[gordy]

ran my new x6 at Ledbury today for the first time. Fair play guys it's stunning! Spent the whole day changing set up. what surprised me the most was the fact the rear shocks need a lot more damping than on the b4. My only slight niggle is not being able to get enough droop on the back end. But am I impressed compared to my b4? Put it this way I'll never run a b4 again!

Why are you running different wings G?

And whats with the GRP stickers on jims car :lol:

[telboy]

Have you got something going on with GRP then G?

I think you need some more GRP stickers on your car because GRP isn't mentioned enough. I also don't think that the GRP on your GRP t-shirt is big enough, you need a bigger GRP on your GRP shirt.

Are you running GRP tyres at all? Think you should run GRP tyres matey, then you could put GRP all over your car!

Hmm G R P........Grahams Racing Products........that could work.:D

[super__dan]

pro4nut, car looks great but put your wing mount body clips in from the back as else if you stop suddenly (crash) the pics can come out forwards and your wing 1/2 or completely falls off :(

my old cars

original x5 built by chris long for me in 2006 using a new xx4, i had a roller bering mod on the belt and one in front of the xx4 pulley if the belt skipped over.
xxxcr rear end as well and EA3 arms


original x6 3 gear bought and run at the end of 06 with what is now the E speed optional rear link, but this was a prototype mod in plastic. also had the extra rear shock tower pick up point on the original tower
servo was moved forwards 2mm on b4 post and centre and right pillar trimmed for equal lock
also like runnig it on 3hole Rayspeed pistons and longer b3 rear shafts

Ian southwell now has the x5 and the x6 is in bits needing a new chassis

[RURC]

I just finished my X-6 a couple of weeks ago and here it is. I am working on a new body but my painting skills are rather basic. I am practicing before I do the new body and wing. Right now it runs a Hacker 10.5 with a Mamba Max. A multiplex receiver and HiTec digital karbonite servo. I run a Core 2 cell lipo and it goes like a mad dog.

@ Tom and Paul

The car is much better balanced in the air with the rear wing mounted as far forward as possible (and little/no guerney), which means you need to trim a section out of the front of the wing. Like;

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/southportnational2007/2wd/imagepages/NO5E1237.html

Up to you like but if it jumps nose high move the wing forward and cut the back out, same with understeer into a corner at the end of a straight (Worksop for example).

Thanks I try my best :thumbsup: the front castor block hubs are fastrax, not essential I think i broke only a couple of these and the steering blocks sometimes at the same time on the B4 and same with the X6 but i just got sick of them breaking, got these so only the steering hubs will break which is once every year normaly when they have got old and decrepid :D wouldn't get both castor block and steering block hubs though as this will put more stess on the wishbone which is worse, touch wood...havn't broken a front wishbone since last year either :woot:

[Chris Doughty]

Scotty - thats awesome!

and it must be really awesome to still look good with yellow wheels :p

[_sleigh_]

Scotty.. Looks awesome, but can I be the one to say the front tower in on backwards ;)

[ScottyP]

Yellow wheels rock! At least they do when you have failing eyesight like me :lol:

Tower on backwards... really?! I was going to give it the flick anyway since it's too strong and I keep stripping the front bulkhead / top plate.

[_sleigh_]

Yeah, the milled sections are to give extra clearance for the shocks. This is extremely useful when using Losi shocks, as it makes adjusting the collars super simple.

If you've just done a straight swap from std tower to K-Factory, then the front top plate will strip dead easy. That's because the K-factory tower (inc. aluminium mounts) is a bit thicker than the std B4 tower, so you need longer screws.

Think the standard screws are 3/8". I'm pretty sure I've got 1/2" in mine now, they might even be longer.

[Mike Hudson]

seen a fair few peoples kfactory towers pop off from people using the origional screws that are too short, make sure your using longer as i have done also which i noticed when swapping towers... :thumbsup:

Quality, very nice indeed!

[MHeadling]

Nice X6 there fella! What wing mounts are they??

[jono83]

Look like losi ones to me

[Wonderflupke]

The wing is a JConcepts 7" on Losi XXX wing mount.

[MHeadling]

Does it change the way it handles/jumps not using the X6 wing??

