Default Losi XXX BK Build

Hi All

I thought I would start a build thread for my newly acquired Losi XXX BK1

I won this on eBay after bidding on many over the last few months. It appears to have quite a few nice upgrades, hopefully many more of the experienced folk on here can confirm what I do have.
I want to relive my start in RC (With Losi XX and XXX's) and restore this one back to original, with hopefully as many new and very good condition parts as possible, although tracking these down appears to be quite difficult at present.

First up, im stripping it down to clean and check every part, and start getting a list of what I need, and what is good for the parts bin..



A big hole in the gearbox casing, not ideal ..



Looks to be some Trinity rear hubs, and brace?



And possibly a Trinity battery brace?



I will add to this as I get more parts together, and get building this XXX back to its former glory. If anyone could help in directing me to sourcing parts for this, other than eBay, I would greatly appreciate it!
I look forward to sharing my progress

Thanks
Alex

looks like it has the trinity alloy options, should build into a nice car!

Give DMS racing a try as they stock lots of losi parts and have been around a fair few years so have the xx era and onward bits

Some of the RTR cars losi made are based off the xxx series so this could be an option to look at
