I used to get it done by a fella in thailand but he wont do buggies i gave tel a pic of one of my tourers and he has done an awesome job.

What does the 4 gear box do apart from turn the motor round?

[Big E]

We all have the 2nd generation proto's coming to us as we speak to thrash around the track, if all is good then they won't be long away.

They make the car just a lot easier to drive to be honest, certainly faster still but more that they are easier. Better when you very first get on the throttle and you can also get the car in a slide and hold it where as with the 3 gear you couldn't really do that.

thanks for the link dan! and the info. ellis. im looking forward to them coming out, any idea on a UK price?? cos it says $49 but converting it to £sterling is never wot shops sell them for. sorry for all the questions, lol.

[Lee]

Matty, i would say were looking at 40 - 50 quid.

Thanks for the info Ellis, i couldn`t imagine this car being easier to drive, its like its on rails as it is

I find the front end is super acurate and precise and the rear end just follows, its ace!!!

[mattym0310]

lee, yeh thts wot i guessed. your car looks great btw. you gna bling it up?? or leave it as is? i think ill buy the shock tower and gear box just to keep mine upto date although im sure it really needs it, it would be good to have. £40-50 sounds quite a lot tho

[Lee]

Im waiting for the rear camber link hangers, i have the motor brace somewhere.
I think the 4 speed box will be beneficial after reading up on it. I really need some bk2 axles though at the moment.

[mattym0310]

i dont have them! ive lasted ever since i got my car, without them. as written above [somewhere ] i just space them. but i spose they cud make things easier.

[Lee]

I built up a set of losi shocks before and i needed 16mm of spacers in each rear shock to stop the shafts falling out

I still have plenty of droop and the same amount of travel as an ae shock so im sure it will be fine.

[bigred5765]

we just got our rear hangers and gearbox mount, but haven't had time to test em out yet,how the hell can it get any better Matty is just simply loving his new car, if all these upgrades add tenths of a second we will be chancing down 4wd cars,its so easy to drive.

[MikePimlott]

Ive ran the rear camber extenders from the start and car has been planted. I too am waiting for the 4 gear, gearbox to see if traction improves as suggested. Other than that X6 is "the best"

[bigred5765]

cant say we have had any probs with traction grip or drive, the only difference we run the b4 shock, but cant see them making much a difference,the car is just planted

[MikePimlott]

Your right mate car is ace. I couldnt beleive the difference from CR / B4 for myself

[super__dan]

If you have a pillar drill and a vice or heavy clamp you can re-drill you current axles 2mm further out, do the hole at 90 deg to existing one. It's really worth doing this to get more droop (for outdoors) especially if you're running Losi shocks else half the advantage of running the Losi shocks is lost by having to limit them so much.

I've not ran my X6 in anger for ages now, think interclub is next likely meeting too.

I will be doing this today, thanks dan

[Lee]

Dan, when you run the extra droop dont you find that the car rolls around a lot ?

[Northy]

It wollows around like a fat whore anyway Lee I think thats one of the things that makes it easy to drive, it does everything quite slowly.
