Losi xxx I guess. marcus is a former Losi driver.

[andy reeves]

They look like Losi springs both front and rear. I have ran Losi springs on my X2C before so know they fit :thumbsup:

[ben44]

Ok, thanks. I see picture later on the day 2 and i think i was past the big bore but i'm not sure.
They don't use the new Nylon or delrin part?

Thanks Ben! That looks like a long chassis to me...!

[Mark Boos]

Yes, he´s a great driver and our Team Captain over here in Germany! If I remember correct, he finished 4th or 5th in 4WD Buggy at the 2003 worlds.:thumbsup:

[ben44]

MiCk B. :-)

Is setup, and the test with the long chassi. I try to find the Part number of the truck chassi but it's same as the mad rat / X2?
Why did he don't try the new delrin or kevlar parts

[notme]

MickB, I will probably never run a rack anything like that, so setup does not apply.
But would like to know what parts he is using in the transmission and anything specific in its setup.

thanks

Hello guys,

I talked to Markus the last two days and he is very happy with the setup of his car.
In practise he back to back tested the bigbores and the standart ones and for the finland track the bigbores are better so both X2 cars at the worlds running the bigbores, markus with medium /medium springs and 32,5wt oil. The track is not very hard to drive but you have to push a lot to be fast so mistakes are the main problem :)

for the rest both are using the truck chassis cause its a lot easier to drive. the setup is very special for that track cause they are running a lot of weight in the front that normally on dirt is a no-go but over there it is needed.

for the drivetrain I gonna ask him this evening if he is running the kevlar parts into it and the nylon idle...

so and now finger crossed for the last qualy and then I think in 4wd he is gonna be more relaxed cause he was not running a lot 2wd in the last few mounts but a lot of 4wd :)

for the truck chassis the number is :125000409 but in germany not available from the factory at the moment, maybe some dealers gonna have some.

kind regards
Tom

Thanks Tom, sounds like a similar setup I run. For the diff I found the Xray rings last much longer and wont ruin the balls.
Like he said, very easy to drive and push hard.
thanks

@notme

the original rings are to soft I think and so the diffs wear out quite fast :(

so the xray rings are a plug and play or do you have to modify them ?
kind regards

When i look the number is the same for the X pro and the XT pro!!! so it's not longer than the X2 TE chassis?

Xray part # 30 5082 are the rings,(17x23x1mm) from the T2 touring car.

They do drop in without modification, however the inside diameter is .22mm bigger then the stock rings. I put a tiny amount of red loctite on the outdrive and centered the ring.
The B4 rings also fit, but you need to dremel a tiny bit from the ID of the ring. It it a very fine amount to dremel off, with no worry of getting it out of round. The only problem with the b4 rings is they are around .30mm thinner then stock. I could not get the dif to adjust very well with these rings, so I went with the xrays.
If one could find a shim 17x23x.25-.30 then the b4 rings would be good, and less expensive.

Back on the worlds topic, I see Marcus finished 8th in the E main. That gives him 68th overall out of 160 entries. Not bad for not a lot of time on the car (apparently).
Slightly sorry to see ae win another title, It would be nice to see another brand win (IMO). But driving skills are what wins, not necessarily the brand.

[Tbone]

Hy Guys :)

@Ben

the main problem is that Ansmann Racing was using the 125000409 number ass there "long" XT chassis but in the package you received the short one and the "short" chassis was the long one.

now they fixed the number problem and when you order the long you also get this one.

problem is that some dealers still have the old ones left and so the mumber for 2 chassis are the same ..
only chance is to ask them is the chassis fits the XT cause this is the chassis to go and its 1,5cm longer than the normal TE chassis

@notme thanks for that mod ..I give it a try :)

No Markus was not having a lot of time with his 2wd and focused on 4wd so I hope he will do better the next days :)

Endresult for 2wd is 48 so 8the on the E final..on the phone he said ..to much fights with Viktor .. and when you look..also the guys in the E final are some quite fast and well known names ...

kind regards Tom

[nosequehacer]

Zacarias Villalba was there too as an Ansmann driver, I think 52 overall, not bad too

[Tbone]

Hello again :)

Yes Zac from spain was also there and great result for him to :)

all in all it was 4 ansmann cars at the start in 2wd.

just talked to Markus and here are some informations :

he runned :
-kevlar Spur and diffgears
-nylon idle gear
-airventilated slipperdiscs from ansmann (comming soon i hope)
-4mm hex for the wheels

i have the complete setup but is to big to upload so i think it will come on the ansmann (germany) page soon
now let's see what they are doing in 4wd and i think the result will be even better:)

kind regards
Tom

You wont be able to buy that with an ansmann sticker though . Unless ansmann pull out of the team c deal to and go with tq.

[ConceptRacing]

I doubt very much if there will be a new car, they have spent a lot on developing this car, im sure they are not going to just drop it for a new one, I could be wrong and dont being corrected but just because TQ racing are splitting from TeamC and possibly developing a new car doesnt mean Team C will be releasing one, unless its with a longer chassis as some have been running in the worlds.

[notme]

I dont think they should make a new car. The current one works well. Look at the losi 22, a lot of new ideas on it,but its not setting the world on fire, yet the old design b4 is still very competitive, and our 2wd is similar to it. If anything develop new parts that alter the geometry, like arms, hubs. Not a full new design, just tweaks.
IMO of course.
