My dad spoke to Lewis yesterday, the parts will be around £20-£30 for the set.

Im not sure whats included but im guessing the two orange arms, and a new link?

I may be wrong but im sure someone will clear this up

Excellent. my guess was based upon the x11 steering upgrade which retails at about £60.

I wonder what the next parts to go orange will be?

SO you bought an X11 with the stickpack-mod allready made?
Is there any news about the new stickpack-body (without battery-slots)?

I ordered one, if available but haven't heared nothing yet.

I took it off the rear of a losi xxx 2wd, not sure of the size. I also dremelled off a couple off mm from each end to give enough adjustment.

One thing i think is important on the front with the new position is to cut the balljoint down in length as it allows more uptravel. I run a 3mm limiter in the front shocks aswell.
