Thx for the explanation Jonathan, very interesting!
I still find the 3 belt solution on the XX4 great though. But for sure I agree that the belts should have been both wider and stronger. And then we are talking custom parts again... If only Losi focused on 1:10 OR racing again and not so much new toys... I've done a lot of 1:8 track racing, and it's really strange how the manufacturers there as well never seem to understand that the power and grip has increased a lot during the last decade... but still we have those way too narrow fronts belts that break all the time... Nowadays, especially for 1:10 OR, both runtime and power is in super excess. So a little resistance shouldn't hurt... A thought: Would it be possible to downscale the Losi Eight with it's "off center" center shafts? Plus bevelled spurs & pinions? ![]()

That's the one I want!
I heard "serious" rumours this weekend that Losi is working on an update (new cars) in their 1:10 OR range... anyone know anything more specific? Now X-Factory is doing the same... So it defo looks like the XX4 never will die! ![]()

No comments? Will the new X-Factory car still be narrow as well? Btw isn't the XX4 shorter than most cars also?

![]() Yes. Jonathan, did you not need to do any form of bracing to stop chassis flex and belt tension changing?

Unfortunatly, it would be to expensive to produce as a kit, and also with using a Cat Sx front end and a XX4 rear end you really need two cars for the conversion. Shame really as it went very well.
It now leaves under my table with the other proto-types ![]()
