Im getting a xxxt rtrII tomorrow what parts can I get to make it more durable. I plan to bash it. what motor do you recommend with the esc it comes with . money is not an issue. I also plan to run it on grass so thats also an issue.

Umm

45mph pede

Yeah this is sort of one of those threads that is way to open ended.

From what I hear the Losi graphite is actualy stronger than the plastic, so I would convert it on over to graphite. If money truely isnt an object then go ahead and ditch the stock esc and pick up a desent brushless system. If money is a bit of an issue then I would pick up a reedy quad mag.

what about aluminum parts

45mph pede

If you dont plan on racing... I guess, seems like a waste of a good xxx-t to "alcoa" it :-/

The xxx-t is a pretty strong truck, its not going to hit a tree at 40mph and keep going, but pretty darn close, unless your doing silly stuff with it, you should be fine.

Does the xxxt run decent on grass by the way and is the quad mag 19t better than a 15t. thanks for the feedback

45mph pede

Yeah, its better than the stock 15t becuase the stock 15t... stinks, usualy a 15t would be much faster, but not in this case. As for running in grass I have only driven a stock one in short short grass and it did "OK" not to great, but it got through it. Dont you guys have that southern grass, its different than the grass up here... Im sure it could go through the alabama type grass with ease.

U said money wasn't an object!,


what r u doing looking at 15ts? and 19ts? good getta feiago 6s and run 8 cells

ApocalypseNow

Its not but I think I should get used to the car first so I dont break it in half

EXACTLY!!!!! You are on the right track!! but i would stick with stock motor and stuff for like a month or whatever and go brushless from there. no need to buy an extra motor.

StOcKerRaCer

brushless would be a good idea!!

i hit my friends foot with my ss5800 xxx-s cuz he jumped the wrong way and it only broke a carrier, it woulda lived if i had my body on, (his foot hit the wheel) to that too the whole shock, if it woulda hit the body it wouldve just spun out.. losi stuff is pretty durable...even the touring cars..

45mph pede

Touring cars in general are pretty darn durable. I've rolled my pro4 numerous times, i've run it into curbs going 40mph and realy havent broken much of any value, just a steering post here and there. I just chuck there strongness up to being designed well, and solid all around, nothing wobbels or even thinks about wobbeling in a TC (unless its a 4tec or spirit)

It seems brushless is the way to go now in days.You guys say its basically maintance free which I like.Where do they sell the brushless set ups you guys talk about?

45mph pede

www.rc-monster.com

ApocalypseNow

wow 500 dollars for a esc its steep.I would only get it if I was planning to race. what motor/esc would you recommend for my xxxt{good price and reliability}.Which one would get my xxxt to about 40 mph.

45mph pede

500$??

Man you could get a whole brushless system that will get you up to 70mph for that! More like 250-350$ for a pretty darn good brushless system. Email mike at rc-monster, he will point you in the right direction as far as brushless set ups.

News Flash! You cannot race sensorless brushless motors like RC-Monster sells (Feigao, Lehner, Hacker). The only approved brushless motor, for organized racing is the Novak. If you want to race, you are limited to the Novak.

The XXX-T RTR 2 is darn near perfect. There is ABSOLUTELY no need to upgrade ANYTHING. It has GREAT electronics, and GREAT radio, and a descent motor.

Just get the truck, and run it.

The only upgrade that an XXX-T needs is a brushless system. But you should get that later....


If you guys are so worried about upgrades, before you even have the truck, perhaps you should consider buiding a kit??????? Buy all the 'upgrades' the first time by selecting a good chassis, and the motor of your choice......

Buying an RTR, only to part it out is a bad decision. It will cost you more to do that!

ApocalypseNow

For now Im just thinking of getting a quad mag 19t.would that raise the performance just a little.

My Feedback: (1)

i think the xxx-t rtr2 comes with a trinity 19t if im not mistaken

ApocalypseNow

wouldnt the reedy quad mag be better than the motor the rtr brings?
