Default Hello, new in the x6 squared, new in the family

Hello to all from Portugal ...

I just assembled today my x-6 squared and I love the car. Everything was perfect in the assembly, the instructions were very well explained and everything hit right at first attempt. The only thing that was not too good were the window mask to the body to cover the windows of the same, but these are details.

As It said in the instructions, I am now part of the family heheheh

I mounted the car with the standard setup, and only when i go to the track I will decide where to begin to change to reach the ideal setup for me ...

Before going to the track I'm thinking about buying some spares and hop ups such as:

rear tower, rear braces, aluminum bar toe in Vampire Rancing degree 3 and 4, Long Rear MIP CVD axles and Battery Quick Change kit. I need something else for now? what you guys advise?

I apologize for the bad English and the quality of photos ... were taken after the assembly of the 6 x-squared (during the day)

Cheers

I don't know what kind of track you are running on but most of the UK guys use the Ellis Stafford Camber link extenders. Other than that you seem to have all the right spares. Your english was just fine. Welcome to the family.

I did a search yesterday, did not find what I wanted, threads run on a bit, but I am sure when I was setting up our X6 I found posts with a distance front/rear to balance the car on, we moved the weight to get this and the car seems good.

Will pop a battery (what battery makes a difference) in and balance ours later and see where it falls, of course if any one has this info, pop it on here for Alex

Looks like your servo is mounted in the rear mounting holes?? I think all the setups I've seen use the front holes.

You need to search the setup posts, there is a ratio of 35/65 weight between front and rear that was liked on the X6 and much the same on the X6sq.

I am sure someone will be able to give total weight for the car and a point along the chassis to balance on. hope thats helpful.

What tires and track surface are you expecting.
