I asked the question for this thread not to upset people but for my information as I want to run the old car as I have not had this car for very long and I can not afford what I will need to update to the squared. All the upgrades that have happened over the past few years on this car have mounted up to alot of money. At first you needed a B4 donnor car £150 then the convertion £130 this was a three gearbox version then you needed losi shocks on it £40 to £60. Then the four gear conversion came out to upgrade to this was £50 if you wanted to be competative the e-speed parts arrived camber link mod £16 and the motor plate support £12.50 then the losi axels £12.
So now you have spent around £400 pounds to get your car running to how you want and it is going to be discontinued unless you buy the X6 squared upgrade for another £140 so that is standing you at £550.
I think Chaz and Paul have done a fantastic job with the car and they both seem like top blokes but the above is alot of money in my book when you could have bought the fastest car on the planet (not in my hands) six years ago and it would still be just as fast with no upgrades.
I dont want to affend people or anybody related to X-factory but to dicontinue the old car has made me look elswhere for my 2wd.
