CRC Losi XXX-T Short Course conversion

CRC are offering a conversion for the Losi XXX-T to turn them into a SC Truck. The set converts most all XXX-T truck kits from Team Losi, including the Desert Truck & XXX-T CR utilizing carbon fiber chassis extensions that allow you to use your stock rear bottom plate. Using the stock rear bottom plate makes converting any XXX-T a breeze because there will be no complications with the rear arm mounts, transmissions, etc not matching up. RTR’s, MF 1’s, MF 2’s, Desert Trucks, and the newest XXX-T CR’s can all be converted using this setup, however the CR will require you to replace the quick change hubs and axles over to standard type axles.

Xray Column – EC indoor, EC 1/12, Silverstate, LRP Masters, Neo

The 42nd installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column he talks about what has happened since he last wrote about his travels to Pattaya, Thailand for the Worlds Warmup race.

Running from an airport in UK with a quick stop at home, I have just landed now in Spain (southern Europe), taking the rent-a-car and driving to Portugal. It is already April and in the last few weeks I have had no time to stop for a minute and write my monthly column, so non-traditionally I have been taking care of that at the 1/8 off-road EC Warm-up. Six large race events within 5–6 weeks… this would overwhelm just about anybody.

Read the full column here.
