more pics.

I took off the windows and it turns out I like it alot better. Also there's a pic of my friends daughters mini i bough for her. First rc ever and she loves it. Do you guys know of any upgrades for her mini??

Here's the pics..


THE MINI ON THE BED OF THE XL :-)




Also to add the 5.9 is a beast. It seems like it has alot more bottom and mid than the losi 454. I don't know why people knock this engine so bad..

I love the xl. Its my second one and well worth it imo. Even tho I had to replace my throttle first day I desisted to run it.

What x are you getting?? Are you getting the old x or the 2011 x?? If your getting the old x you can suspect diff problems and that's pretty much it. Also I have no clue what goes into the xl conversion I do know the extended chassie isn't all you need..

I know to convert it you'll need the xl chassie, longer front drive shaft and xl out drives and 17mm hexes. I could be wrong but if I am I'm sure someone will chime in..

You should contact HPI and get that replaced under warranty. Yes, it's a crappy servo to begin with, but you could make a little money off it in any case.

That body is sweet. What did you use when you masked it before paint?
