Part at nats
 
Will anyone be taking X-factory spares at the nats?
I've just noticed, after stripping the X6 down to fit the new gearbox that the rear wishbone is broken on the inner pivot hole.

IF I go, I will need a new one. Or will the B4 ones fit with a bit of work?

B4 will fit but they need to be flipped and drilled to put the suspension on the front of the wishbone again.

You will see what i mean if you do it:thumbsup:

The B4 wishbones are 5mm longer and the car will be wider. To make the car work with B4 wishbones you will need to flip them and use Losi hubs, it isn't worth it IMHO.

I have spare wishbones, you can lend one and replace it so you'll never be stuck.

A little birdy told me that a certain great shop who attends the nationals will be stocking X-factory parts very soon... :thumbsup:.... DC Racing...

Also if anyone can't get parts at the track for whatever reason, the 4 of us team boys will always help out on a replace it at the next meeting deal.

So if you get stuck Dan, Chris,Tom or myself will help out with any X Factory parts.

We very much suggest you do NOT use a B4 arm.

To use the B4 arm you must make up a spacer because the inner pivot of the arm is not wide enough. We tried to do this during prototyping and bent the hinge pin every time, often on the first lap. This is really the only reason why we make our own arms.

Ok Cheers dudes,
I may not end up going due to the missus being in hospital again. But if she's out for the weekend then I'll be going.

If I do I'll hunt one of you down.:p

Cheers
