Hi
Lots to learn and some motor wires to shorten but here's my X6 bought on oOple.



Already put an order in with DMS for some parts and may invest in the box-o-bolts as well.

Looking forward to race day on Tuesday.
Feel free to offer up any improvements you may see.

You should consider fitting a rear rollbar and the e-speed hangers - both of which will improve the handling on grass/astro/carpet.

E speed hangers in the post and I may have enough parts to make an anti roll bar.

Check set-up sheets carefully regarding weight and its placement. That's a lot of brass & ally, which looks great, but may be too much and/or in the wrong place.

Yeah the brass behind the servo is only held in by friction at the moment and I'll experiment with removing it. Apart from the hinge pin brass there is no other added weight so plenty of experimenting will be needed.

Default Here's my machine

Bought off Ebay a few months ago. Went straight for the T config as it meant my speedo fit in nicely. Only managed to run it once so far and it was great to drive although it did have a lot of steering. Since then I've taken one brass plate from under the servo (left the brass bulkhead in) tightened the diff, added a rear ARB, moved the wing forward and got lighter oil all round. So many changes it will be like starting again

The body came from Ebay too. A guy at the club said he thought he recognised it from the past but couldn't remember the drivers name.

It's just a std X Factory part:

Carbon fibre battery strap - Sub C Nimh Cells (X60, SCX60 or X6 Squared)
Product Code XF 1224 available at DMS for £22.96

I had to modify mine slightly as I run my LRP lipos upside down (or they are too high) so had to file around the humps slightly.

That's my old shell mate, you may have seen it at that time around the mansfield area or around the East Midlands Regionals.
Still looks good!
Do you use the other one (white & blue) that one was my fovorite?

Hi Pedros I recognise your name from Ebay now. Thanks for the quick delivery

Yes the white shell is good but I prefer this one. Did you paint them yourself BTW?

Default X6 shell

Hi mate
No I didn't paint them, my apprentice at work painted them. The blue one was one of his 1st! Shame he doesn't paint them any more eh?

There standard Losi springs on Losi shocks. You can get them from most model shops.
