Status: offline 		There are more parts that will fit. Evader parts will, they are the same as the XX series trucks/buggies. You can drop on the graphite front AND rear hubs, steering knuckles, and front suspension arms from the evader. That makes going graphite cheaper too, i hear the Duratrax graphite is pretty tough.

Status: offline 		The b4/t4/gt diff gear is right but the outdrives are just a hair too wide, the case wont screw together without pinching the diff. So the stock outdrives it is. I used a asc diff rebuild kit and resurfaced the stock rings; the diff is almost smooth now. The xxxnt rear arms and rear pivot block and body are all almost direct fits. Do you just place the losi 51t xxxnt spur in the slipper with the stock xtm slipper pads? The index tabs on the xtm are along the outer edge while the losi tabs are on the inner edge, with it all assembled it looks like it'll stay together is that right?

The xcellerator is a gem once it gets done up well. Plenty of parts fit, just gotta know where to look

I'm gonna stock up on duratrax's graphite stuff for it (rear arms are a negative... just get XTM aluminum arms and aluminum hubs to fix the problem). Other than that, you balance the truck out pretty well and beef it up pretty nice by doing that. Use captured ends on the turnbuckles, it'll prevent many of dnf's. I hear XTM's ball cups are weak and even the turnbuckle it self is... but I HEARD that. I am still going to upgrade it

Status: offline 		things i have done to mine and i know will fit..

losi springs.. a better fit thaN team assoc. losi spring fit perfect without binding

assoc diff gear.. and carbide balls.. must use assoc. diff ring... the diff gear ball holes are a different size and the stock bearings wont work.. and the stock ring wont work on the assoc gear..

assoc. idler gear..

also to fix the ball cups from coming off the rear chassis brace.. most common place for disconnection,, im using dubro capture links,, and since i have been using them i have noticed my speeds at the track to go way up.. not having to worry so much about landing PERFECTLY and im not wasting time fixing it.. another place to put the capture links are on the steering knuckle but that is an easy fix and those only come off when i hit a wall head on ...

but i would like to find a cvd that would fit besides xtm.. and to protect the diff outdrive tamiya makes this blade thing that fits on the end of the dogbone and uses the pins to allow swivel action while the bone spins and shocks are in action. it is just a small piece of plastic that fits over and onto the pins and slides into the outdrive for a perfect fit,,, reducing wear of the outdrive.. and only the "blade" gets damaged

my LHS has more parts for the X-C than all the other ST's on the market...It's the LHS I like too, which always made me feel bad for goin to my other LHS for GT and Losi parts

aside from the Jato. They have stacks upon stacks upon stacks of Jato arms and bulkheads

Status: offline 		traxxas seems to make 1/10th ****ty and then hundreds of companies make new products to make it better. The Xtm Xcell is strong as it is, but it has very few major areas to be worked on. I hear the diff doesn't hold up very long.

Ok guys with Rc10GT diffs, please provide the part name and associated part numbers for what parts we'll need to drop in a RC10GT diff.

Copy and paste this

Status: offline 		Well my engine is on its way, got it from my sponsor. STS .12R. STS made engines for HPI a while back, but the best example i can use is the .12r xs from HPI which is basically the sts D12E. The .12 r has more power and a bit more speed. Will take pics when i get it.
