Default Our go at a lipo X6

Our go at a lipo x6...

Here are some pics of our attempt at a lipo x6 we filled the front battery slots with some apoxy putty up to the little brace bit and then filled the rear battery slots but still allowing room for lead. We also filled the spare screw holes for the 3 gear box and put screws to hold the wing instead of the clips. And finally sprayed his shell which is still drying. here are some pics.....

Looks good!

I'd move the rear camber link out though, ideally the E Speed hangers of course

Is that a receiver pack???

Er.... you just put it on Ash. The slipper plates have the same key to the layshaft, you just need the short spring for the hydradrive.

Locating the spring is the only thing, you have to drill out either the small spring locator washer or the big load distributing spring locator thing. Defo need the short silver Hydra spring though.
