I think it was a good display from the XFactory cars

In round 1 four of the top 5 cars in 2wd were X6's, mine was actually run as it came off from the F2's at east trax :thumbsup:, I didnt change a thing all day either apart from ride height. (thanks Dan) ;)

I was a bit annoyed at myself for not making the A but thats racing, i am going to invest in some new tyres for the next event and even fit the E speed hangers :lol:

One thing i have noticed though over the last few months when i have been using borrowed cars is that you can go quick with a b4 on a single lap if it is working for you but when i went back to an X6 it just felt so much more planted and easier to drive. :thumbsup:

Roll on '09

2 x A team drivers, 7 x A finalists, not bad at all.

I wonder how many of the un-named team were there incognito?

X-factory had the joint highest number of A finalists.

X-Factory x 7
Schumacher x 7
AE x 3
Kyosho x 1
Losi x 1
J concepts x 1

Mine was good too, same as lee - straight from the F345's, lacked a bit of steering though, will be running a rear roll bar and probably softer blue front springs next time.. apart from that its pretty much ellis's oswestry setup.

Haha yeh, i think the porsche style pendulum effect on the B4 defo helped in that race control hairpin section especially ..

maybe Xfactory could do a Big E edition with a fixed setup on it so everyone could be fast until ellis finds an even faster setup :thumbsup:

that would be ace, only 1 options for shock locations, fixed metal camber links and steerings rods, sealed shocks, fixed on body with only external terminal to charger it up again :thumbsup:

to be honest, with LiPo and brushless - that might work :woot:

the only thing that would be user serviceable would be tires, and they would come pre-mounted so they could not put the wrong inserts in them :P

Ellis is just waiting for Chazz to wake up before he puts the idea to him.

It would be the first competitive RTR :lol:

Trust me, the idea of a Big E Championship Edition has occurred to us. Right now it's hung up on a number of issues, including but not limited to moving 20 miles into a new larger facility and getting the 60 out, two very big projects going on at the same time!
