X-Factory have announced that they will soon release their first complete kit, a giant step forward for the company that will remove the need for a donor car to assemble a X-6 Squared chassis. X-Factory’s distributors and many dealers have already placed orders and the kit should be on its way to fine model shops all over the world early in March. Kit price will be lower than a new B4FT kit + X-6 Squared Conversion, and the Kit contains many hop-up items most drivers would normally buy extra. X-Factory will continue to make and sell the X-6 Squared Conversion Kit for those who prefer to convert a B4.

X Factory X-6 MIP C-CVD set

Many X-6 and 6 Squared owners have wanted a genuine MIP C-CVD kit with the special X Factory axles and it is here at last. These new C-CVDs are made for X-Factory by M.I.P. and contains two complete C-CVDs per package. These units have the drive pin captured by a screw-on plastic ring instead of being secured with a set screw and is far more reliable because there is no set screw to come loose, ending your race. They feature the longer axles used on the X-6 & 6Sq with the correct spacer that allows full droop on the car.

X-Factory X-60 Body reinforcement plate

X-Factory have announced a cool new carbon fibre part to reinforce the rear body clip area of the X-60 body. Because the rear body clips are in a recessed spot, this area is naturally a weak spot on the body, so this new part spreads the stress over a larger area to lengthen the life of the body. The C.F. part bolts onto the existing body and will transfer easily to a new body, so one purchase will last through several bodies for the life of your truck. Supplied with the screws and locking nuts to install it and a drill bit so the body mount holes can be enlarged to accommodate the new part.

Kevin Lee joins X-Factory team

Have recently completed a move to Vampire Racing, UK off-roader Kevin Lee has joined X-Factory in 2WD for the 2010 season. Driving a privately entered X-6 Squared in ’09, he won the National race at Eden Park and put his car in the A-final four times during the season.

2009 was my best year ever in buggy, and the X-6 Squared was almost magic all year, including the A final at Bilbao. When the chance arrived to drive alongside Ellis Stafford and the rest of the X-Team, I didn’t think twice. They were all so helpful last year, I can’t wait to be in the middle of things now. I may even have a go with an X-60.

Lee will continue to drive the Predator for Team Extreme in 4WD, and brings all his other sponsors to the buggy drive, including Tekin, Vampire Racing, The Race Place, Panic Racing, Custom Blitz, and Trishbits.
