Losi XXcr fully restored RUNNER !!

[xfactor]

Hi all,

Just thought I would share this !!

Purchased from a fellow Oopler. CONRAD !!

I have stripped and fully restored a Losi XXcr as a runner. Its exactly 20yrs since I returned to racing after a 4yr break.This is what I purchased on my return to racing from a model shop in Wolverhampton called JSracing........

So I thought it was the right time to restore a runner.

Its full XXcr with a few blue bits... Fitted to the runner is,

LOSI Kinwald blue motor plate
LOSI Kinwald blue wing buttons
LOSI Kinwald double pad slipper
LOSI Kinwald disc wheels
LOSI Threaded shocks
LOSI Graphite wishbones
TRINITY blue shock adjusters
TRINITY shock bushings
FANTOM blue front brace
FANTOM blue gearbox brace
XX Servo brace
MAN PINK Velcro to hold lipo.

I am currently masking up the body and will be painting tomorrow. Once finished I will post pictures of the XXcr RUNNER !!

So the XXcr is finished. Just electrics to install and wheels and tyres.

Body finished and stickered up. I will mount tomorrow as needs to harden and will then tape inside. I will take a couple of body mounted shots....

The body was inspired by a drivers back in the day. I seen it on the internet and thought YES !! that looks awesome. So started it yesterday and finished it today.

Looking at these buggies today, there's just something about them. They just don't look the same today. Maybe its me, but I don't think it gets any better than this era of buggies......

I also filed the edges and polished the outside spring coils. I don't recommend this they took for hours.
