball cups £7
£222
plus you get the bling factor with the blue motor mount and servo posts and the carbon battery strap

yes exactly answer my question inthe GENERAL CAR TLK section because i think its a reli good idea i think everyone would like to read it if it was done.

jordan

Anyway if you want a good nick B4 factory team with brand new plastic chassis(carbon one included) White HD losi ball ends, Factory team battery thumb screws, Factory team blue shock bushings give me a shout.

well im definatly interested but i wnt be gettin the money till the end of this month. how much are you looking to get for it.


jordan

Thats alright i'm in no rush to sell it. I'm looking for £80. Where abouts are you:confused:

well i might be able to borrow the money atm, if ur looking for 80 quid then hold it dont sell it and i may be able to sort something out. could u pm me some pictures please.

i live in ipswich.

jordan

could i possibly pay you through paypal and u send me the car if i can get the money.

I live in colchester, I take it you race at coastal i was going to go there today but had the day off as the weather looked bad. I have been there a few times i had the blue and orange Yok Bx and the orange and white B4.

not sure mate, lol sounds good tho... well ill see if i can get the money and ill pm u if i can. does the car come with a bodyshell/wing and tyres?

maybe we could meet somewhere if i can get the money?

jordan

and yes i race coastal lol

jordan

Yer it has a body and a Yokomo curved wing on it. with instructions aswell.

lol good good this is guna sounds cheaky lol but box?

jordan

Haha.
Sorry there is no box

ok no probz. sounds good ill see if i can get the money and then if i can well arrange sumfink.

jordan

Ok no probs but could you let me know either way.
Thanks

Definately the B4 mate much better all round than the cr in my opinion, the only thing that seem to break on me are shock towers slightly more front than back other than that ive broke one wishbone otherwise they seem rather strong

if yoy want a b4 factory team i can get you a brand new one in the box for £165

Haha, i love all these people who've hardly broken anything :p Iv broken it loads, i admit its a very strong car and takes more punishment than id expect (stronger than the losi) but it still breaks, i broke both carbon wishbones on the right on Wednesday night in practice and replaced with plastic, broken front and rear shocktowers (2 of each), lost count of bulkheads and iv broke a few hub carriers.... plus i snapped the piece in the chassis that separates the servo from the cells, but that was my own fault for not putting the foam in and going flat out into something solid :rolleyes:

But ya, nice car, people say its ugly but i like them better than the XXX CR.

i am sure your new uk shop sponsor will be well pleased with you undermining the uk market:D

just selling old stock

I bent a drive shaft on my B4 on Sunday!

Can anyone beat that?

Ive bent 2 drive shafts.

A

i bent 3 drive shafts

Iv bent 2 drive shafts (still use them in the old car) but had a nice crash on wednesday night to the rear without damaging a CVD, but broke everything else :) still the best 2wd out :D

How Can you say its stronger than the losi, have you had a losi ?????

my mate chris snapped his driveshaft we still dont know how coz he was just going into a corner and it just snapped where driveshaft meets the axle, strange:wtf:

Yes iv had a XX CR and it just didnt feel strong, granted i didnt break anything but i only drove it once on the track and once in the road, best part about that car was the lunsford turnbuckles i took off it. Ok the whole thing was a bit of a bodge job but i just dont think the Losi's look strong, although i do like the shockers :cool:

Josh we are on about the xxx-cr not the xx-cr. I beleive the xx-cr is an older version i think. But i am unsure at the moment.:)

Ye it is and i know its a different car, just Garry ask if id ever owned a Losi, just saying i had :) and iv still got it in pieces :p
