New X-6sq Owner

[benl]

Hello chaps,
I have just bought a second hand X6sq conversion for my B4,
I was just wondering what else I would need to get it running.

I was going to use the V1 associated shocks that Iialready have but not sure on what springs would be best. I run only on astro at the moment at Torch.
I am pretty new to the whole rc thing and to be honest shockingly bad too!
So a good easy to drive setup would be great too. (Xerun 120 esc and LRP X11 8.5 motor).
Thanks In advance
Ben

Hi Ben,

It depends on what you have with your conversion already and what spec you are looking to achieve. Long wheel axles are important, as are the E-Speed rear hangers.

If you are at TORCH on sunday, I will be there at the regional, come up and say hello and we can have a look at the car for you and let you know whats what with it for you...

I'm running a 24t pinion on my 8.5 X12 with a 78 spur, you need the smaller spur or the drive shaft can hit the spur. I have E speed hangers on my dry car but not on my wet car. You need short rods to fit them.
We use grass so similar to astro and I have blue ft and silver rr springs and currently on 35 ft 25rr oil but may change that although it will get you started.
The only weight I've added to my car is a lump of brass behind the servo.
I still use a stick pack across the chassis but many cut the walls down and use saddles side by side or in a kind of T shape right up to the servo.
Just drive it for now, it's a whole different car to a B4, I love mine.

Thanks Chaps,

Cheers Darren, not sure I'll have it by sunday but will come over and say hi if I can make it as a future customer (just on breakages alone i really am that bad)!

Phil thanks for that its just what I was after I'll still be using my stick packs and as it happens those are the only springs I have anyway
i'll order up a pinion and spur
Thanks again

Raced this evening and the car was great. 8.5t was plenty. Felt no reason to change any of what I mentioned above but had to keep an eye on ride height and camber. Had it between 20 and 22mm.
It all came down to tyres by the final as the dew settled and I managed a 2nd in the B with 3rd and 4th only a couple if feet behind me. Good fun.

Well done and congrats mate,
I'm looking forwards to trying it out
