Ellis Stafford signs 2 year extension with X-Factory
X-Factory have announced that multiple British Champion Ellis Stafford has signed to race their cars for two more years. Ellis said “I continue to be excited driving for X-Factory. Back in 2006 when I first started with the X-Team, we had the X-5 Squared and the original X-6 and they were the fastest, most innovative cars around. I won the U.K. Championship in ’08 with the 6, but we didn’t stand on our laurels, we designed and raced the 6 Squared to the title in 09, making two years in a row. I tied for the Championship with the Squared in 2010, and I think it’s still the fastest 2WD buggy out there.” “It’s the X-7 that excites me now. Again X-Factory is leaping ahead with an innovative new design, and I’m so happy to be a part of the design team. I took my prototype X-7 to a club race win the other weekend and it was very good indeed. 2012 and 2013 will be my most exciting years of R/C racing!”

X-Factory TLR22 carbon fibre battery strap
X-Factory have announced a new carbon fibre battery strap for the rear motor TLR 22. The new CF strap installs with just two screws through chassis holes already in the 22. Removal of the old cloth Velcro straps and installing the dialed new CF part takes less than five minutes. X Factory made the first one specially for the Bill Bridges benefit race last month, and they were so popular that they decided to produce them for the public.

X-Factory E-Speed motor plate
X Factory and Ellis Stafford are proud to announce the new E-Speed motor plate to fit all 4-Gear X-Cars. Fresh from his dominating victory at the TLR Super Cup race, Ellis releases the newly designed motor plate to improve motor cooling and reduce bending. Made of 7075 aluminium, the new plate is stronger than the standard motor plate and has extra material too. Extra cooling areas make the plate even more efficient than the old one it replaces. The color matches Ellis’s motor plate support bracket and his heatsink/fan mount, so the three parts play very nicely together.

X-Factory X-7 4wd prototype buggy
X-Factory showed off its new 4wd car for the first time at the recently completed Cactus Classic. This photo show the prototype X-7 with a J Concepts body made for the B44. The production car will have its own body. “I’m so excited about this car” said Chief Engineer Paul Sinclair. “The X-7 is absolutely revolutionary. You have never seen a driveline like this, you have never seen adjustability this easy or quick. Working on the car is very easy; I can pull a diff, rebuild it, and have the car ready to run in 10 minutes.” Paul added, “We’re working very hard on this project. We will make almost everything on the car, it will be a complete kit, not a conversion. This is the first time I’ve actually designed everything on the car from the ground up. There is a long way to go, lots of testing and development. Ellis Stafford will have my original race prototype sometime next week. We hope to have it on the market late this year or spring of 2012.”
