Mike, you should have driven 2mph slower - they're available now... good work Paul!! :D

hey chris, anything will sound better than mine does atmo. :D

do you know when lesro willl have them available chris?

Hey Matty,
I would confidently guess they had a batch sent to them at first oportunity, so do give them a call 01202 499354. There is a good chance you will get it next day ;) speak to Daryl, he'll know for sure.

Chris

oright cheer chris i will try tomorrow or the day after i think :)

Why dont you try and get the bits for the weekend matt?

200 post now ben :rolleyes:

nope 201 now lol

Woop Woop
 

Can't wait to get them, perfect timing as i'll have my new shell and brushless by the time its delivered :D:p Wont have to use your shell of red shards anymore matt i'll miss it :(;) hehe

With the extra gear in the transmission what is the overall gear ratio of the car going to be? Just wondering how much different the pinion will have to be from normal setup.

No difference. The drive ratio is only effected by changing the layshaft or diff gear size, the idler gear(s) have no effect on ratio - and seeing as the layshaft and diff are the same in the 4 gear as in the 3, you can gear your new X-6 gearbox the same ratio as before..

Would it be quicker ordering them from lesro or xfactory and it would be cheaper from xfactory too wouldn't it?

Thanks for that Chris. Cannot wait till they arrive over here in the UK. Shame I have not got one for the MK GP Indoor as that would give me some more grip on the polished floor sections.

Mike, you'd have to ask Chazz that question. Logistics isn't really our area ;)

Polished floor is exactly the kind of area the 4 gear makes a big difference too, the balance is much more consistant here and drifting the car out of a corner is much easier and predictable!

The shock tower means you can run the positions we've been running for a while i.e. laying the shocks down a little more. We're currently experimenting with the inner hole on the new tower and the inner hole on the wishbone (never previously used) and liking it a lot, the rear end is really 'locked in' as I think Ellis described it.

The price from X-factory + international P&P + import duty should be equal if not more than what price from Lesro + UK P&P will cost.

If you need the items for the MK event, then do ring Lesro as if they have them im sure you can get them to your door next day - car built Friday/Saturday and TQ & Win on Sunday??? ;)

I know Lesro ordered some, and they were shipped before any customers were... so they may not have them on hand yet (nobody does) but they should have them before/quicker than you would get them from us. Chazz is really the one you need to ask - send him an email - but I know he's super busy at the moment packing and shipping.

I've been very sick in bed for 8 days. Only up an hour or two at a time, using that time to get parts in bags and write instructions. Today (Dec 12) was my first full day.

The very last piece is the X - 6 Instructions Addendum which I hope to pick up from the printer tomorrow.

When it rains it pours, I guess. The furnace went out at my house this morning, so I lost about 3 hours to calling the repair guy, making arrangements, then being home (not packing orders at the shop) while repairs were made.

Got all the wholesale orders packed today -- only have to tape up the boxes and take to post office. This will be done in the AM. Lesro and all our other dealers will have a two-day lead on any other shipping.

Will work Thursday afternoon and all day Friday on the web site orders, probably shipping most on Saturday morning. Hope to be all caught up on Monday, that is, all orders through Monday morning shipped Monday afternoon.

Then I get to start at the incredible stack of mail (two piles on my desk) and then 100s of E-mails. We've even got phone orders from US customers. And guys ordering X - 5 stuph are caught up in all this... I'm sooo behind!!!

But all will be sorted soon and back to normal. We're going just as fast as we can -- we want you all to have these new parts so you can tell all your friends how dialled they are!

Hope you are feeling better soon Chaz. get it all done before christmas then you can put your feet up with a glass of eggnog. I am going to look into getting the conversion for my car soon, do you know how much more the new four gear upgrade kit will be.

The conversion kit now comes with all the new upgrades including the 4 gear transmission which is $164.99 from Xfactory:D or £130 from lesro models

Cheers Mike I thought the conversion kit would have gone up in price as there is more to it than before.:D

Nope :D Thats the great thing about it, i'll be buying another full conversion kit as i don't have any spares for my X6 and will get all the upgrades at the same time, it will be worth every penny:D ever since ive had the X6 my lap times have improved so much more

got myn and mattys order in early this mourning :D:D:D

thanks scamp! :D

:(:(:(

when did lesro say they would have them in stock ??

today hopefully (spoke to them yesterday)

we ordered from the US of A. just got off the phone to lesro a sec ago and they think they shud have them tomoro but i guess they will get em later this week maybe next.

i too ordered from the US and A :p

Our order from the usa has worked out alot cheaper will be even including p&p :D should arrive between 26th and new year :):):):p

is that what lesro told you m8 :confused:

Thats what chazz told me :D

i was told by chazz my order was forwarded to lesro is that what happened to yours :confused:

im not too sure i'll drop another email and let you know, last time I ordered from the us it was sent direct, i rang lesro a week later to ask if they were recieving it and they said they had nothing to do with it.

Surely you will get caught out with import duty and all those other taxes they give you:confused:

lil ben

only £20-30 and ill still be saving nearly £50 from the stuff on my half of the order that me and matty made

I got my atomic carbon from america and when it got to england and into the post office. I got a note from the post office saying that i needed to pay £10 just too pick it up. :mad::mad::mad:

lil ben
