Default B1G's Vintage 1993 Team Losi XX

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!

Given that it's nearly 20 years old yes it works rather nicely....

Installed a genuine replacement Losi part earlier today, old one was destroyed!! I'll let you guess which part it is:



Shouldn't take you too long

Was a PITA to replace, front end has to be completed disassembled....

Bulkhead! I recognize that goofy natural plastic :P Glad to see you got it replaced, hope it's bringing you all the fun it brought me.
