Jamie, sounds like you may be a tad over geared, I have no problem with my X11 7.5. What motor/gearing/battery are you running?
On a high grip track I would use the middle hole on the rear wishbone, 30 weight oil in rear, a rear roll bar and e speed hangers upwards, this oought to help. Something you need to do is run the ride height a lot higher than you would think, the X-6 doesn't grip roll like other 2wd's and the car runs much better with the driveshafts slightly above level. Throw out of your head all the conventional B4 setups and start calculating "the new math"

What anti squat do you run stan

it fully depends on the setup of other parts on the car mate. But if you run loads of anti-squat, then instead of the rear of the car squatting on acceleration, it'll want to wheelie. I'd use 4 degrees of anti-squat if the rear dampers were set really soft, and the anti-roll bar was used.
If you were to run a stiffer rear end, you might want to get rid of some of the anti-squat to balance it out again it's all about testing mate, getting the setup right for you, not copying other people's setup all the time ps - the above is only my view, it may or may not work for you. test test test

Cheers mate I'll take it on board at the moment I have just put everything together and now need to tweak for my style of driving - got so much to test and so little time

As Stan says tho, it's a preference thing, I like to be able to loosen the rear end by letting off the gas although it can be a little un-nerving as the rear end can feel like it is moving sideways with more anti squat. If you prefer the rear end to feel locked in and carry more speed through the corner less anti squat may work for you.

Mark, I'm using most of the hardware from the XXX rear roll-bar with a custom wire. Thinkness varies a little between each racer, but you want go far wrong with a selection between 0.9mm and 1.4mm. It'll mainly depend on the piano wire you can get locally.
