More information as we get it.

X-Factory have announced that, as of October 1st, all X-6 Squared kits leaving their shop will be equipped with the new Associated V2 shocks. Chief Engineer Paul Sinclair said, “In my opinion the V2 shocks are easier to build because they have the separate cartridge at the bottom for the O-rings and a bleeder cap on top so you are sure all the air is out. The first pair I built came out smooth and identical,that’s what you want when building shocks. There will be no change in price to the kit.

As teased some weeks ago, Xray have released the full details on the next evolution of their T3 platform, the T3’11. As expected the car is more of small step than a major change with the biggest changes being the new ultra narrow LiPo specific chassis plate, the new top deck and new centrally positioned dual steering system which sees the horn mounted steering servo saver positioned along the car’s centre line. Xray say that these small changes will help improve cornering and make the car easier to drive, especially in high traction conditions. The only other new items are the composite battery holders that prevent the pack from shifting during a crash and new low profile shock membranes for easier dampening adjustment.
