I recently purchased an original losi XXX off of ebay. I was under the impression that it was an XXX-CR, so when I got it, I was surprised (happy surprise, not angry surprise). Now though, I realize that it is probably hard to find parts for. Does anyone know any websites that still sell them?

Actually, you are in great shape...
As noted in the XXX-CR thread, etc. much of the original XXX has been reborn in the XXX-CR (such as the transmission, etc.) or are interchangable (chassis, shock towers, etc.) with only added options, no loss of function...
Even with the XXX-CR, many are now using a "hybrid" design, with the original XXX rear pivot block, XXX-BK2 A-arms, etc...
Check out the thread I mentioned -- you will be pleased to know you own one of the most versatile platforms available for 2wd buggy...
I currently run a XXX-CR for offroad in the standard configuration and I have an old, original XXX that is now a 2wd "Latemodel" for the local dirt oval... ;)

Awesome service and prices! Their site also shows discontinued parts with replacement number to help order the updated part.
I just bought an original XXX for my son and have a few parts to order myself.

You should be able to get XXX parts from any web store that carries Losi products . XXX is not Vintage and parts are still being made .
I use my local hobby shop ,LPH , and Horizon to get parts .

Thanks for the responses! Now I know a few good places to get the parts. The problem is SOME parts (1 or 2) don't seem to be listed anywhere but http://www.modelland.com/Prices%5CManufacturer%5CTEAM_LOSI.txt .
I am defiantly glad to know that (for the parts I can't find) the XXXCR parts are interchangeable.

I've created a spreadsheet of all the XXX Parts. They list which buggy they were made for.
