I should be there next weekend. The scary part is if I had brakes I might have had something for Robert in the main. My car was good for low 19s on treads with breaks without brakes 20.0 was all I could muster. I hope to have a new motor for this weekend. I want to have jimmy order me a new orion because to me the feel of the orions is just better.

Just to let you guys know I got this problem solved, I tried sevaral different gearing setups and went back to the 81 tooth spur and 20 tooth pinion and mounted a small novak fan above the motor and went from 200 degrees to about 145 degrees so the fan did wonders.

Fan
Could you share a pic of how you mounted the fan. I have the new four gear and it has two "mystery" holes in the plate that I understand will be for a fan mount. I thought maybe your set up might help to see how it might work. Thanks.

What I did was use a thin piece of aluminum and bent and cut it until I got what I wanted, I also drilled and taped one new hole in the motor plate, I hope you can see what I did by the pictures.

Pics
Thanks for the excellent pics. This gives me food for thought for what I want to do. I am new to the X Factory family and appreciate the help.

Good News
Glad to hear you like the car. I am running the 4 gear tranny, new conversion kit, and Losi shocks front and rear. I used Paul's setup for the 4 gear and am anxious to try it out.

GRRRRRR!!! I had like 50 pictures of BK's X6 and I can only open 5 of them DAMMIT! I can't for the life of me get the rest of them to open up...(insert choice word here) Futher Mucker!
Anyway, here's the 5 I could open...
to describe it in words:
-Xray captured ball ends throughout
-One-Off Carbon Fiber Front/Rear Shock towers
-One-Off Carbon Fiber Motor Plate
-One-Off Carbon Fiber Battery Strap
-Lunsford quick change shock mounts used as battery strap mounting posts
-Losi CR rear hubs
-Xray TC 64 Pitch gears
-Chassis has a hole milled in the side that the very tip of the on/off switch pokes out through so you just barely lift up the body and the switch is right there on the side of the chassis
-Orion 3200 Lipo mounted sideways in chassis and never comes out...ever
-Battery slots in bottom of chassis are filled with solder...yes solder, he found that solder weighs more than lead so he is dripped solder into an extra chassis as a mold and uses those as chassis weights.
-All tierods, shocks, drivelines were basically shorted out in some fancy anodizing method that turned all those parts to a gunmetal color
-Capacitors, wires, OnOff switch, PT, all blacked out with black rubber shrink wrap
That's all I can remember off the top of my head, his pit was by far the cleanest I've ever seen and remained the cleanest throughout the week.
