Hi,
So in a trade I just picked up this vintage (circa 1993) Team Losi XX 2WD off road buggy:

I had it apart earlier today for a good clean, so I snapped a few photos as I put it back together and installed the 2.4GHz system:

As you can see from the dirt that is still visible, the cleanup operation is work in progress :)
I'm going to do what I can to restore it to mint vintage condition, with the obvious exception of a few choice upgrades such as the 2.4GHz RX, the new Streak ESC and the Green Machine II motor with the 27T Robinson Racing pinion gear :) so to start with I will be replacing the front bulkhead as the screw holes have been stripped and if I can ever find one I'll be replacing the front bumper / skid plate.
Enjoy!
