A leap into the unknown aka LOSI XXX-CR

[stical]

I've been an Associated boy up to 2 weeks ago and decided to shift towards a new family .

But since I'm unaware of the Losi 2WD generation and how the parts fit from an older car to a newer one, hence my question.

Does the LOSA2943 XXX Gear cover fit the newer XXX-CR ?

What parts actually can be recovered from either an XXX or BK2 and can be used on a XXX-CR ?

Thanks in advance for the help guys & girls,
Erik ( Stical )

All the parts off the old xxx will fit the Cr but they will be diffrent in lots of ways. The old front wishbones are graphite and havent got VLA where the CR ones are EA3 and have got VLA. The front shock tower on the CR has 4 holes where the xxx only has 3 holes. The chassis is diffrent on the Cr to the xxx. Diffrent rear wishbones diffrent rear hubs. Diffrent diff and layshaft. Things such as the rear T plate, fornt bulk head, caster blocks, rear pivot blocks, motor guarde are exchangable off the xxx. But to be fair you dont break that much on the CR the only thing ive had go is Front wishbones, rear pivot block and i have managed to break 1 rear wishbone after a very heavy crash. Ive been running the CR for about 18 months.

XXX graphite chassis can be used in XXX-CR. I'd prefer using it so it's harder, same as front arms and bulkhead. In the rear you have to lose VLA and that's not worth.

Front Shock tower, ironic, is harder in XXX-CR and you have an optional carbon fiber one available.

One question, does anyone know where to find a rear aluminum pivot block or a compatible one?

but out of stock and since these aren't made anymore I guess Ebay would be the best option.

Oops just found another one but looks like bizarre webshop if you ask me.

Guess somewhere on this planet there's got to be a store with lots of oldskool Trinity parts
