Default x6 spares

Hi there i was wondering where is the best place to get spares for a X6 as i am thinking of getting the conversion for my B4 just to see how well it handles and drives.

They are only available from lesro models in the uk or xfactory over the pond, no where else. I don't see why you wuld want to get an X6 you are already really good with your B4 i'd stick with it if i was you

Ye id stick with B4 and get to more races this year, also i think stockton can get x-factory stuff in, i saw thay had some x-6 shells and stuff in, but that maybe because of it being Jconcepts.

the x6 drives allot better for some people,
and is essayer to drive,especialy with the new 4 cog gearbox
just because the world champion drives a b4 doesn't automatically make it the best 2wd

Lesro models sell the conversion kits in the UK. If you order from USA the order usually justs gets passed on to Lesro to take care of, so you may aswell save time and just ring Lesro.

I know what Mike is saying, if your currently going well, why change? but don't be suprised when the X-6 exceeds your expectations, it really is great to drive.

Well i actuall have two B4's. And what i was gonig to do was, keep the one that is going well and just convert the other one to try and see how it goes. And then if i find that i can drive it faster then i will just stick with it.

Thats a good idea.

Need any setup tips for it, then PM me. If you are using AE shocks then Carl Latham may be best man to help - I run Losi shocks.
