XXX Kinwald still a great kit the alloy block was on optional mount for the hinge pins ,good stuff. Always pull a used car apart and check it out for wear and just to get accustomed to taking it apart. Dont by setup sheets!
They are everywhere on the internet.Maybe the jokes on me.Good luck good car

Default losi xxx

Been out of racing for a few years so need to start from the scratch again,the guy i bought it said he raced it in regional events and then passed it to his dad, so sounds good.
Please some one tell me the motor thats in it?will it need replacing?or is it quick enough for indoor/outdoor tracks...i'll be off to bury metro in a few weeks so beware of the rusty driver with a losi lol

strip down and rebuild before racing and fully check out diff and slipper assembly.

hope this helps

Parts seem pretty cheap. First thing I did with my XXCR I got recently was replace the shock o rings, diff balls, diff plates. Got some slipper pads, but have changed them yet.

It's fab now

I bought my set of allen keys from B & Q, they cost 8 quid for a whole set going down to 0.05 which is the smallest you might need.

strip down the diff assembly and grease the bearings and also the thrust bearings inside the outdrive, when rebuilding make sure you follow the instructions very closely and then setup diff and slipper according to team tips in back of manual. Hope this helps.

most of all have lots of fun.