[GRIFF55]

very nice car there wonderflupke:thumbsup:

[caneye]

The wing is a JConcepts 7" on Losi XXX wing mount.

hi .. was it a direct fit? did u had to realign the screws?
do u have the part number for this? cheers.

[Lee]

I think the losi wing mounts are a direct fit, i'm sure dan uses them with the Asarashi wing. :thumbsup:

[super__dan]

Indeed, the holes in the tower are a direct fit for Losi mounts.

I'm going to be varying between the new squared shell and the Azarashi one when I can work out how much difference there is. Certainly with the stock shell and wing (cut low guerney) there is more rear bias in the car, and I am captain understeer as we all know ;)

[Wonderflupke]

hi .. was it a direct fit? did u had to realign the screws?
do u have the part number for this? cheers.

Yes, no changes to fit them, they fit perfectly, I think X-factory use the XX-4/XXX-4/XXX/XXX-BK2/XXX-CR wing mount in the beginning of the X-6 project, on the prototype (Paul can confirm this). I use the XXX models # LOSA-4222 who don't have the second hole.

[Wonderflupke]

Does it change the way it handles/jumps not using the X6 wing??
I don't know if it change a lot, I never use the original X-6 wing. I think the JComcepts 7" give probably less traction on rear but the access to the shock's screws is easier.

Here is my X6.....

[Lee]

I don't know if it change a lot, I never use the original X-6 wing. I think the JComcepts 7" give probably less traction on rear but the access to the shock's screws is easier.

I have found using a standard shape wing to give a bit more high speed steering, especially on a low grip track like worksop, i found that on a sweeper the x6 wing would make the front end wash out at times. It's just another tuning option.

I would like to add i wasn't running any extra weight at all in the original 4 gear car and using a 3200 lipo.

Yep, early prototyping was done with the Losi mounts. Check it out: http://www.2wdrc.com/News/05-21-2006.htm

Man we've come a long way!

I've found that the standard X - 6 wing really helps lock in the rear end for me, especially coming out of corners. Combined with the JConcepts front wing my car jumps really well.... until it gets windy. Running outdoors over larger jumps the wind just grabs that big rear wing and has its way with it. At that point I usually take the front wing off, put on the losi mounts and go with a JConcepts "B4" wing (which one varies depending mostly on what's in my box).

I agree it's not as slippy as polished floor, but early doors when its cold and dusty there is a lot less grip :)

[Lee]

This is something that i have been playing about with recently, i have tried the cells in the normal layout and like this back to back and to me the car feels nicer like this. I feel it makes the car more predictable over bumps and slightly more mid corner steering.

Looks good Lee, Id like to try this approach...

[usafaircrew]

I know the battery is sittting closer to the center, but with it sitting that high does it make the car roll more?

No not at all, it was something that concerned me until I tried it, if anything the car rolls a lot less.:thumbsup:

I know they cost alot..... i have recently bought a new shell for my trf 501x... that was a bit pricey.

Hello! Here is first of a kind in Finland and it's mine :D More to follow I'm sure!

This is great car and after reading this forum and all the tips what can be done with the setup I believe I will be getting more out of it.

Finally got the X5 together. Looking forward to a shake down run this weekend.

[Ashley]

:drool: looks nice

shame its going to get dirty

that squared shell is more uglyier than the non squaired

[Lee]

I'm sure you are aware that the shell was designed with performance in mind rather than aesthetics, plus things that are winning become more appealing. Think of all the cars/bikes over the years that looked ugly at first sight but as it performs well the looks go out the window and you see a different appeal.

Wayne Rooney is another example.

[caneye]

cracked the rear control arm of the x6^2 :blush:

does anyone know if the control arm from the original x6 will fit right in without any issues?

[jayst]

they are different m8

[blue_pinky]

Rear suspension arms on the x6^2 are symmetrical and can be used on either side, whereas original x6 ones are handed and therefore different in geometry, rear end was subtly changed between the 2 versions.

[Body Paint]

CANEYE: You need X-6^2 wishbones, as said above, old ones will fit but will have wrong geometry.

thanks guys!

[bronco]

Thanks Jono. I'm not much of a painter so this suits me really well. Normally my bodies are completely white and wanted something else.

