Team Losi XX Forum

[rpritchard]

I see there's a XXT Forum, but no XX. Am I the only one out there that still owns one?

Maybe that's why no one wants to buy it...:rolleyes:

[Fred Sambo]

i am rebuilding one right now. do you have the instruction manual?.. i really need a copy of it as i am using the exploded views from the website.:(

[rpritchard]

Yeah, I do have the instruction manual. If you want, I can mail you a hard copy, just send your mailing address to robpritchiii@hotmail.com

[mustangman_16]

i got a losi XX, pretty nice to, it has every hop up imaginal right now, to bad if i break something i wont find a spare anywhere. But i am getting the parts i need to make it run this weekend, cant wait to see how well it runs.

[Fred Sambo]

i find the best place for parts is ebay, hopefully i'll make three cars into one!

:cool:

[guggi101]

Just go to horizon hobbies they have all those parts for even later cars. They didn't stop making parts yet they just changed their distubter. Also I have alot of parts for xx and xxt's let me know what you need I might be able to help

[mustangman_16]

i need a body and wing BAD. Just a real nice body clear painted dont matter need something for it.

[rpritchard]

you ccan get new unpainted bodies at:

www.stormerhobbies.com or
www.hotrodhobbies.com (can't buy online at Hot Rod, but if you call them, I think you can do a phone order)

I think they range between 13-16 bucks

[mustangman_16]

Thanks for your help. also i am looking for any misc. hop ups for it. I am going to have my g/f try to race it so i might need some spare hop ups thx.

[rpritchard]

I just bought a BUNCH of parts at Hod Rod. They have all kinds of hop ups there. It's like it's a current buggy...

[mustangman_16]

Can i see a online catalog? i cant seem to find one on there website.

[rpritchard]

They don't have an online catalog, but if you call them up, they will know what you need. The manager used to be a team racer for losi, and he was giving me a kinds of tips on how to set up my car, and the hop ups I should get. They are a really good resource.

[mustangman_16]

Thanx i will give him a call tonite.

[Fred Sambo]

wooo hooo!
i just got rpritchard's XXCR in the mail and it is wonderful! i can't wait to drive it!

it's raining :(

[TOMC2002]

I have a losi XX i got it a couple of weeks ago, its my first buggy and i think it great.
There about 4 losi xx's at the club i go to and usaully one of the wins and bets XXX and rc10 b3s.

[bakerman]

yeah,

i love fred's xxcr it rocks!

if you need any parts or advise just ask!

[rc10tc3drivr]

how do you mount the steering servo in the xx buggy i cant get it to fit do i need to cut the tabs off and servo tape it in please help


thanks in advance wes

[mtn bkr]

With the XX, you need to cut the 2 lower tabs or ears (whatever they're called) off of the servo.

[RallyRoach]

There's also 2 little plastic posts that bolt to the 2 remaining tabs on the servo. These are captured by the plate that goes on top of the servo. If you don't have them, no big loss, just tape or shoe-goo it down really good. My bro did the same on his XXcr and he hasn't had any trouble :)

[ILiketheXXCR]

Hey I was wondering what made the XXX so much better then the XX CR Kinwald?

[WheelNut]

Well the XXX is suposed to be way easier to work on, better handling, stronger, etc...

Here's a few pics of my Bro's XXcr buggy he gots used to about $150cdn very good deal I'd say. He's running a 13t retro series motor in it, and its fast! Its strang about this buiggy that the chassis wont fit the F1 esc, but it was made when electronics were bigger(I think??) which is a bit strange.

I work in a hobby shop part time. It allows me to support my habit...er...hobby and promote RC racing. Its a labor of love for me.

Any way we shock all the Losi XX and XXT parts. As long as people are buying what we have we automatically restock the parts. We are not the best known shop for RC cars in our area either.

We still get parts for the original RC10! They are black rather than white but they are available.

You have tried your local hobby shop right?:confused:

[BobT]

My first love.

[Clod_Killer]

I still race my XX Kinwald. I bought a XXX Kinwald, added a bunch more crap to it, and I am still faster with the old XX. I think the XXX looks weird too.

evader32 - The diff gear in the XXXT is different then the one in the XX or the XXT.

