Once the track gets a traction compound grove to it, I start getting a push and add 1mm under the inner ball stud to loosen the rear end up until it feels right. Hope this helps, it is on clay indoor track also. Love my XT6.
rear camber link is middle hole on the ball stud mount with 3mm of shims and t5m aluminum hubs with ballstud in the back row inside hole with 3mm of shims.

Try taking out the shims under the ball stud at the tower 1st, 1mm at time. Like I said on a fresh track rebuild I am running 0 spacers under the tower ball stud to tighten up the rear end of my XT6. I do not know the differences between the 5 series aluminium hubs and the 6 series aluminium hubs, but we are using the same hole and same amount of spacers on the hub.

I could be wrong but I think the ball stud holes are in the same place between 5 and 6, the 6 just adds the axle height adjustment

Im willing to bet that your front is dipping to much causing your rear tire to lift when going around the 180 (I had the same problem before).

Questions?? SLRC Chassis

I purchased a roller and it has this chassis installed . It appears it might be a lighter option? Is there a link somebody knows of to this company to get more info on the chassis. Is it better to run the stock chassis if I plan to run open or mod motor on astro turf ? I would think I might want the weight of the stock chassis to have a lower LCG? Any info helps, advanced thanks !

I would just run what you have, you can always add the brass or steel chassis weights if you want to add extra weight.

Front shocks I am running white springs, 35#, and 1.6 pistons. With gray spring I have a really bad push.


Jmoney I had the 3 gear stand up in my XT6 for its very 1st 2 batt packs only because I was waiting on all the laydown parts to arrive. Since then it has only had the laydown in it. Once my 6.1Ds arrive, I am going to try and put the layback transmission in my XT6. Hope it will work. For my outdoor season coming up I have a 4 gear B6 transmission built and ready to drop in and try.

Default XFactory chassis

I put the XFactory infinity chassis on My truck and just installed the chassis stiffener side rails. My question is where do I mount the antenna ? There seems to be no place.

I make an antenna out of body scraps. Put some holes in it and thread the antenna wire through so it does not over lap itself. Then double side tape it some where. Been working 2 years without a glitch, and no hole in the body. We did this in the 90s with cheap AM radios for oval with very little problems.