I'm still looking for a simple but unique design (and I don't like flames) that I can do myself.

[jono83]

how did you get that effect

[thaking]

My ride:)

[bronco]

Jono,

Just take some rapping foil (like the one used in the kitchen for preserving food or even better the plastic foil for wrapping flowers - this is stiffer), sqeeze it to a little ball (not to tight) dip it in paint of your choice and apply it by tapping the body.

If your done just spray white behind it (or something else).

[Wonderflupke]

Very nice paint!!!

[hottuna]

Yet another XFactory family member is born :D

My X6 is finally ready. Build quality is very good. There are some solutions to get used to. I'm not a big fan of the battery strap. We have to charge in Lipo bags, and there's no space for thumb screws in the front. A friend of mine who also will get an X6 makes body shells, i'm sure he will make one for these too, with more space around the battery.
All in all i'm impressed, tomorrow it's maiden drive!

[usafaircrew]

I think those are Losi Taper Pins. I tend to run blockheads on high bite tracks. If the raacing line is dirt free the taper pin is great. If the track is high bite with a light amount of dust than the blockhead is the way to go. To me the blockheads seem to get thru that little bit of dust better than the taper pin.

[hottuna]

hottuna - are those 4wd blockheads in the front? what sort of surface do u race on? how do u like them in the front?
Yes, it's cut and glued front blockheads. I used them on the nordic championship, 100% astro. But that was with my B4.I've only had one test ride with my X6, i still have to test what works best on our local grass track.

[ScottyP]

Yes Chazz, that's HRH! The breakage was a result of a brush with the wall over the back triple. Drifted a little bit too wide!

I should have some more pics soon from Leigh, including some really good shots of Brian's cars in action.

why ae shocks?

[ScottyP]

why ae shocks?

Economics really. I had AE shocks on both my buggy and truck, so I could either buy two sets of Losi shocks, or one set of AE shocks for the X5! Much easier to have the same brand of shocks on all three cars.

Personally, I like the AE shocks, but I always build them with Yokomo caps so they are easy to bleed.

Scotty

Which is what have been telling X6 owners over here for ages now. You need to just run one make or the other, but which one is your preferance.

[jono83]

I only asked because the xx4 you converted would of came with losi shocks

[Rocking Donkey]

is there an easy way to use Losi springs on Associated shocks? Do I just need a washer at the top of the shock to hold them in place? Just wondering as I have loads of Losi springs and not many associated and think that its the slightly chunkier Losi springs that are better than Associated and not the whole shock.

Just my opinion

Ben

Oh, and I see quite a few Losi being sold shockless at the moment as the shocks are more valuable on their own.

[Mike Hudson]

You'll need losi spring cups for the bottom and trinity associated shock collars or washers for the top

[super__dan]

Pics don't seem to work mate

Oh and we kind of drifted away from one ways this year. On a tight, technical track (that most of the national ones were) the diff was at least as fast as a one way and MUCH easier to drive. However on a fast flowing track , particularly with power on corners, the one way might well be faster

Thanks for the advice. I ran on our track with both diffs yesterday and the car seemed well suited for our small-medium technical track. Perhaps a touch more exit steering would have been ideal but I have the optional steering link I haven't installed - heard it should help there.

The pics should be up now... my hosting seems to be a tad unstable this week. :(

About 6 months ago after 18 years i have found the way back to RC.

Initially back whith 1/10th pan car as thats where it al ended.
Soon couple off 1/12th where added.

After buying a new transmitter got in to a chat with local shop owner abbout the good old days :lol:.
As they where running off road i told him i would check it out with my old TRX-1. But reconsiderd letting him rest enjoying his pension.

So becausse shop owner let me have a snif at his X-6 i went looking for a B4 donnor.
Didnt found 1 quick enough to my likings so got a new kit together with a Square.

Kit with some topping :):

Be warned!!!

Was a great car too, comming of the RC10 gold/black(we) tubs.
Especialy on real dirt track races he rised above them all :thumbsup:.
But hard to setup for indoor carpet races, the Asso was more al-round to give it a name.

Not seen too many action so still in pretty decent shape, thats why i didnt want to trash it at my first go after 18years :bored:.

Will post some pics in vintage area in following days if you like.