TOMC2002- you should be able to spin the spur gear with your thumb pushing down on the back of the car so that the tires won't spin. It should be hard to spin, but it needs to be able to slip before the diff can. When you spin it, make sure the spring and locknut aren't spinning also. If they are, then its your diff slipping not the slipper.

[BobT]

Clod_Killer's method works ok when you know how tight it should be. The following method of setting the diff and slipper may help get an idea of how tight is right.

1. Remove the cover revealing the spur and pinion gears.
2. Tighten the slipper all the way
3. Back off the slipper ¼ turn.
4. Hold the right rear wheel and spur gear so they cannot turn
I use the heel of my hand to hold the tire to a table top while holding the spur with my fingers.
5. Try to turn the left wheel with your left hand.
It should be almost impossible to turn the left wheel. If so stop. Your diff is good.
If you can turn the wheel and the slipper shaft is not turning your diff is too loose.
6. Tighten the diff 1/8th turn and re-test.
7. Repeat until the wheel will not turn without turning the slipper.

Once the diff is adjusted you will need to set the slipper. This can be fun!
1. Turn your radio and truck on
2. Hold the truck out in front of you, holding it by the rear wheels. The truck should hang nose down.
3. Have some one pull full throttle on the transmitter. Be careful it does not hit you in the nose.
If the truck comes up above level the slipper is too tight. Loosen it and re-test.

If the truck comes up between ½ to level you are good.

If the truck does not come at least ½ way up tighten the slipper a little and re-test.

That’s it!
;)

[tonylukes]

Im in search of a Losi XX manual, if you've got one and can help out with a copy or anything, please let me know. Exploded views on teamlosi.com can only go so far :)

dave

[CorB]

I have a copy of the manual scanned in, I will put it up here>> http://www.geocities.com/corb_12x/ (top of page).
I have a RC10T for sale on the same page.. :rolleyes:

[tonylukes]

Thanks!

[tonylukes]

does anyone know the size screw required for mounting the motor to the motor plate? Thanks!

[hpiracer2r]

I was just wondering if the xxx body will fit the xx buggy? I love the xxx body so many nice curves. I am also getting the xx for around 20 bucks. I am thinking about getting hpi super nitro mesh wheels. It will look more like a xx-4 but it will look sweet. I will be on onroad and doing big jumps basically how should i set my truck up?

[hpiracer2r]

also, will the aluminum evader parts fit the xx? what else from the evader will fit the xx?

[dc racer]

Here is my XX-CR. Mint condition

[shadmaster4]

Wuts up my homies, where can I find some front a-arms?

[WheelNut]

Hey I bought a XX from my bro for about $70cdn. I think its a CR or something, I dunno, its got some graphite stuff on it and its got Ti coated shock shaft along with black shock bodies.

What set-ups are you guys running? particularly in the rear, camber link area.

Mabye this can spark some life into this dead forum...

[SnakeEyes]

Hey, will the XXX wheels Front and/or Rear fit the XX?

[microrcdude]

[WHL]

Does anybody know where you mount the speedo on the xxcr? I thought it mounted opposite the reciever on the side of the chassis, but theres no channel in the chassis for the wire that connects to the reciever.

On the shocktower maybe?

Thanks for any info

I strap mine around the rear shocktower.

You can see how i do it on this pic:

http://www.hellbilly.net/rc/losixx.jpg

If anyone still reads this forum, any help on setups would be great :)

[WheelNut]

Basically the same way of tuning you use on new RC's you can use on the XX. You know tune with springs, camber, ride height and link posistion. There are some good sites out there giving good basic tuning info. Like the myst racing site, I'm not sure on the address, but you can do a search of myst racing and find it.

[damus]

gday,

i just bought my xx yesterday and it is in mint condition, but i dont know to much about them. the motor i got in it was a mr.j team asc is it a good motor? it seems to go pretty quick, better than my tamiya superstock type-r in my superhornet. would the type-r go any good in the xx?

chiers fellas

[damus]

wats the difference between an xx and an xx-cr or are they the same car??

