X-6 / x-6 squared How many snapped chassis's ??

[Colinevan]

Hello there, before i make the plunge and go x6 route I am just wondering how many people have snapped there chassis's?

Or even with the older car, how many people have done a nose cone in?

Is it quite rare?

Thanks

Col.

I've ran a 4 gear and now own a squared and never had any probs with either. Fantastic car!

we have never broke a nose cone, but Matty did manage to snap the front of his x6 squared, which at the minuet is still a mystery,

(chassis is in the post Monday boss sorry i forgot),

I did wonder where it was......

As distributor now for some time and ealing with all the X-Facory affairs here in the UK, I can confiorm that we have a total of 5 chassis returned TOTAL between the X6 and the X6 Squared (out of hundreds sold)

Of these, two were original X6 and three were X6 Squared and to keep it simple shall we just say that although one or two were "warranty" type issues or quality related (and swapped of course) the majority had suffered "some abuse" shall we say either on the track or with the dremel......

Could it have anything to do with people using the thick carbon fibre shocktowers? At the EIR and National in Charleroi, only 2 people broke their noses (not because of a hard crash), and both where using such a (K-Factory) shocktower. This one doesn't flex, which keeps the impact of the crash completely into the chassis, causing the break. Cars were an X-6 and S2.

The only time i have heard of anyone breaking the squared chassis was when for whatever reason they would not run the brace at the front of the chassis, this obviously puts all the stress onto the bottom of the chassis.

Personally i have never broken a nose cone or a chassis in 2 1/2 years

I got the 4 gear X6, and haven't had it long to be fair, but I regularly do a triple somersault with a half pike down the back straight, and I am very happy with the cars durability.
