"Oliv"-who`s battery strap is that ? Or is it "homemade"

[caneye]

Very nice car!!

I like the colour coordination

I see you run with minimal weights (unless they are under the saddle packs). Do you run with any weights on the front bulkhead? Or the alu bulkhead & steering are heavy enough?

Very much so!

In my opinion you do the most innovative mods, the best looking mods, and the neatest and coolest wiring & pure bling!

And then you are also really skilled with the airbrush! I see you also change your scheme all the time, you're not stuck in the same direction - very impressive!

Like I've said before, I'd like you to have your own blog so we can see all your work at all times! "The Brain @work"?

Can you drive well too???

Regards from your #1 fan

Edit: Is that vinyl with carbon effect on the rear wing or painted?

It's an home made LiPo strap, sitting on B44 battery posts. I have the DXF file available if you want to cut one by yourself...

Thanks Caneye!
I did not run this X6 pretty much and I need to practice and setup it well. Buy now the only weights I put on the chassis are located beside the servo in the triangular spaces: 15g on the left and 15g on the right covered by carbon like vinyl. The front bulkhead can host some weight too (30g) but I'm not addicted to. BTW I need to practice much to feel it better.

Oliver is an original Family member from the X - 5 days, so we have been treated to his work for several years.

Finally re-did my electronics set-up:

I didn't know Azarashi made these... Is it made to fit the X6 or does it happed to be that it fits well? Either way, this has to be one of the first stunning looking X6's I've seen

[YoungChazz]

One of the best-looking jobs of wiring an R/C car I've ever seen! Very nice indeed.

The Azarashi shell is made by them to fit the X - 6 Squared. I think XFactoryUK has them.

Think I can give you a run for your money on the wiring. Just need to sort out my rx aerial placement and finish off my battery strap.

Hello chaps,
finally got mine in a reasonable condition just need to finish tidying up some wiring.

As to X-5 parts I would recommend you to supply your customers with the parts you can still manufacture. Given that there is a demand of course. (We know the chassis mould is broken though)

Otherwise I think some people would be a bit sceptical as to buying a new X-car if they risk not getting parts for it some years from now...

if you contact neil at rwracing i think he can make some diffpulleys but minimum should be around 20ish

The rear pulley from the XX4 works just as well on an X5 and at £7.50 for the whole pack is cheaper too....

He wanted machined pulleys

I know that but the the machined ones are the wrong "pitch" for the belt used and therfore skip more then they should the molded Losi ones fit the belt perfect, and therefore run smoother, quieter and with less skip too

We only learnt about the mismatch of tooth profiles on the belts compared to the machined pullies many months after using them.....

Just give the right spec to neil then ...

We did at the time and he did not possess the right tool to cut that pitch apparantly....
