X-Factory line of black upgrade parts

X-Factory line of black upgrade parts

X Factory announces a new line of black anodised upgrade parts to fit the full range of X-Cars and, in some cases, many other brands of off-road 1/10 vehicles as well. All are designed by X Factory’s chief engineer Paul Sinclair and this new line kicks off with four great items and will be expanded soon as Paul designs new parts. First up is the new battery stand-off kit. Four black aluminium pieces fit under the standard CF battery strap to raise the posts for ROAR-maximum height batteries.  Includes mounting studs & four black low-profile lock nuts and fits the X-6 Squared & X-60. Next is the motor plate, the same as the standard aluminium plate for X Factory’s 4-Gear transmission, but it looks a whole lot better in black. The new servo mounts fit the X-6 Squared, X-60 and most 1/10 AE cars. Finally the black wheel washers are just dialed, and fit most 1/10 off-road cars with 3/16” diameter axles.
