I had a very brief wheel of Andy Shillitos X-6 today. Have to say it was good, the turning on the infield was excellent. There was a bigger difference between loose / grippy surfaces than with the B4 but it was still good..
Shilly might not want to admit it but me and john are usually on pace with him nowadays but were trailing him today with his new car. I know I had a bad day anyway but even when i had a good run it was only shillys cells coming apart that let me beat him.

Your right Jimmy. I won't admit that i'm getting worse, whilst you and John are getting better !

Anyhow, the X-6.
I like it a lot, an awful lot. Considering that I just put the B4 shocks on and ran the kit setup it was brilliant. I'm no expert on setup and such like, but I can say that the car felt really planted. The main thing that you notice is just how much grip and turn in you get (I was running a B4 front end with the different axles (in-line ??) too so this might have helped further). Anyway, it felt really good, I could really keep the power on through the twisty bits, much more than with the Losi or B4. It was though a tad tricky on the dusty concrete, but apart form that, brilliant. I managed to keep a few 4wd's XX4's at bay around the track, and the car made me grin for the duration of each race, so i'm sold, well done X-Factory.

Good luck running Dans next week Jim, let us all know how it goes.

To be honest all I've done is open the box, not even took it out properly.
