Get the E-speed rear camber links and the motor plate brace thingy Losi axels I drilled the original AE ones and it works fine. For some bling the racers edge rear hubs and the K factory front shock tower. I broke the rear hinge pin block and a wing mount on saturday but changed the wing monts to xx4 ones after wich will give a bit more in a crash. Hope that helps but one of the team drivers will add to this.

Spencer's got most of it in, the must haves are, espeed alloy motor plate brkt, espeed hangers,bk2 gen 2 axles,all the rest are personnel prefs, losi shocks help all the team drivers use them so pinching a set up is essayer,but not essential

The car does seem to run better with Losi shocks so that are maybe something you want to think about if you don't have them.

Otherwise for spares really you just need a rear tower bulkhead, some spare rear pins, a spare toe in block and maybe a pair of wishbones to start with.

All the X6's ordered today and those whilst we were away were all (ALL of them, there were a LOT) despatched today successfully (along with all spares/hop ups that were ordered too (except BK2 axles and K factory towers which are still back ordered from our suppliers).

It was a mammoth task getting all of the back logged orders that had built up last week out on time today but we did manage to get it done by getting in to work two hours early, staying 3 and a bit hours late and having all the staff in for an "all hands on deck approach". You should all recieve your packets/parcels in the morning if the postie does his job.........

Mine arrived yesterday. Built it up last night. Great service DMS.
Running Losi shocks on it. K-factory/Atomic carbon front shock tower.
Just waiting for the BK2 Axles.
Didn't use the kit servo posts. Used the Alloy B4 ones instead.
ESC just about fitted in there.
Can't wait to try it.
Mark

Thanks to all at DMS Racing, Mine was one of those ordered over the weekend and it arrived yesterday. Your efforts are appreciated.

timmey121. Have a look at the 2wdrc.com site, under the tech heading are some tips - I particularly like the one for inserting the threaded inserts.
There are instructions to pre tap some holes with a 4-40 tap, just screw a 4-40 bolt in a couple of times.

fit them to the servo your going to use

set the servo on the chassis and mark through the B4 posts were you are going to drill the chassis

drill hole in chassis just big enough for the 4/40 screws

countersink the underside of the chassis
