Default Just got my X6 Sq

Hey fellas,

I just got my X6 Sq that I had been waiting on for quite a while (USPS being very slow), and I gotta say it's a great kit.

I was considering selling it and pre-ordering the new DEX210 but figured I would atleast try it out and am glad I did.

Just had my first race meet with it on sunday and it went pretty good, we have only been going at it since March and I have a lot to improve on but I can tell already that it is a great kit.

I race on a mixed surface of hard/dusty rock, gravel, loamy dirt and a whole lotta bumps and ruts/potholes (no jumps, well there is one, on the main straight but it doesn't get used).
So it's safe to say that traction levels are all over the place.

And I have to say, I do not understand why people claim that mid motor cars are useless on low bite surfaces.
I have plenty of grip and a lot of steering, the only thing it could need more of is a little side bite as when I back off and turn the rear wants to step out nearly all the time.
I could do with a little more mid corner/on power steering aswell but it's manageable.

I reckon if I was running mod motor, I would easily be able to wheelie down the straight.
