X-5 Front brace

[Akky]

Hi all, just got myself an x5, however upon building i have found that i dont have a front brace to fit onto the bulk head. Is actually needed to get the x5 up and running?

[cabbynate]

No but it helps a lot in keeping the bulkhead from breaking. You can add it later and also get the # OP 031 Screw Set, Caster Block set up as well seen here: http://www.xfactoryrc.com/storexfactory.htm. These parts make the front end much stronger.....

Yeah, it won't effect performance, but it is defo better to have to increase the strngth of the front end.

i have now came across problem with the rear brace, i cant get it to stay on, once i have tightened everythink up, it still falls off, any ideas?

take a piece of motor wire, cut a piece of the shrink off and put over the end of the hinge pin keeps the rear brace on and is a nice and easy fix

use originial xxx rear hinge pins, these have e clipped ends instead, like £2 a pair or something
