seems to a few people selling Losi's that they claim to be the bees knees, so thought i'd post some close up pics of a real racing Losi XX

It may look a bit scruffy, but its a racer

RPM front wishbones



Graphite chassis



Rear Alloy mount



Front Alloy bulkhead and brace

Nice, don't see to many of the trinity stuff out these days. Im glad those 5 spoke wheels died off, was never a fan of the way they looked.

I raced my XX again for a summer season back in 2012 with brushless motor etc - what a fantastic car! I got to race it again at this year at the Iconic vintage meeting, this time with a period correct brushed motor but it was still a joy to drive.

Personally I like the 5 spoke wheels - far more interesting than the boring generic dished wheels we use these days... looks like this XX has the 'holy-grail' of XX upgrades... the Trinity front bulkhead! Just make sure you don't break your chassis instead

Broke 2 chassis in one night dad wasn't happy and that was the last time i raced I like the spokes dishes are boring, but have about 50 sets of wheels so can always change them
