Team Losi XXX-BK2

[James]

Finally!

It came with LOADS of spare wheels/tyres, spare springs, gears, turnbuckles, arms, etc... heh heh. body paint job is a bit dodgey, but looks okay.

needs one small part replacing, a 4-40 1" button head hex screw. :)

woot

niiiiice...

hey i recognise that pci card box on your work bench :P

damnit... this makes my b3 look like a pile of turd :'(

[T4Trasher]

that looks really good James

[BAGES]

nice buggy James - *buggies are good hmmmkay*

[James]

I got it off a guy on the rctech forums. $250
I also got my 15A powertech power supply $120
3x Harris r/c matched GP3300 cells (2 unused 1 used once) $220
and a Novak GTX ESC $140

all prices are inc shipping from east.

[James]

Considering they are, what, $570 or something (rob?) and all the spare wheel/tyres/parts I got. I think it's a damn STEAL. I guess I know a deal when I see one... same with the other stuff I've got coming.. slowly! urgh.

I'll get more pics up in this thread as I clean it up, and set it up to my specs.

If the interclub is indeed on, on sunday, I doubt I'll be racing this. My batteries didnt arrive, I need an axle screw, a stock motor, and I've never used a Losi Buggy... infact the last buggy I ever drove was my Hornet about 15 years ago. rofl.

[T4Trasher]

yer you got some good deals there James
The XXX BK2 is about to go down in price hopefully about $400

but you did do really well am looking for those parts at the moment!

[justo316]

I think new bk2 is between 3-400, but you still got a bargain with all the spares. Why didn't they make it colour coordinated like the first edition?

[James]

so glad losi stuff is gonna come down in price, finally!

[mitchremotes]

James all depends where you buy Losi gear from, you got a price on BK2 gear local or East Hobby Shops, really need to compare mate, huge diff's, let me know what your chasing, probably already got it in stock, with NO waiting hey.

[James]

[opAsx]

how did you place?

[James]

not enough people for racing. if none of you come, there's no racing. !satan there was about 5 off-road guys, max. a few mini-T's, etc.

They need to move their off-road racing to a different day, and arvo or night, coz no one really wants to race r/c at 9am on a sunday morning. Plus you rock up and the pits is already full of on-road people. grrr.

a weeknight would be good. (not fri obviously).. hrmmm

[opAsx]

sunday morning is definately the last time i would be waking up for rc racing. nothing before lunch time on the weekends :D

[M.J]

i like the poster in your workbench lucky you got that bk2

It was a steal

let us know about a stock motor

[James]

updated pics. I got my "JCART Racing" body and wing in the mail yesterday, damn I'm impressed... the colour mix is excellent... :) ignore the filthy buggy, it's fresh out of the bombshell classic.

body = teh nice one111!!!!!!oneone

[BALISTC]

That is the coolest shell I've seen in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !clap !clap !clap !clap

[James]

it's not easy to see in the pics, but the checkers are black and silver, the rest is like a magenta colour, then the flames, etc. it's not a bad job. they are in Bunbury.... i found some of their work on ebay, had to get the BK2 shell, about $69inc post. reasonable... :)

[JD]

wikid!!

[Bowling Ball]

Looking pretty sweet James. Does this guy have a contact number or email?

[James]

the ebay shop: http://stores.ebay.com.au/JCART-RACING-CUSTOM-WORKZ

i think it's a husband and wife venture.. the whole purchase was so simple, arrived real fast too.. well packed, etc.

[BAGES]

James that is one sexy bitch of a shell - YEAH BABY !!! !boobs !super

[BALISTC]

How often do these people have Mini-T shells? I WANT!!

[opAsx]

they will custom paint a shell if you send it to them :D

[James]

my mini-T shell was done locally by Mike (hangs around PHC and Perth r/c... :)

BK2 shell off ebay, painted by JCART Racing in Bunbury :)

[Nitro LST]

yeah thats a sick shell I love the paint work but my shells don't last too long at all a couple of good roll overs and they tear at the Body mount holes!!

[James]

less than a week until the state titles, and my BK2 currently looks like this:

and requires a tiny little steering bearing which seems impossible to get a hold of!? !rant

[Bowling Ball]

I may have the ball races your talking about - I will have a look when I get home

[James]

cheers bb... :)

[James]

I fixed the steering assembly by making a metal bushing, it worked a treat. god bless my drill press :) (that rhymes) !lmao

now here's a pic of a box with a 0.08/60' digital coreless servo inside :P about to go into the BK2.. hah ha haaaa, overkill.

e107_files/public/2_xxx4g_012.jpg

[Dlux]

can never over kill on steering. I'm using the 5945 on my xxxt!?!?!?!? I should change that I reckon

[James]

one headache after another... I've discovered my idler gear/shaft in the tranny is somewhat BENT, it's always been like this, no wonder the spur/pinion mesh has never been perfect. DOH, off to the shops for a replacement.

[James]

still to do.., get new idlershaft, re-fit tranny, re-oil all shocks, install new motor, install new servo, re-install all electronics, glue more sets of tyres.

urgh.. I'm going to be cutting it close
