Soon I might wanna convert my XX4 to a street weapon. Is their a kit for this or do I need to buy all the separate parts? Which parts do I need?

WELL, there is no specific kit, and i do not think it would be that good, considering that the shelf weapon is not very good, i would just get a rally weapon, adn slam it, you can pick them up for around 150 bucks

XXXer is right, the conversion itself (to buy all of the parts that is) would cost more than a new on-road kit!!
Are you looking to race this car on-road? parking lot racing? or just to play with?

Yall are right. I would nt get serious with the "shelf weapon' (haha). I think thats a good idea to get the rally weapon and slam it. Does it have an underbody to keep the dust out or is it a sealed drive train like the xx4???? Oh and is it a 200mm wheel base?

Well it looks to me that the yokomo mr-4tc rally looks like the best rally car that could be turned into a touring when needed and run stock well. Is there any difference in the shocks of the TC and the rally? What about 200mm a-arms? It comes with 190mm arms, but that doesnt sound as good as 200 for rally.
why would slaming a rally weapon make it a better TC then a street weapon?
the street weapon is a awsome TC, and has a record to prove it.
the reason not to buy a street weapon is that losi is preparing to replace it not because its not very good.

Doublet,
If you are planning to be competitive and race this on road car, buy a car, don't buy a rally kit and slam it, the handling change will be dramatic. If you want to play with the thing in front of your house or on a dirt lot - get the rally kit.
As for the Street Weapon, I haven't seen one be competitive in a while.

Hey Mike you are right...all Losi have awsome track records to back them up! I have seen alot of Street Weapons in races latly and winning. I was looking at Losi's prototype new TC and it looks awsome. Anyone else see it yet? Also if you go to the web site and look at the race events and pics notice how they write Boooo under anyone racing anything but Losi's. LOL i think its cool.
Team Losi All the Way Baby!
