X6 wingbracket upgrade...

[RS Concept]

Hi Guys,

Nothing special,,, I had plenty problems with the bolts fixing the original bracket parts,,, 6 screws breaked..enough. I know,, its matter of my fingers

So I tried the HB D4 wing mounts with the D4 wing....fits great, no modd needed.

It works, no more crashed wings and screws and looks not soo bad...(and lillbit lighter as the bigone)

Result... my X6sq still flies like a falcon....I love to jump

Sorry, not directly to this part, but from where did you get the blue aluminium things from the shocks? (I hope you know what I mean) Link would be great, too.

2 notes, you can fit longer than standard screws into the stock wingmounts, for a few more threads contact which meake it all VERY strong.

Also the blue aluminium shock collars are on upside down I think as the flange is there to centrally locate the spring so it doesn't rub on the shock body too much. Unless these ones have a flange either side.

Hi Guys..

1st...it was not the matter of lenght of the screws,,, as I wrote,,, the screws breaked itself, not pulled-teared the thread- out from the plastic or crashed the plastic.
Maybe the Asso bolts are too brittle???,,, hard to say. Good old metric works well or even better. 8.8 or 10.8 standard
My X6sq for winter indoor will have complete Metric bolts....except wheels, slipper nuts. Ill use a brand new chassi. For me the Metric bolts are easier to get....thats all

2nd..... I use TRF shocks- blue collar. And why are they upside down?... hehe, I noticed that flanches, where the springs seats, fits too exact and during damping there is some spiral torsion phenomenon,,, means after the heat I had roughly 1,5 mm diference between the spring preloading.
The upsidedown collars eliminated this....maybe Im wrong again, but for me it worx.

Perhaps you need a Box 'O Bolts. We make 'em especially for dedicated racers like you.

UUUppps,,,

I found this pic,,, maybe the Dirt had similar problem?????- collars up side down,,,....hard to say.
I think it depends what kind of springs you use...the inner diameter can be not always same- the coating decrease it and if you dont want tu rub the paint, it give sence to change the collars direction.

@Chazz...I know and still fighting between the idea and my vallet

sorry to ask again, but from where do you get the blue shock collars that RS Concept uses on his X6? Brand and part number would be nice, too.

Shocks are Tamiya ones - thus shock collars are blue.