[stevey]

I need a XX team losi buggy, i cant seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know where i could get one. email me back if antone knows, please and thank you!! my email is: stevey@relz.com

[xzaq102]

just picked up a losi XX a friend of mine cleaned out a shed for a lady who wanted to get rid of everything in it he gave me all of the rc stuff in there. there were a few cars in there mostly toys but there in the middle of the pile was a XX it has a broken bell crank but that's it i think i can get it working anyone know were i can get a bell crank it also does anyone know what wheels fit it

Chris

[lurch2600]

Finally a place for fellow xx buggy owners to discuss problems and brag about the not so problems. Ne one know a good place to buy parts fot them other than ebay and horizon i am looking for pretty much ne thing i can get my hands on and if ne one has ne thing that they want to get rid of fairly cheap give me a holler. thanx lurch2600

[Tomegun]

Does anyone know where to get the manual for a XX Kinwald edition? I need to clean/rebuild the transmission and I want to make sure I do it right. Doesn't the manual call for using some kind of grease in the transmission? Is there a reason for this since other RC cars and trucks do not require this? Since I probably have some old yucky grease on the inside, how can I clean it off? Also, is there a site where I can get a new body and new parts?

Thanks.

[microrcdude]

i think losi has it on their site.

[Tomegun]

No, they don't have it on their site and Hobby Zone doesn't have parts for the XX so I'm screwed when it comes to rebuilding the tranny and diff.

[spdng4thrills]

Hello Does anyone still have any of their earlyer buggies? I own a Jrx Pro. I'll try to get a pic up soon.

[ClodzillaIIIMan]

Here is a group pic of my Team Losi XX Buggy's and some have a few hop ups.

All 3 have Lunsford Turnbuckles
2 have Hydra Drive Tranny's and other one has Slipper Clutch setup
All 3 are bearinged and they have Graphite parts and a few other small hop ups too.

Checkem out guys-
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/maximumrcforum/DSC01920.jpg

Give me some feedback on what you all think of them ;)

[ClodzillaIIIMan]

Hey all i have a JRx2 Pro buggy too in great shape and its rtr. I have a nice size shoe box full of brand new unopened Losi JRx2 parts worth over 100 bucks too. I will get a pic or 2 of my JRx2 Pro A.S.A.P. Glad to hear that i aint the only one with some nice Vintage Losi Buggy's :)

[TraxxasJessica]

Mine is still going. Now how about some parts Losi. ;)

[TLlama]

I just got a xx-cr and it was missing a transmission and 2 from camber links, luckly, i had a parted out xx-t and since the 2 cars are almost identical, they bolted right on. Im using 3000 nimh packs, a novak fusion, and a T1 modified motor, and this little thing scoots, probbably upwards of 25 (and this is just a guess)

[TraxxasJessica]

I have spaire buggy parts I'll trade you for the truck parts.

[ClodzillaIIIMan]

i might have some XXT parts and XX parts so let me know what you guys are looking for parts wise

[ClodzillaIIIMan]

LMK what you think of this piece of Losi vintage heritage?

[Potash]

Im new to the forum but ive been driving my xxt for almost two years and still love it. Im just a vintage kinda guy i gues.(except when i get my zx-5). :D

[Potash]

CLodzillaIIIman I Love the one in the middle!!! ( what paint is that? And where can i get it?) Im in cali so ive got hobby people even tho i havent had the best service

[chilledoutuk]

I have had a xxcr for about 7-8 years now.

I bought a xxxt based on my experiances with this car but to be honest i dont like its design as much as the xx it doesnt have a metal rear cage thats of the same piece as the motor plate which on the xx really helped keep the motors cool.

at the moment i have some proline roadrages on the back and when bashing on dusty roads etc i have tons of grip.

Last summer i tried using a techniplus 4 and for some unknown reason with this the car went ballistic all over the place and eventually shot into a hedge and broke my wing now i cant find a wing at all or the wire mount which is a pain as getting a replacement wing mount will be hard.

