Looks interesting as I own an X-6 but I have a suspect that this may be an Atomic Carbon S2.

It has the X-6 tranny, but thats where the it ends.. costum chassis and B4 reararms. I think it from one of the Japanese Tamiya drivers. Untill the TRF 2wd is ready they can run pretty much whatever they want.

it has AE and Hot Bodies stickers on it - either the guy also has Tamiya stickers on and doesn't know where his loyalties lay, or it's just a bit of a home made hack job to create a cool hybrid, which is my guess?

Either way, it's a nice looking conversion and I like the narrow layout.

Looks good, looks like changing the cells could be a pain.

definately the 4gear x6 gearbox and tower.

wow! i think that looks really good! i dont like where the electrics are though, would be complicated changing the batteries i guess. got any more pics? or info. from the owner on how it drives? [maybe its on some forum somewhere??]

Ok may bad, I thought it looked a lot like the paintjob of one the Japanese TRF drivers, who were using X-6 cars at the worlds....

Here is the translation. As translated by http://tets9.freetranslation.com/


Mr./ Ms. Furuya enters it by a/the custom car this time also. A/the base be X-6. Even the movement was ultra ミッド.


So it is a moded B4 to an X6 to an Furuya special. Nice work in any language.

definatly not an S2 !

that looks like a homemade car - the rear tower, gearbox ( 4 speed ? ) and motor disc are from the latest X-6 upgrades

the rest looks home made like the main chassis, obviuosly the front end is the AE B4..

looks neat though that, very tidy job who ever has done that
