cheers.

In addition, the back end definately does not step out... if anything I suffered understeer. For my next race/test session I think I'm gonna try a slightly softer shock oil at the front. Once I'm in a position where I have some spare cash I think I'm gonna invest in these Brass front Bulkheads that people are using - adds alot of weight at the front nice and low.

I know some of you wanted to see my modded chassis with the electrics all wired in, so here it is:

First pic illustrates the gear out of the car...



2 seconds and 4 screws later the radio gear plumbs in nicely...



Just another angle with the radio gear in...



Hope you like,

Thanks for looking, Jon!

Excellent job.

I really like the set-up of the electrics, and the ease in which you can get it all out of the car.

All you need to do now is make the radio plate out of some nice carbon-fibre

Dear,

You take the squared to do this modification?

Because i see the normal rear arm, and all rear geométrie have change.
Ans the chassi was in 1 part?

Other part you do very good tranformation and clean preparation

The car is an X6 but I took the dremmel to my original chassis too much which resulted in a 'crackin' car - and by that I mean it snapped!!!

I was looking to replace the original chassis with just another x6 chassis but after finding out that the new and improved x6 squared 1 peice chassis was very little more money, i bought that instead!

Apart from the chassis, everything is original x6. Come to think about it, i've never broken anything else whilst racing so all is the original car I bought over a year ago.

Cheers, Jon

I've just realised that I havent plugged my servo back in before taking those photos, doh!
