atom3624 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Losi one works perfectly. I've no doubt 'The Dude' mount will be of excellent quality - I have the motor mount for the recently purchased 1717 1650 kV XO-1 motor I've just installed. It's SOLID!! 1/4" (6.xxx mm) thick!! Al.

TH3 NUTT3R Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Currently on the losi conversion kit But changed my mind on the twin speed Getting the dude mount and selling the conversion kit to get some funds back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78.8 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Currently on the losi conversion kit But changed my mind on the twin speed Getting the dude mount and selling the conversion kit to get some funds back Great choice, I ran the losi conversion kit on a E LST2, soon sold it and bought the TDRacing single speed hub and mount. Click my build thread in signature, page one for the losi mount compared to the TDRacing mount. The TDRacing gear is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25601-/ That's mine after 3 months' BL / LiPo use after perhaps 2 years' nitro - used it at least twice a month since I bought it Xmas 2007. It is FASTER with the current (no pun intended) set up, but has lost some character no longer being nitro. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/18928-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/18927-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/18926-/ Something to look forward to!!

torque3 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 i have tini on my front andrear diff - on 6s half year and the front i broken after using a mechanical brake ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I considered keeping the mechanical brake, but ditched it for a single speed and using the motor. Works a treat - pick-up is phenomenal and top unreal .... Balance much better than before... too stable almost and I have to work it to get a wheely. If I had spare, I'd get a nitro 'spare' as I miss it .... a bit!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchrodeMode Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) The XXL really dropped in sales, it sucks though, I love mine.....Traxxas is killing the other brands when it comes to advertising, some noobs don't know of the other brands. Horizon Hobby is planning on revamping their RC brand line up; ECX for lower priced entry level rigs, Vaterra for bashers and Losi for racers. I wonder what HH will do about their micro line up, keep them under Losi or move them to one of their others?
