Where to buy a X6?

[rcluke]

as the title says, i am gonna get a B4, and after reading the oople review on the X6, i want the conversion kit.

where can i get one from, and how much for?

[bigred5765]

daryl at lesro will sort out
not sure on price

[Chrislong]

Daryl at Lesro (01202 499354), or Darren at DMS (01923 816636).

Again I am not sure on price. But one thing you can be sure of is plenty of free advice on it, and thats priceless :thumbsup:

[rcluke]

are the parts hard to obtain for it?, like if you snap a chassis etc.

[Lee]

You wont snap a chassis, but with DMS and Lesbo im sure there is plenty of service:thumbsup:

[stuhurley]

I doubt you would snap a chassis. Obviously not concrete proof, but I've only heard of 1 person breaking a chassis. (see 2wdrc.com for the post if you want to find it)

the front end is basically all B4 anyway. Apart from the nose piece. X-factory redesigned it a while back and the newer ones never seem to break. I've not broken a new one and it's been on 6 months at least

I've broken the odd rear arm, but not for a long time now either.

Rear wings are what I use the most of.

It's very rare I need to do anything but change the batteries between rounds now :thumbsup:

Lesro, DMS and any associated LHS will be able to supply replacement parts

[Spencer Mulcahy]

And you are an animal as well Stu.:p

[rcluke]

how much would anyone reccomend that i pay for a B4 factory team ?

[Lee]

Id buy a new one if i were you, at least you know its right then:thumbsup:

[stuhurley]

And you are an animal as well Stu.:p

Throttles an off and on switch isnt it?

[stuhurley]

how much would anyone reccomend that i pay for a B4 factory team ?

I was advised to buy a normal B4 (not RTR) when I got mine. Basically the front's the same. (front wheel nuts opposed to screws and alloy servo mounts are different). You only really take the gears, hubs, drive shafts and hinge pins front the back of the kit (from memory) so a full FT is possibly a waste of money. (you could always sell the spare B4 parts on I suppose)

You should also look at what shocks your going to run (losi/associated). A B4 FT would give you nice associated ones, but you can also get a full set of losi or associated ones for about £30 off ebay.

If you emailed Chazz from x-factory, he might be able to give you a full parts list (I think he made a few full kits for people)

[Chrislong]

Yeh, Stu is dead right - probably cos it was me who told him he didn't need the FT :lol:. But basically, get the stealth B4 (new) and add to it turnbuckles (Lunsford), bare in mind you may need one which is 5mm shorter if you want to use the E-speed rear camber link hangers (they are better) - so you may be best ordering the Lunsfords as specified lengths rather than pre-packed kit intended for the B4.

The other thing, is if you intend to run Losi shocks. PM me your email address and I will email to you my setup sheet. This is the setup I ran yesterday at Southport and it is one I have gone back to from when I did well last summer, it feels excellent - its a "one setup works everywhere, wet or dry" kinda setup too. :thumbsup:

are the losi shocks any better than the associated ones?

[Big E]

Personal choice really. Most people run the losi so for set ups it is maybe better.

I run them as I don't want different shocks on each car, and also because I couldn't get the ae shocks to lap as fast......hint hint :thumbsup::woot:

[rcluke]

so i need to get a b4 with no shocks.

what parts from the B4 do you need for the x6 conversion?

[dancoog]

I picked mine up while over int he states but what works is picking up the team kit a set of turnbuckles and frnt aluminum brace.

This is the kit I picked up:

http://www.m-k-racing.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_48&products_id=654

if you aren't going to use associated shocks then why spend more on a FT kit.

[Chrislong]

The B4 parts you don't need are:
Chassis
Battery brace
Rear bulkhead
rear T-brace
Rear wishbones
Rear shocktower
Rear motor plate
rear motor guard
rear gearbox
Wingmounts

And ive seen the sparks when he does this :woot:

hahahaha

[mattym0310]

I use team associated shocks, again personal preference. I would recommend a FT kit and for you to then sell the parts left over, you can pick one up for £150 odd new.

[rcluke]

you can get a FT for about £100

[Darren Boyle]

What NEW? I doubt it......

