check out my site http://home.att.net/~casper04 and I have all the details on what you need to do to conver to the non slipper setup. I think you only need the non slipper main shaft and a non slipper spur. The rest of the stuff you use from the slipper setup.

ok, here's another question guys. does anyone know what is meant on the losi web site under setup sheets on todd hodge's standard xx4 WE when it says "7-7-0" piston for the rear shock piston?? i know that it's a drilled losi piston but which one?? also, which drill bit is used to drill it?? any info would be great, thanks in advance guys,

adam

7-7-0 is a 60 piston (white or natural) with two holes drilled out to 57 (black) size. The good new is that the pistions are named after the drill bit size that makes the three holes. Racers prep and trinity make good sets of finger drills for this but if you have a good small drill bit set you may be able to use those. A 57 would be very close to this if you do not want to drill.

hey casper,

do you know which rear end parts i need to convert my xx4 from the stock rear end to the CR style?? i know that you have a description on your page but i was looking at stormers website and they have some parts listed that seem like they are made to fit the xx4WE. are these the parts that convert the original rear end to the CR-style?? if so, do i need a new rear hinge pin brace or hinge pins? thanks for your help,

adam

Casper · #**109** 02-25-2002, 07:59 PM

The WE kit comes with the CR rear end. All you need is a CR rear block (the WE rear pivot blocks are the same as the CR rear pivot block. If you get a XXCR rear pivot block you will need to cut the webing out of them to make them look like the stock pieces. You will need CR rear arms and CR rear hubs. You will also need a new rear brace. Trinity and Losi both make them. You existing hinge pins should work fine.

What's the status of Losi's XX4 car? Are they coming out with a new kit cause the only kit I can find is the xx4 WE. Let me know! I want this car!

Seems Losi is pulling their mid-range kits. Horizon no longers lists the regular XXX, XXX-T or XX4, only the Kinwald, Francis and WE. Makes sense to me, why not pay a little extra to get the almost fully hopped up kit? They still have the Spec versions available though.

At the Inaugural Team Losi Off Road Championships on April 12-14 2002, Matt Francis, Jukka Steenari and Brian Kinwald used a Losi Prototype buggy in the 4WD Buggy. Any news on this buggy?

PCC · #**114** 05-07-2002, 11:07 PM

I don't know which version XX4 this is. Can anyone ID it?

PCC · #**115** 05-07-2002, 11:08 PM

The car has titanium turnbuckles and it says "Graphite" on the suspension arms and the chassis. Yes, that's a Rally Weapon front bumper on it.

Gutter Ball · #**116** 05-08-2002, 10:16 AM

It appears to be a Street Weapon converted to a XX4.

PCC · #**117** 05-09-2002, 11:57 PM

Are you sure?

Gutter Ball · #**118** 05-10-2002, 12:15 AM

Nope, only way to be sure is to measure the chasis. The XX4 chasis is approximately 11.5 inches long, the street/rally weapon chasis is about 1/2 inch shorter. That definately is not a World's Edition, so it could even be a regular XX4 with graphite parts. Why do you ask?

Casper · #**119** 05-14-2002, 05:47 PM

It has some hopup parts but it looks like a stock XX4 with the graphite chassie. (they came that way orginally) It has some hopups. If the rear hubs have 5 holes for camber it still has the original rear end on it. I cannot tell from the photo for sure but this is the way it looks.

XXX-4 updates. They ran them at the worlds. I have seen some run at So Cal raceway (Jukka, and Peanut) but they did not look all that good. They need some refining. The shock travel is not all that great on them for now but it still needs some work. It should be a great car if they choose to work on it some more. I think it needs a little more tweaking though.

Hey i have xx4 rollin chassis with servo how much should i sell it for?

Casper · #**121** 05-19-2002, 10:45 PM

Depending on the servo and if it is a full WE edition car it should sell for 100-200 dollars. As a ruff estimate most used RC stuff sells for alround 50% of its retail value.

Brndonp17 · #**122** 05-19-2002, 11:33 PM

it looks almost brand new i still have the box for it and i have enough parts to make another 1 and its 100% worlds edition
and the servo is just a standerd futaba servo

Casper · #**123** 05-19-2002, 11:52 PM

I would say 150-200 then. Sell it on Ebay. I got top dollar when i sold mine on there and have done real well selling other R/C stuff. It is not that hard either.

Zr2 · #**124** 05-25-2002, 07:27 PM

This is my new xx4 that I got in a trade. I traded it for my tc3. The xx4 is the worlds edition running a team orion 10 turn ball bearing.

hope you like.

Thanks for the replies. I have a picture of the XX4 in front of my electric touring cars and it's noticeably larger than they are. I'd post the pic but the forums limit the photo size to 61440 bytes any the photo is about 65k. No, I cannot resize the photo on this computer.

The reason I'm asking is that I want to sell it but don't exactly know what it is so it makes it hard to tell people what I have.
