Sosidge - Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
I used to race years ago (a Losi XX4 WE which I still have
) and now I want to get back into racing.
I chose to run a Pro 3 because the chassis layout makes a lot of sense with the two heaviest components (batteries and motor) centrally positioned. Plus it was going very cheap indeed.
It seems most parts are still available on ebay and some model shops but I'm struggling to find a complete diff. The previous owner made the rear diff into a fixed axle for a drift setup so I need to get it replaced with a functioning diff.
I did find someone on ebid who had 3 brand new one way diffs for sale but at over £90 I feel this is excessive!
Your right about the batteries, there's only 135mm length in the battery bay which isn't enough to accommodate a lipo stick pack.... hmmm this will need some working out unless I can buy a shorter pack.
I feel this car can still be competitive enough against the newer chassis as it's design is quite brilliant. If I can get a fully up to date brushless system installed it would be interesting to see what it could do...
Bretts - The car is in bits at the moment ready for a complete rebuild. Once it's done I'll post some pics for sure
