hmmm - surely the point is that you shouldn't have to....and its quicker to fit D4 ones that are moulded correctly but what do i know

[SHY]

Well... Firstly I'm surprised this is still (?) the case even for the X-6 squared, after hearing some people claiming it's the best quality parts you can get Or what Darren?

Can you still fit the original wing with the D4 mounts then? If so I agree with you.

I like the fact that the X-6 mounts are so wide, makes the wing very stable!

(You don't need to modify the carbon tower, just file down on the mounts and add screws. That's all)

Still 1/2 meter snow on our track btw...

LOL I was waiting for that I did say our "new" parts, the wing mounts are an old bit....

Defo agree, that is the main benefit of them, they are pig ugly in shape I am first to admit, but nowhere near as bad as some people make them sound in fit

Only 1/2 metre!!! Just a little sprinkling out there isnt it??

As I have said already SHY's excellent little tip is the way to resolve any issue, it is how most of us ion the team mount the wing and it is very quick and simple to do

To be honest, no single car out on the market today is perfect in every way, same for ours, if the wing mount was our biggest and only problem I would be pretty satisfied with that myself, and lets be fair, the rest of it isnt too shabby....

eeeuh, no....
except if he writes VERY slow.

Was discussing your mod with some friends yesterday and we concluded it was to much work.
Just put some BIG lexan discs under (prefer THICK lexan) and the base for the wing will be much bigger.
The screw thing is good though, might do that very soon.

Keep on writing then...

Millzy, how about a used X-6 all hopped up? Lots of them for sale on here...

I can tell you this: The B4 is great to drive, but the X-6 is very different. Much more like a 4WD + tons of steering = super fun!!! And when you try the B4 again after getting used to the X-6... you simply shelf it or sell it

All in all I think the best economical way of doing it is to sell a complete B4 and buy a complete used X-6.

Just my 5 cents

My left wing mount was also at an angle and didnt sit on the same level as the other side. I simply heated it up with a lighter untill it became slightly soft, bet it back and waited for it to cool. JOB DONE.............

If you have a problem like that, contact the shop you bought it from, they should not be like that.

the standard wing mounts on the X6 are pants, all the guys at my club (including myself) have had uneven ones that are just no good.

We all now use the Losi wing mounts as they bolt straight into the existing holes.

Hope this helps!!!

these do indeed fit but also make it practically impossible to use the x6 rear wing,and we have tried it the x6 wing makes a huge difference.

Since I've had the car I've always run a flat rear wing as I didn't like the look of the original X6 one so I do not know the handling differences between the 2 types of rear wings... what are the differences??? what benefits do the original X6 wing give you???

Thanks, Jon!

[bigred5765]

more rear grip, more stability at high speed, better through the air while jumping, just better all round really we did try the edit and losi wings

[Wacker 2]

Although, I should also make you aware that I run a different rear wing as these losi ones will be no good for the X6 wing due to the big dip in the middle of it. I tend to run an Edit rear wing which is straight from left to right or a JConcept wing which has a slight dip in the centre but no where near as big.

Just thought I'd add that
