- Another Losi XXT arrives to the channel and I discuss how I BROKE IT, its key features, fix it and then get it back out on Phil's track, the Deep Woods Speedway for some action.

Great looking truck! That body, the hydra-drive, awh, the memories. My dad had one and against my RC10T it always seemed better; I just wanted whatever dad had really. Thanks for sharing! $38 for that cover isn't bad either! Looks fantastic.

Hey Brett, thanks for the comment. I really like my XXT and the way it performs better than my RC10T3. I think this might be my favorite Stadium truck at the moment. However, I just got a XXXT MF1 which I heard drives itself lol…..That one probably wont be up and running until the spring as I have a lot of catching up to do with other kits first.
Awesome Stadium Truck Ari, love the paint-scheme.
I love the paint scheme too. I might have to redo this paint scheme eventually. The body isn’t holding in too well.
Maybe its time to retire that body and go for a repo one.
That darn bulkhead again! Truck looks great bud. Really nice work with the running footage as well!
You and your channel have inspired me to start my first vintage RC restoration, a Team Associated RC10L-SS!
Looks great! I used to own one back in the day it was a great running truck. cinderblocks may be the only thing that can stop it!
LOL… how dare those damn cinder blocks get in my way! I really love the way this handled out there. At the moment, this is probably my favorite stadium truck.
We need more race night Arie! I want more racing! I wish I was not states away and was closer would love to race with you guys and girls. Started racing in 1995 and went to about 2001. I miss it. I got my daughter into it as well she loves car and has a 68 nova it is running but needs work. You guys are doing a great job I fill youg aging watching all of you.
Well I will eventually put out a video on the channel talking about the status of the race videos…. there will be some races but not as many as we would all like and the format is going to be a little different… I don’t want to give away too much…. But I’ll eventually explain in more detail in the video. Thanks for your support.
Just bought the exact st bulkhead for my xxt 4 months ago. Good quality great price.
Awesome video! That’s the thing about running vintage RCs. They do tend to break more easily. Appreciate you taking the risk so we get to enjoy nice content!😅 Glad it got fixed up in the end. Runs great!👍
Thanks. I added a chassis protector underneath too as it was in great condition. It had an easy life…. And I’d like to keep it in good condition. After that filming… I ran it in a race at Phils house against other guys and it held up nicely. I believe I placed 2nd. Altogether I really like the way it handled. Great stadium truck IMO….
Nice video! Sabula Tech make a gear cover for them, I think. I inherited my brothers XXT and love driving it.
Yeah I wanted an original gear cover prior to it breaking. I was trying to keep it all original. Then, the bulkhead snapped and I had no choice but to get a reproduction Sabula Tech one… I feel the exact same way, I love driving this one. By far, my favorite stadium truck….
Nice job Ari. We have all been there before. Some of these vintage cars are just sooo brittle.
So far the bulkhead is holding up nicely. I ran it at a race at Phils and its still going strong. This might be one of my favorite stadium trucks maybe even one of my favorite “runners” overall.
@@RCRetro awesome. 300 plus cars and I have still yet to add losi. It is coming soon though.
Great channel and vids! Ugh im going to have to buy an XXT now too! Maybe a graphite???
FYI you can get some gear covers for vintage cars from Team blue groove
Front bulkhead was a common issue with that platform..And replacement parts are far and few between...and usually have quite a markup...
I think rusti design might make an aluminum bulkhead. Theyre a modern company making parts for the xx series, but they're based in Europe somewhere, France I think?
I think I came across there website at one point. I’ll do a search for it again. Thanks for the info…
raced one for 5 or 6 seasons back in the 90s never broke a bulkhead, dont recall breaking much of anything on the car actually. i didnt start having breakage until i switched to a rc10b4 graphite , i had to go back to glass/nylon arms to get strength back though also a great buggy in its own right. things that i didnt like were the hydraclutch thing,. made no sense to have that incorporated into a slipper. as it was not very easy to tune and seemed way to slow out of the corners for my driving style i replaced it with a traditional slipper clutch real early on.
I feel you lol
How you going to film races on both tracks and how often will you be racing because of the two tracks and Phil's bigger.
I’ll eventually be putting a video out in regards to the status of races. Things are going to be a little different. Keep you posted and watch for the video…
They need to make that bulk head a little stronger. I find it hard to believe that just a bump alone would snap it.
Hey you saw it snap 2x in this video… Once from the other XXT that was featured on the channel, which was not mine and then mine. A lot of people shared in posts how week the bulkhead is but I didn’t believe it until we snapped 2 of them. Needless to say the Sabula Tech one is holding up nicely.
@@RCRetro true. But anyhow love your RC buggies, it's always something about them that gives them character. So, do you like the buggies or the trucks I wonder?🤔
Lapse ?
How much was that part?
Wasn’t much… I believe $20-30….
Love mine but it’s so brittle..
Yup it is…I ended up running this in a race at Phils.. placed 2nd and it ran awesome. No breakages either lol…
Gil Losee designed the original rc10 and when Gene husting screwed galosi over he developed the grx2 which was very popular Junior developed the double x and that's when rc10 went back to the drawing board and created bel2 that was kind of a flop fully developed the B3 which what's more competitive and then the XXX what's developed so basically Associated has always been behind Team Losi from the very beginning
This looks like this could be the track that you beat everybody on cuz you don't seem to be that great at tight technical ones and small.
Actually we raced on Phils track after this video.. I placed 2nd with this truck in the race.. It really handled nicely….
@@RCRetro you should see how well my holiday Buggy in a video you be surprised how well it handles with a 17 turn with the timing turned up a bit. An oil filled shocks.
FYI the double XT debuted in 1993 the rc10 T3 didn't come until around 1997 when did XXXt debuted so you're not comparing things Apples to Apples it's always been that way the double XT should have been compared to a T2 which is a B-2 at the time Team Associated was trying to play catch up the B-2 socked the double XP was so much better and that's the history Team Losi compared to associated. Associated has always copied the TC3 is a copycat of the double action by the time that truck debuted Team Losi had already put out the XXX which was way better
