Hey guys I bought a xxxt off a buddie about 5 years ago and mostly ran it up and down the street. Decided to getit out again after about a year of not touching it and wanted to see if it could go threw a tire of a parked car :) 5 bucks and an hour later I had it fixed.

But to my questions, I've been thinking about getting into raceing but I'm not sure what is really on the car the motor is all black and I'm not sure if its stock or mod or what, my buddie couldn't tell me much since he bought it off a buddie of his and I dont really talk to him any more, is there any way I can find out what type of motor is on it? markings of any kind? and also the springs, are they all preaty much standerd color codeing from brand to brand? he gave me a bunch of extra springs and other various parts mainly broken axles lol. I do know it has a full, or mostly full graphite kit replaceing the original chassis. I just would like to have an idea of what I have on the car if I do decide to race and of course be with in the rules if needed. Hanging out at the track I know would help also.

my geuss is that that motor is probably no good after 5 years anyway, so if you want to get into racing buy yourself some cheap insurance with one of these motors and run stock class, also pick up some tires, these should work fine.

I actualy replaced the tires when I got it and they aren't worn down at all yet, i have some road hog's on the back but not sure what is on the front. It still scoots preaty good but yeah thats just up and down my street so your probaly right. Any advice on the springs? The ones I have are neon green, orange, dark red and pink...but I dont know what rate they are, right now I have 40 wight oil in the shocks with orange in front and green in the back. Unless differnt brands collor code them differnt.

thanks for the links too by the way. O are there alot of rims that will fit on the xxxt? I seem to not beable to find any expecialy for the rear that have that groove cut in the back for the pin
