A bit of demel action I think it is neat anyway, just need black servo and speedo wires.

You could always use some black heat shrink on those wires

Looks great Man. I need to do that to mine!

Here is how I have done mine.

I didn't go to the lengths of puting th emotor wires throught he chassis but all the receiver wires are

Also filled in the cell slots so as not to get dirt in the car.

what did you use to fill the slots in and what posts are they for the x6 cell holder?

Great solutions as always!

Can you explain how you did it?

X-6:
Std. brace or custom? Posts from?
What's in front of the ESC? Heatshrunk wires?
Do you have lead weights under the battery? Any thoughts/tests on this? (I see the S2 drivers put lead in the front also)

X-5:
How do you secure the carbon brace in the rear?

Anything pre-made in the pipeline from X-Factory (more E-Speed parts maybe?)

Is that all lead under the speedo making it sit that high?!

The brace on Ellis X6 is a hand made affair, we have one in the offering at present which will work in a similair method except it may possibly use thumb screws similiar to those used by Associated on the B44.

The black stuff in font of his speedo in the 2wd is heatshrunk units of lead weight.

I am not sure if Ellis runs extra lead under the ESC or LIPO, he will need to confirm that

On the X5 the brace is secured on the inner side with a screw passing through the sway bar mount on the rear diff cover and threading down into the carbon strap. Ellis has drawn up and designed the strap and is currently testing the prototype to see if any changes need to made. This may become an E-Speed part or we may possibly decide to produce it under the DMS X-Partz range (which is all being added to the X-Factory site this weekend)
