x60 truck - Page 4

If there is any X-Factory guys reading this, I am curious, is the X-60 going to have battery holes or is the chassis going to be solid?

I will definatley be picking up a conversion!

The chassis will have a solid bottom to help keep the race track out, but there are thinner "cell slot" areas for NiMh cells to sit down in.

Thanks for your confidence; we're pretty excited about the way this kit has come together and the performance the trucks have exhibited so far!

I have my T4 freshly disassembled waiting on the X60!

For those of you that have the X-60 prototype's, What electronics are you running? Namely what Motor's and esc's Do you run? I want to get 2, one for my racer mamba 4600 setup, and one for my High voltage low kv setup (1200kv/5s lipo) How has the tranny held up to the power of you're setup's

The protos have been tested with quite a number of motor combinations from 17.5 stock to many of the current mod motors sizes from Novak and Trinity. The ESCs have been mostly Novak and LRP. The trannys have held up fine. Like anything, the more power you throw at them, the quicker they will wear out.

Any idea who's making the body?

Thanks for the answer, on the systems you are using. The main reason for using higher voltage is to cut amp load and in effect increace runtime. My plan is to run a 1200kv motor and 5s 2500mah lipo, the lipo is about the same weight as a 2s 5000 lipo, but the amp load is significantly reduced because of the torque being built out of voltage over amperage. My main concern was for the 4th gear and if there was a problem with durability, if you have no problems, i should be fine.

once again, thanks

Check out the battery strap

And the body is looking great! 100% different than everything else out there, but still 100% kick-ass truck

I can't wait to get mine painted!

SpeedyDad · 10-21-2008, 06:17 PM

Yeah, can't wait to get mine to paint it. For those out in the LA area, you might be able to get a sneak peak at the Reedy truck race this weekend. There will be three of the new production prototypes there and possibly one will have the new body.

One more question, I currently have a team edition T4. I know the hot setup on the T4's, though I haven't tryed it, is using the GT2 front bulk/arms and towers, due to a slight change in geomentry and slightly better durability. Have any of you tryed this?
