Default X factory X-3.5

I gave my X-6 its first real run today at a local clubs fun meet! I was running a 12 single motor and the car was fantastic untill I had a little colission with a losi XX-4

The losi was able to continue without incedent and I thought my X-6 was ok untill the marshel picked it up and to his amusement the enitre front end fell off!

I never knew that a losi was that strong

No I was stationary as id just had a spin after clipping a track marker but we hit head on and he was moving at a fair old rate of knots! It was on one of the fastest parts of the track and most people were running at least 12 turns!

Made a really loud CRACK as it hit as well!

They do tend to go there when caught wrongly. Its an unfortunate incident by the sound of it, but it is designed in that way so the chassis is unharmed.

Got to be said also that the XX4 is bulit like a tank, I suspect a B4 or a XXX will not come away laughing either.