[discgolfer72]

Dude the xx-4 has always been regarded as the best offroad 4wd buggy they have made and thats not much of a suprise that they are going to re release it.

But here my friend where talking about the losi xx 2wd buggy which i prefer to my xxxt in many ways.

thanks for the tip on the wing just got to work out where to find one of those in the uk might have to import one from the usa.

Anyways...
a friend of mine (racing on a budget as you'll see) recently got back into the hobby and is using my other friend's old XX-CR. We be racin at Pegasus hobbies in montclair and was wonderin if anyone knows what would be a good spur/pinion gear combo with a co27 motor (and misc. other setup info). I had my co27 in it and it didnt seem to go very fast...

...but that could be the 3000 stick packs, tamiya plugs, and "plug in" (rtr style) motor plugs on what looks to be 14-16awg wire....

but other than get deans, solder direct, etc, what else can my friend do to get it fast again? (including gearing of course).

I got a good idea for the tires since i race 2wd stock and 4wd mod there already. Any help would be much appreciated!

[Bikerbob]

I am still running a PRo Se.

What I would like to get is as good a selection of springs as possible. OH and shock collars if anyone has them.

Let me know.. I am modifying a chassis so that modern cells can fit, with the short wheelbase. We have indoor offroad here.. and short is better.

Hey ClodzillaIIIman.Remember this one?Ended up here in Canada.

[chilledoutuk]

I love the losi xx its built like a tank the amount of crashes i have had and still not broken anything.

Funily enough it can take 2 a123 cells side by side easily without any modification to get it to sit flush with the bottom of the chassis.

[Helgaiden]

some recent pics of a friend's XX-CR at the track...

he managed to take the 1st place in novice buggy that night too.

word filter ruined everything...fixing...

Yea i remember that one,wish i still had them all! They are a great buggy for racing. I have 10 r/c's as of right now and most Are brand new,but thinking on getting arid of a few of them. 2 are on rcuniverse and 1 is on ebay they are listed here too!

Glad to see that old buggy of mine! Now if i could see the other 2,the one in the middle and the one on the right of it!

[ClodzillaIIIMan]

LOL,My HPI E-Firestorm RTR might be going to Canada as well to a guy on rcu by the name of Marcus.

[Losi XX]

I pulled my old JrX2 (with some XX tranny upgrades) out of a box it has been in for a couple of years (~12!!) and got it up and running.

I need help getting it up and running better.
1. Any one suggest some good links to get back up to speed on the state of the sport?
2. Anyone able to suggest where to find parts for this vintage ride?
3. Anyone know if it is worth (or possible) to upgrade this to a brushless setup?
4. Any recommendations on current parts and where on the internet to buy them (charger, batteries, brushless kits, remotes, speed controls, etc.)

Thanks for the help! Maybe I'll get hooked again and feel like the kid at heart!

Thanks again,
Rod

yeah dude i got a copy if u want it

[Signal151]

Hey all. New to the forums here but I figured I'd share my old XX. I used to race it in the modified class at my local track down in Louisiana. I also raced it in two ROAR regional competitions. Since then it's been sitting in a box with all its trophies.

It has all the upgrades... Lunsford titanium turnbuckles, titanium nitride shock shafts, "Factory Works" carbon fiber battery holder, etc... including the Hydra-Drive slipper. I have an entire box worth of spare parts including a complete set of transmission gears, a complete backup hydra-drive plus a hydra-drive rebuild kit, three complete sets of shocks, various spur and pinion gear combos, etc... maybe I'll start racing it again!

http://209.205.181.97/webpics/WY%20Pics/rccar.jpg

Yeah, that's 12 year old track dirt on the tires still! :D

It's great to see so many of them still running around and competing. The XX was a great car, possibly Losi's best.

[Hotrod5116]

i like your car. I got one just like it but i have no boby and can't fine one.

[oldskoolman]

I was digging thru some old stuff to sell on ebay and found this and saw this forum. Thought maybe someone on here might be interested in this. Be nice to see someone that enjoys racing them have it.

It appears to be in very good condition, Not sure how I ended up with it but its' never seen any hard use.
