Hey guys!


Haven't been on here as much as I used too, but I'm ready now for a full rebuild of my XBe.


Since buying used I have added several 7075rc parts.


Most of you know, the X series run so much better with their knucks and bearing holders.


I still hated the steering rack and flex in the chassis proved to be causing other issues with the pounding I give her.


Over the years in RC I have seen many aftermarket manufacturers and


IMHO Ol'Fart make some of the absolute BEST Aluminum parts money can buy at a very reasonable price.


That being said I decided to go full monty and get the real 7075rc treatment.


I give you my Bloody Blackcat 7075rc Rebuild....

I will try to update this thread as I wrench along...


this is not everything, still parts to PowderCoat and waiting for wheel adapters, gears, shock parts...prolly something else i'm forgetting... :D

I was waiting for someone to ask that... :rolleyes:

They are Losi 5ive Ti pins!

(now your smacking your forehead saying why didn't I think of that...lol)

Diamond cutting wheel then grinded smooth & belveled edges.

(I made them .5mm longer and it's a perfect snug fit)

Lol your ride is nice. Red looks sexy. If I were you, I wouldnt leave the rear and front end (diff case) open like that.

Maybe a DIY bumper from HPI or FG might do it. Those diff are 100$ each.

Front end has TBR bumper...don't race and rarely go reverse, so don't mind open rear and like the cleaner look
