X Factory in 2009!

[ATOWN RACEWAY13]

HEY JEREMY ARE YOU STILL RUNNING THE SETUP IN THE X60 KIT AND DID YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES SINCE

[RyyRyy]

Anyone want to buy a new X-6?

[Slokomo]

how much?

[RyyRyy]

freshly converted from my b4... I never actually ran it with the conversion due to not having time... Has brand new: diff, tranny bearings, front shock tower... along with a solid orange body and a kick ass custom painted Kiefer Designs body... PM me for more info

[Jeremy Felles]

ATown- The layout at OCRC has changed from a track with sweeping turns to more of a point and shoot 180 style track. I'm now running the ballstud on the outer hole of the rear bulkhead. I also went back up to 35wt in the rear with green springs and moved the front shocks to the outside hole on the A-arm. This locked the truck in and allowed me to push it harder through switchbacks as it squares up much faster. It usually takes 2-3 changes each layout to keep it running like a slot car, but the truck never fails.

If you're looking for changes regarding specific handling characteristics let me know and we'll bounce ideas off eachother.

Fez, were gonna miss ya this weekend. sorry u cant come to ohio to play. cya, kevin

[Jeremy Felles]

Kstarr- I'm going to miss you guys too. I hope the race turns out to be a great success.

Also, I've spent the last two days running my X6 buggy into the ground with great success. Below is the setup that I've been running at OCRC.

*Shocks are Associated

Front:

Spring: Brown

Oil: 35wt

Piston: #1

Limiting: .090 (Although I unscrewed the shock bottoms 2.5 turns)

Shock Position: Middle hole in tower, Inside Hole in arm

*Ackerman Position: Back hole (not stock)

*Caster Block: 20deg (AE option part)

*Axles/steering knuckles: Inline (AE option part) *****These three parts are crucial!!!!

Axle Height: Bottom

Camber location: Outside on bulkhead/Outside on hub (aka closer to the wheel)

Camber ballstud washers: None

Camber: -1deg

Toe: 1deg toe in

Note: 1oz tucked/stacked/jammer under front tower (glue it in, but be sure the steering rack clears it.

X6 Setup Con't

Rear: *Shocks are still Associated

Spring: AE Green *Cut out one coil...You will need the B44 offset shock bottoms (they're taller) to achieve the correct ride height

Oil: 30wt

Piston: #1

Limiting: None (Shock bottoms unscrewed 1 turn)

Shock Location: Next to inside in Tower/Far outside on arm

Camber Location: Inside on bulkhead (hole furthest towards the center)/ Inside hole on hub (hole that gives the shortest link

Camber Ballstuds: raise them .060

Camber: -1deg

Arm Spacing: Forward

Hub Spacing: Center

Rear Block: 3deg

Wing: Stock (Although cut lower than the lowest "cut line")

Tranny Height: no washers under tranny

Antisquat: No additional washers

Motor: Banzai/Speedpassion 8.5 turn brushless

Gearing: 22/81


I would recommend this as a good starting point on any dirt track with medium bite or better. We run Proline M3 8175 front tires and M3 Holeshot rears with Buggy grip on a smooth medium to "high medium" bite surface.

If you have any questions ask away, or shoot me a pm.
