Second thing, if you're still looking for forward traction one of the biggest things you can do is move the rear arms and hubs forward. This makes a big difference w/ the X - 6, and I'd highly recommend trying the adjustment out to get a good feeling for it.
I would agree with that Paul.

One thing which we are noticing, even on high grip tracks is that the car needs to be at least 1650g to produce the amount of grip needed to cope with Lipo/brushless power. Typically the UK team are running between 1650 and 1740g. It may also be worth you trying to get the weight balance somewhere near 65/35.

Without seeing your whole setup Jon, it is difficult to diagnose the problem.
