Sorry, I did forget in the above post that you will also need the slipper parts as well.
I'd say probably not on using the GT top shaft and slipper stuff. There is a lot going on with that slipper assembly. First, it has brakes that you'll need to create spacers to eliminate. Second, the spur is 32 pitch. You will be hard pressed to find pinions for that when you need them. Also, if the diameter of the spur is the same as a T4, you can't use it. The X-60 uses a slightly smaller spur gear which X Factory provides in the kit. It is also a single pad assembly. Will you be able to find parts when needed?
Your best bet is to find T4 parts as that is what the truck was created around. Anything else is untested and may or may not work.

the first night with my new x-60 and tq at marcca 28 lap in 7.06 the only changes from setup sheet was gold spring in the front to slow down the nose in sharp hair pin. the A main my servo tape came loose for gtb and the motor came unplug

Awesome!
I got the chance to drive Paul's X-60 today. Paul was nice enough to let me take an extended test drive. I ran the X-60 for about half of a pack during practice, and then I ran it in 2 of the 3 heats, I drove my truck for the other heat. I managed to TQ with the X-60 over my truck. I ran the X60 in the main. There was an "incident" on the first lap of the main that shuffled me back to about 5th place. I was able to claw my way back up to 2nd place and I was gaining on the leader, but I didn't have time to run him down.
I'm super impressed with the truck and the way it drives. The truck was very balanced and stable, and it carries so much corner speed it's crazy.
A big thanks to Paul for letting me drive his truck!

Make sure you stock up on spare parts and there is food on-site or near by.

Sweet ride!
I really would like to get one, but I've put in a lot of time on my truck for Jan race, and I've spent too much money lately too, so it's going to have to wait until Feb sometime. I've been looking at used T4s........
Is that Paul's setup, I see the Losi shocks.

I had the T4 my stepdad gave it to me, so it wasn't too bad I just had to buy the conversion. And yes it's Paul's setup.
