Default xx4 Worlds Edition

Hi All

New to the Losi section, but not oople

I am looking into getting one of these. I have seen one at the local club and it seems to go really well.

I currently have a ZX5, has anyone ever had both that can comment?

Also not too sure how i tell the Worlds from the normal xx4 apart. I have seen one for sale on ebay but the seller is not sure if it is a worlds or not

I have attached some pics, could anyone comment? Also what to you think it is worth? Looks a bit tired to me?

Cheers for the quick response mate. This is what he mailed me with

"Hi, i bought the car from a friend last year so im not 100% sure how old it it. Its in good condition so i think its only a couple of years old. The car is complete and in full working order. The belts are fairly new and there are a couple of spare belts that i will put in the box All you need to get it running radio gear, servo, cells and a motor. As i said the i did not buy the car new but given that it has threaded shocks, trick shock shafts and the graphite chassis i thinks its the worlds spec."

How much would it cost to restore though? What do you reckon it's worth?

A lot of that may not be needed, diff balls and shocks shafts might be fine. diff plates, shocks seals and ball cups are pennies.
