x-6 questions
 

hi got myself a b4ft and a set of losi shocks is anything else essential apart from the obvious x-6 conversion kit ?

I would reccomend the losi BK2 rear stub axles if you can get hold of a pair. They provide more droop on the rear end. I would also reccomend the e-speed hangers and motor mount. :thumbsup: Ill let the team lads clean it up :thumbsup:

Ben

is there a alternative to the bk2 axles as there like rocking horse poo atm lol i was planning on getting the e-speed parts aswell

X-Factory are now having them made.

I'm sure Darren at DMS will be getting some in soon, probably best to ask him when.

Edit: Tom beat me to it :yawn:

:thumbsup:thanks guys:thumbsup:

The axels are on Dms site now.:thumbsup:

They are indeed already in stock, part numebr is XF5660 and they are only £12.99 per pair which is cheaper than the old Losi ones too........ still made by MIP for us though.

Dont mean to hijack the thread but...Do you have any E speed motor plate braces mate and if so how much?

Yes they are in stock, price is £12.49 as per our website.

You NEED a 78 or smaller spur else the dogbone end can catch the spur if rotating and the car is upside down.

There are new smaller b4 spurs coming out on redrc website, will these be good for gearing on the x6?? Or is the 78 fine for BL power??

With a 78 spur you will be able to gear the X-6 fine. But with a 76 AND a smaller pinion (to get the right ratio) the motor is likely to press into the gearbox before it mesh's properly. Although if you are running a low wind due to Lipo - like Dan does, 7.5, 8.5 etc, you may be able to get away with the smaller spurs as you will be running larger pinions and the motor won't clash with the gearbox..

Whereas on a B4, the smaller spurs mean the motor is not hanging as far out the back, especially when running lower winds like 7.5, 8.5 etc.

I'd stick in the 76 to 78 range.

In the old days ;) with brushed motors and nimh you needed small pinion, personally now I never ever run anything faster than a 6.5 so never on much smaller than a 22 pinion which fits easily. Think I can get 19/78 on mine.

Since the last meeting I have a 76 on in fact it's currently got 23*76 on a 7.5 motor if I'm not mistaken.
