I have 2 XX4's now! Woohoo!!! One has a 12T2 in it and that one is pretty fast. My other one has a 9T2 in it and that one is LIGHTNING fast!!! They handle REALLY well so if you get a little sloppy on the turns, it's very forgiving So far, I can't complain about anything except how long it takes to work on them The only thing I can suggest is to apply a little grease to the edges of the belt covers before you put them on to seal the system up! It's a great car, you'll really enjoy it. I let my friend take my slower one out for a spin and he loved it. I bought a Street Weapon too...it's on the way, should be similar to the XX4.

Got me a xx4 from ebay! yay Anyway could anyone help me on suggesting a setup for an indoor hardpacked clay track? Thanks.... I thought I'd go ahead and have a setup ready before it comes in the mail.

Go to www.teamlosi.com, and get Jukka's standard setup, or even his Worlds setup. That just freakin' works everywhere. Most people use that as a starting place. Very easy to drive.

Only Todd Hodges standard setup is there, along with some ROAR setups which were used for tracks far from being like my track.

I have a xx-4 worlds and when I give it full throttle, it pulls to the left, and when I hit the breaks, it spins out. Does anyone have any ideas? This is my first 4wd elec. car. Im used to 1/8 gas offroad. Thanks

I have no clue whats up with your xx4. Havent seen that kind of problem. Make sure your antenna is not touching the graphite.

I drilled a hole 1/2 inch up the mast and ran the ant. through it so that isnt the prob. It tracks straight at 1/2 throttle. Anything above it drifts. Could it be one of the diffs isnt adjusted right? Thanks for the help!

Weasel: One or more of your wheels might be too tight, causing those to turn slower than the more free spinning ones..if you're pulling left, I'll guess that it's your left wheel(s) that are tight. Same with the spin out...the tighter wheels are stopping first.

Ha, the xx4 I got has 2 blown bearings in the front right hub. The LHS doesnt carry those bearings. So I get to race it today with no bearings in the hub!!! I practiced all night and couldnt tell there were bearings missing.

You can always get the MIP front CVD Kit for is with the 3/16" axles. Then you can use the same bearings that are in the rear.

Cool, the bearings will last longer too. Did you get the Aluminum or Steel?
