Default What's needed for conversion?

I've got a B4 and am thinking about gong Mid Motor. Would the XFK019 kit contain everything I need? i.e. I don't need a Losi as well

Would my AE rear wheels be OK?

Nope, no losi needed...just the kit and the B4

Some poeple like a few of the options depending on the sort of tracks you run on, but they are just options...if a little addictive!!!

Thanks for the info.
Did you convert a B4? If so -What differences did you notice?

a few locals have done the conversion and you als need the longer cvd's otherwise you need to ha everything set to have the least amount of droop possible and have no real way of adjusting the back end, so you need the conversion and the longer cvds. the kit makes a huge differance, you now almost need one to win, its been a few months since anything else has won as the top 3 drivers all run them.

I presume you mean a mid motored car, not just an x6!

Well I've just spotted you were at our wrca regional this weekend, so yes the longer cvs axles are very handy round these parts!

Difference is massive! X6 drives more like a 4wd than a b4. With the weight being so differently placed the car pivots much more willingly, so you drive very differently to a rear motored car.

The rear mount vs mid mount motor argument will run and run. Both can win nationals in the right hands, but I think the majority would agree that mid motor on our Uk tracks is easier, so for a lot of people it's def faster! It is for me anyway