[Mike Hudson]

you can get a FT for about £100
You wont get one brand new for that money, they are around £150-60 new, second hand yes, best price for new b4ft is at dms i'd say and top service :)

[mattym0310]

Yeah although mine was around £150 when I bought mine :p

Dms do have top service, I would easily reccommend them to anyone! They are your best bet :thumbsup:

[Lee]

£90 for mine chaps, and its the 08 one :thumbsup:

[spenner]

Lee....

What are you actually selling 08 x6 or B4 ????

[Lee]

Ha ha sorry john, no i meant i only paid £90 for my b4 :lol:

[rcluke]

i dont mind buying a used chassis, it's just electronics i have had bad experience with

[B44&501xRacerEX]

RC luke I got to meet paul sinclair at reo raceway.
Yep I am B-mag. Paul is a great racer so glad I was in the right place

Exactly the X6 of course.:)

I dont think paul owns X factory if i remember rightly when i met him he was just very good friends with chazz and helped develop the X cars. Made me laugh to mike but. Welcomes to the forum.

You do know he lives in Memphis TN right.
And drove from there to Reo Raceway.
Like I said right place at the right time.
I didnt race that day with my blue sharpie B44 though...lol
I was at the money race practice day.
Paul I assume walked out with big money.
As well my cousin Curtis the nitro nut walked out with a wad of dough.

Ash you are a legend :thumbsup:. Paul and Chazz are very good friends, they are father and son.

[B44&501xRacerEX]

I'm not too fond of money races, because dirty deeds happen.
Someone crashing into someone else just to win is bogus.

Trophy races or club racing is #1.

[Paul_Sinclair]

[rcluke]

[B44&501xRacerEX]

Paul I'll always be your freind, Wes can be mad at me if he wants.
Who cares, glad to see your on here also. I belong here not rc tech.
Aaron Waldron had bad blood with me on there for some odd reason.
I dont understand it myself...beats me..go on rc tech one day and I was banned for good.:(
I told Wes on the phone yesterday that my 501x is gonna beat his pred...he laughed like
it doesnt matter, well just for the record if I cant beat 'em join 'em.:)

How much is the X-6 conversion for the T4?
I might be able to convert a HPI Firestorm to a x-6

[Lee]

Who is WES :confused:


You speak like we all know him :lol:

[B44&501xRacerEX]

Who is WES :confused:


You speak like we all know him :lol:
Paul does..paul raced him, and won!
I told wes there is now way in bloody heck you'll beat paul.
I was correct!
Paul also raced at the Winterblast in Feb against Xgod!
That was the best RC racing I have ever seen!:thumbsup:

Paul beat Xgod by a very small .25 secs

Xgod is what the name means.

I made the B-main though because my car wasnt fast enough.
I ran a 7.5R motor in my B44, everyone else had 9-10T eqivanelt brushless.
I wanted to use the 7.5R because I was not wanting to win with the B44.
I have a B44 but I like the 501x WE better.
I want to be a TRF driver, not associated.
But I still like Associated of course, it's just very hard to explain...:(
I got the B44 for club racing and the 501x for trophy races, so I can run both cars.

[Lee]

Oh Xgod, why didnt you say:lol:

Im sure its so much clearer now to everyone:thumbsup:

[stegger]

And I will not mention your real name as asked.

lol plagued with porno

[rcluke]

between the x6 and b4

-what has better performance?
-what has better steering?
-what has better grip?

[B44&501xRacerEX]

Paul will have to tell ya.:)

[Lee]

i dont think you do know who vader is:confused:

Luke:

Its hard to say what has more steering etc etc, it depends on setup/track/tyres etc.

fair enough, ill just get one and see :)

[burgie]

in my limited experience of the X6 to date, for me it is the better car between the B4 and the X6. It feels more balanced and is easier to drive.....


but remember, one car that is good for me, may not be as good for you. A lot of it is confidence in the car, and the other big chunk is driving style too. :wtf:

[Chrislong]

Vader(I know exactly who you are)



Yep, he is Lukes father!!! :lol:

Luke, you will love racing with the X-6. It handles very well indeed, you will have endless amounts of support too. I found the B4 to be a very unforgiving car to drive, it was very quick ofcause but I could not do 2 fast laps the same, it would find a bump and roll. Whereas the X-6 is extremely forgiving like a Losi is, but the X-6 has a good amount of steering too and is ultimately quicker!

[B44&501xRacerEX]
