losi xxx cr mid motor

[adey]

i made this over a few days, i tried it on carpet and it was superb. Sorry about pic quality.

Good work!
I like the way you reinforced the gearbox with turnbuckles. I was thinking the same on my MadMonkey. For my is better solution than the Xfactory standard motorplate and transmission brace.

Cheers!

Nice work! Personally i love seeing modded cars, even better when they work well

it handles like a well sorted 4wd car. I have been running a x6 squared for a while now and it goes great but this losi mid was just so easy too be fast with. It cost 12 quid in materials and 45 quid for a low profile servo

Great work.... Looks very simular to the Atomic Carbon CR2 but at a fraction of the cost... if it handles anything like the CR2 then you're definately onto a winner.

Luving the bodyshell... Nice and bright but in a retro kind of design!

I too was noticing your turnbuckle braces... I was thinking of doing the same for my CR2 instead of using the small 'L' motor plate brace but didn't know what turnbuckles would be long enough. What turnbuckles have you used???

Good work, Jon!

could you do a write up of what you did please Id love to give it a try

Is it as simple as turning the shocks and gear box around and cutting the chassis so it fits?

[OneKiwi]

yes please Ill take one

[Rocking Donkey]

does anyone know how much longer the xxxt chassis is that the standard xxx chassis? I'd like to try to squeeze a standard size servo in there.

just to let you all know, i spoke to fibrelyte today and they got my design. They are happy with my drawings and will have a price for the item next week. I am expecting it too be less than ten quid though. And i can tell you that my conversion works using that small lipo and allows a regular size servo.

Good news Adey, especially on the price front! Cheers...
