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.

Friday’s action went better for the 110 drivers who got some dry track running and many were surprised that it had maintained its grip level despite it having been so wet the previous days.

Team Alternativ top BL team at French 8-hour enduro

We received a report that Team Alternativ/PRT/Sweep finished first of the 1/8th brushless cars at the recent 8 hour endurance race organised by RC94 in Sucy-en-Brie, France. Finishing 5th overall, the car used was a Losi Eight E with Team Tekin RX8 speedo, PRT motor, SMC batteries and Sweep Exagon tires. After fixing radio problems that cost them 65 laps during the first hour of racing, Team Alternative came back from 16th, and last position, to finish 5th, 68 laps down on the winning nitro car and managed to put in some of the fastest laps of the race. They only used two sets of Sweep Exagon tires throughout the entire race and the only mechanical problem was a rear bearing failure in the last hour.
