Original x6 to x6 Cube upgrade

[welshcarter2012]

SO guys after seeing Paul's Video I'm Extremly excited to see the x6 cube as many are !!!

BUT how do I go about it ?? CAN and if so How could I upgrade my original x6 ??? Would it b cheaper to buy a squared rolling chassis and convert to a cubed

Cheers guys

Looking at pics and videos it should be easier to convert original x6 to x6 cubed as it uses original front which is all good as I have 2 to change( price dependent of corse )

Is your original X6 a 3 gear or 4 gear version?

Assuming it is 4 gear, all you will need will be the Cubed "Ugrade Kit" (not the more expensive "Conversion" kit) and you will need the X6 Squared rear wishbones (XF3012) and hinge bushes (XF6142)and possibly some servo mounts too otherwise you are good to go......

Hi Darren .....

I was hoping u would reply :-) ...... I can only assume its the older 3 gear version , I'm not 100% sure thou as I brought the car 2nd hand a while ago .
Is there an easy way for a newbie like me to tell ??

Thanks for everything
Craig

Looking from the front, which side is the slipper nut? If its on the right, you have the 4 gear tranny, on the left, the 3 gear.

Also if you simply look at the gearbox case it has circular shapes around the gears that it houses, the largest being at the bottom which is the diff then smaller ones a the top for the idler (or idlers x 2 in a 4 gear) and of course the top shaft gear, juts count if you have 3 or 4.

Or alternatively if you are still unsure, remove and open up the gearbox and count'em, 3 or 4?

If you do have a 3 gear, additionally to the list above you will need the 4 gear transmission case (XF5001), another idler gear shaft (XF5201), a pair of idler gear bearings (XF6202) and an Associated B4 idler gear (AS9360), a 4 gear motor plate of your choice - you have a large selection to choose from depending on your taste - standard kit alloy version (XF1232), or optional ones such as X-Factory Real Men Wear Black, black version (XF1233), E-Speed blue milled version (ES009), DDP blue milled version (DDP024), DMS Partz carbon fibre version (DMS133) or even the Optimized RC ones in red or blue (OP002 or OP004)

Which one are compatible with the gear cover? Is the motor plate from the B4 conversion kit compatible?

By the way thanks for your pics Darren, they look very good.
