Just ordered X-6

[sime46]

I've seen the light. What a car. Normally I shy away from conversions and the like, but I tried my mates X-6 a week or 3 ago and you just cant deny the facts. It was unbeleivable. I have never driven anything that comes close. So thats it. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow and then I'll be in build mode. Anything I should watch out for? Any tips or hints would be gratefully received. I have losi shocks, e-speed camber thingys and rayspeed hubs and k-factory tower on back order. Also its coming with cr axles? Was told to get them. Thanks in advance.

Your bases sound covered, one thing though it's a personal preference. Use the stock B4 (FT ideally) servo mounts and drill the chassis. You can mount the servo a few mm further back which means you won't have to dremel any of the front area where some servos catch.

Also if you have the plastic (not E Speed) motor plate clamp, put nuts on the other side of the screws so you can do it up nice and tight and not have to worry about stripping the plastic.

Build directly with Ellis latest setup!

or simply use a low profile servo

[super__dan]

Wouldn't you still have to use B4 posts and mount further back to avoid dremelling as the front profile I've assumed is essentially the same as any KO or similair servo?

No, direct fit. See tech section on www.2wdrc.com

it's in the tech section if anyone needs it

OH right, nice one. Personally I still prefer the B4 FT mounts if you have them already, and they are blue

Don't forget the Shimz.
Terrific vfm - check Glenn out at Chequered Flag Racing and he'll sort you out.

Also whilst I'm shamelessly plugging stuff - check out this month's Racer mag (and next month's - heh heh heh)
All the beanz are spilled...

Dan's right though - Big E's set up is awesome - you won't go far wrong.

[sime46]

Shimz ordered too. Thanks for the support chaps. Cant wait to run this bad boy.

Big thanks to DMS Racing. I only ordered it bout 1.30 yesterday and it was here before 8 this morning. That's service. I'm going to be keeping thier number on speed dial. Thanks again chaps. My s/h b4 hasn't even come yet.

Glad it arrived nice and quick for you, thanks for the business!!

[sime46]

No worries mate. Please let me know when the back order bits arrive. Thanks again.

[Darren Boyle]

Some bits turned up late last night from a delivery we had in person from the sales rep, these left for you this morning.

[sime46]

Excellent. Thanks very much.
