Fantastic work as always Olivier!!!
![]() You should ask Jimmy to make you your's own blog here on oOple! I'd love to know "where you're at" at all times! ![]() I've got tons of cars myself, but still find the handling of the XX4 unbeatable! But the belts are a bit narrow for astro and brushless... Would it be possible to do a mod with wider belts???

Here is the Manutech Racing LiPo weight balancer. It's the model design for AE TC5 but once cut it fits perfect in the XX4
![]() It has been machined a little to have 80g extra weight (40g on each side). The original part weights around 120g. ![]() ![]()

Here is the mod I've made on steering bell crank to make it more reliable.
A socket head M3 screw. I reduced head diameter so that it fit the ball bearing. ![]() I drilled a hole on the top of the part so that 1.5mm pin goes in: ![]() The pin assembled: ![]() I drilled the upper part so that pin also goes in: ![]() The assembly: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hi Olivier,
I saw that you fitted the Lesro one-way but how did you center the pulley on the one-way? ![]() I cannot seem to get it centered correctly ![]() Thanks ![]() Kusal |

I have a few questions
what is a lesro pulley? is that a pengiun front shock brace, how is the turnbuckle mounted at the bottom? do you have your clickers locked? what belts do you use? thanks

Oliver's car is the prettiest car I have ever seen.
I have cleaned and scrubbed my XX-4 it does look good so far, but the only way to get mine to look as good as his is buy new parts. ![]()

Just out of interest. How do you plan to run the lipo's forward? Or is that a simple answer and you wont be?

The front shock brace is home made inspired by Penguin model. The brace is mounted with long ballstud and secured with locknut. I set the clicker free as I run the front oneway and green belts all the way.

I know it's out of interest for you ![]() So yes, I don't plan to run lipo's forward but if I would, I will play with LiPo balancer weight instead of change LiPo location. What do you think about a carbon fiber lipo balancer under the left saddle and put an extra brass weight just in front of the motor ?

That is one of the nicest setups I have ever seen on any car, completely stunning. Great work Olivier; I wish I had half of your skills.

Mine is pretty much a mixture from the other 2 cars I have.
I have cut scrap carbon fiber left over from my 501 and B44. To put on those shock towers. I plan on buying a new body as well, and have a painter paint it for me.

Absolutely beautiful work...really very impressive.
The only thing I would recommend is a brace for the rear shock tower camber link arms...something like this from the E-Speed parts range. http://www.xfactorystore.com/Images/...rlinkBrace.jpg

Why its totally pointless that part was puredesigned for the x5 as you have to remove material from the shock tower.
