Hi guys im new to RC but I have to say I love it so far. I have a Team Losi XXX-NT Sport and im looking to put some money in it. So to my Q, I need to know if the Team Losi XXX-NT Sport is the same as the other XXX-NT and will all the aftermarket parts interchange? Thanks for any help and I hope to all of you guys/girls at the track...

Then I have the frist RTR Can I still upgrade it and make it really fast and conpetive?

Ya it is competitive as is, but it could use a new engine like a os .12 cv-r.

A new engine with a good tuned pipe and a better steering servo would the first things I would do.

the pipe on the stock XXXNT RTR is just fine for a .12CVR (which is the engine I'd recommend for a n00b racer)

Yes but I love big power so I think im going to try a .21 to a .28 if I can get one the fit... Can anyone please give me a clue on which motor mite fit on my truck?

There would be a lot of modding involved to get a big block to fit. You are a newb so i wouldnt try it. You can have fun with rc just by going to the local track. If you really want power go with a .18 engine.

Hey dont go power crazy with your first car. You have to work your way up the chain. If you have too much power as a noobie your gonna end up doin some crazy things.

If you're going to race, learn how to get around the track with the engine you have long before upgrading. If you put a pile of power into that thing, you'll end up so frustrated with trying to drive it, you'll end up quitting.

yeah learn how to take turn and when to accelerate. You should read some magazines that will give you tips so the you can learn many of the techniques the pros use. I read Rc Driver and it gives me tons of tips.

honestly, i'd say go SMALLER.
a .12CV-R is the ticket for any n00b with a stadium truck.
Hell, i'm NOT a n00b and i run a CVR.

jkulhanek

CV-R would be a good choice, I have a Ported/turbo crank/knifed rod blah blah CV and it's almost too much power.

A .21-.28 would get owned by .12's around the track, because theres only so much power the tyres can put down to the ground, any more is useless.

losixxx-nt

i would not put a motor bigger than a .18 becuse you will be replacing parts left and right
first thing to go would be the transmission

i have had to replace probley 4 compound gears with my weak fantom .15
