Losi XXX Kinwald Edition Rebuild

[losimad]

Hi all,
I've recently been rebuilding an xxx kinwald edition that I found cheap on ebay. Just thought I would share the pics if anyone is interested. Maybe someone out there can help me source a few bits. (Blue Front bumper, Phobia body?)

So far I have completely stripped the car down and cleaned all the parts. The gearbox was in a bit of a state, and lots of rusty screws. The rear outdrives and dogbones are pretty worn out.

Here's how it was when I got it... Will update pics as I go.





The gearbox was a bit of a mess!

And here is the car almost completely stripped down and cleaned.



I have found a new graphite battery strap, some brand new kinwald wheels and new tyres, trinity blue motor plate (not sure whether to use the original or not) and also have lots of new in bag losi parts ready to be fitted. New graphite arms, diff balls, e-clips, screws etc. I've fitted the original kit springs.

More to follow soon...

Good job, I love doing stuff like this, just never get round to taking pics.

Thanks Andy.

Here's the gearbox all cleaned, bearings replaced/cleaned as required.



All nice and smooth now...



Just need to find some decent outdrives and cvd's now.

Hope can see the complete soon .

There's been a slight delay with this project due to sourcing the new parts I needed. The diff, outdrives and dogbones were all very worn.

The good news is I found a job lot of new in pack losi xxx spares on ebay which included practically every thing I needed, so I can really get stuck in now and finish it off!



I've got new outdrives, cvds, all new diff parts going in, carbide diff balls, thrust bearing / screw set, shock rebuild kits and lots of other goodies. It should be a nice buggy when it's done.

I've just received a new in pack phobia rear wing from america, and also found a half decent phobia body which will have to do until I can find a new one (if I ever do!).
