Default K-Factory front shock towers

For those of you searching for the K Factory shock towers for the front of the X6 (or B4 of course) we have 3 currently in stock (Craig H that does not include the one you ordered tonight mate).

We recieved a shipment of 25 from K-Factory yesterday but instead of what we all thought were towers with blue bases we have recieved all silver ones. This does not affct the performance of course but several racers wanted blue and rightly so, only blue (tarts!! LOL).

We had a total of 32 back ordered by racers (which meant that we would of been 7 short of supplying everyone) but when we saw they were a different colour we phoned (or emailed) each and every customer last night to see if they wanted silver or would prefer to wait for blue and naturally some drivers have said they would prefer to wait (9 did in fact)

This left us with four (three now since we sold one today) so anyone who needs one be quick!! Next batch of blue ones hopefully three weeks

Everyone we spoke to last night should recieve theres in the morning......

My shock mount just came through the door, already on the car

I can see now why they are popular with X-6 owners, takes that last look of a B4 away, makes it look like a X-6, insteead of a converted B4, if that makes sence

Just recieved mine this morning only problem is I won't be able to get it on my car till Monday as I'm flying out to Paris for the weekend. How rude of my girlfriend to delay me finishing my X6.

All I'll be able to think about will be building my kit when I get home. How can I possibly enjoy my trip now.

So let me get this right, you're going for a dirty weekend in Paris and all you'll be able to think about is your X-6..... I think you need to seek some profesional help

Sneak it into the bag. Give her a really good treatment. When she sleeps, do the "hug & roll away" (Kramer style)... then start building... Keep in mind that if she wakes up you're dead meat...

All RC nerds are sick one way or the other...

Dave, That's Canadian... Eh!



I'm sure I'll enjoy my nasty weekend and will be fully engaged in watching the girls of the Moulon Rouge doing their high kicks.

but there is a place in my heart for the shiny aluminum (correct spelling)bits I get to put on my car upon my return.

the milled bit is meant to go on the back,
but if you want to stick a front wing on the car put the milled bit on the front,
then the double sided will have a flat surface,
hope this helps

Sweet, thanks Stu.

As per the ball stud mount, Yes I had assumed those went on the front. That was a bit obvious. I was refering to the material that has been removed from the carbon fibre tower.

Yes Lee, the girlfriend let me take her up the Eifel Tower!!
