The X-6's are hard to find second hand as there are a lot of people all wanting them. If you go for a cheap B4 and then the conversion there are a few things you would have to buy, all of which add up. (both e-speed parts, new axles, losi shocks etc)
I was quite lucky as i decided to keep my B4 when i changed to the XXXCR, so it was just the conversion i needed, i then slowly upgraded the car bit by bit to what it is now...
You dont need the new axles straight away or the losi shocks or either of the espeed parts. the standard car is pretty good! (i ran mine for a few weeks without any of these bits)
The upgrades just make it easier to set up as you can follow other peoples set ups, plus they give you more options.
My dad got an X-6 off ebay a couple of weeks ago, all the hop ups, loads of spares.. £180... so i wouldnt pay more than that for a second hand one, unless its mint!
Hope that helps, Tom
