Old Atomic-Carbon proto's
As people want to see more pictures of the upgraded XX4 i do a few years ago, i thought it might be nice to post various photos from the different protos i have made over the years.
Hopefully it might inspire people to have a dabble themselves and mod there own cars or dream up something new. OK 1st up is a Slim 2 which i made back in 2006, it seems this layout style is catching on again

And a alternative version of the Slim 2 to reduce torque steer.
Big problem with both cars was the slipper clutch had no adjustment, it was either locked up or slipping like crazy. I did race the car at a 2wd mid west regional at Marston Palmer and it felt like a 4wd to drive, but it was very very hard to put the power down without lighting up the rear tires, due to the slipper.

Ok next up is my idea of a upgraded Losi XX4 the 4X from 2008
Photo 1 - this was the 1st proto using a flat CF chassis to make sure everything fits before the mould is made for the tub chassis. Photo 2 - This is comparing the car against a 501 Photo 3 - The tubbed version of the car, i am pretty sure Simon Reeves and Brian Preddy ran the car, problem i had was it really needed some aluminium parts like the motor plate instead of plastic which flex a lot. And with a XX4 rear end and a Cat SX front end, it would be to expensive to produce a kit as you need two donor cars. But with 3mm pitch and wider belts it was better suited for brushless and lipos.

XX4 front end was well know to be very weak hence using the Cat front end which was more upto the job and dimensional was very very similar to the XX4

How did you get the weight forward with that setup?

Was trying to get the weight back over the rear end rather than forward.

Hi Jonathan,
Do you think that company could get hold of some belts which would be stronger for the xx4? Noticed the one in your X4 arent green losi ones thats why i ask Cheers, Tom

On the 4X i converted everything to 3mm HTD pitch belts, a lot of cars use this like touring cars and most off road cars which are metric ie Yok, Schumacher, Xray, Serpent etc, the belts are a lot easier to get hold of.

i am running belts from there at the moment in the standard losi pitch but they wont last now when the avrg 6.5 is getting lose to 700W of power and the belts really are designed for your photocopier!!
