Do people run the 4 deg toe in bar on the rear of the X-6 sq all the time or does the 3 deg one come in handy and under what surcome stances ?
Also has anybody tried 3 deg toe in block with 1 deg at the hub ?

UK wise I would agree though was convinced that at Belgium (very high grip/drive) this year 3 deg was the future as there was so much drive 4 deg worsened power on understeer.

expensive but worth it

Hey gaz,

When Will G ran my x6 we used it on a 26 on his xcelorin motor and that wasnt far from perfect, i only ran my cr2 on a 20 tooth due to the extra idler and smaller 74 tooth spur and that was easily quicker down the straight than most of the 4wd

Has anyone got some compressed/extended lengths for the shocks on an X5? I can find them for the X6 but not the X5. Just trying to see if i can make up some shocks out of Associated bits I have or wether its easier to get hold of some Losi ones, but i would rather try to get the some suitable Associated ones if possible.

Cheers once again!

I drove Dan's X-6 at EPR last weekend. He is truly a stronghold of Team Fluffy Bum!

Thanks guys,
Dan, is it correct that you don't have extra weight under the lipo?
what lipo's do you use and how heavy are they?

(I have orion 3600 and TP 4900 to use if my hongkong shizzle hasn't arrived this week)


Ellis, you don't limit your rear shocks and Dan does 3mm why is that big difference, your heavyer car?

+on your setup it states 'rear tire: mini pin' must be spike if it's a national setup I guess.


other stuff is pretty similar
(I'm trying to be well prepared, 'cause coming with Elvo and Flipside encourages me to do so )
