X-Factory X-6 Rear CVD axle

X-Factory have announced a new rear axle for the X-6 and X-6 Squared buggy, designed specially for car and manufactured by M.I.P.. Chief Engineer Paul Sinclair explained that Many drivers have used their older rear axle which was a direct copy of the BK2 axle and it needed shims on the inside to make it work. While many drivers use it because it allows full droop, the old axle as really too long and sometimes caused the dogbones to bottom out in the outdrives. This new axle is the perfect length allowing full droop but will not bottom out in the outdrive and includes the correct spacer to go between the axle and the inner bearing. The axle fits right on your C.V.D. in place of the standard B4 axle and the spacer goes on the axle against the shoulder to the inside of the inner wheel bearing.

X-Factory X-6 and B4 front axles

X Factory have announced new front axles to fit both the X-6 Squared and the RC10B4. B4s are sold with steel front trailing axles that secure the wheel with a nut. The nut protrudes from the front wheel and can catch on things. The new X Factory trailing front axles are hardened steel so they won’t break and secure the wheel with a button head screw. Made for X Factory by M.I.P., the new axles are completely drilled through the center so they each weigh just 1 gram more than the aluminum FT axle. The package contains two axles and four button head screws, X Factory’s axles are secured in the car with a screw instead of an E-clip, so each pack contains everything needed for both sides of the car.

X-Factory X-6 Squared Plastic Flex chassis

X-Factory have announced the release of this new ‘plastic’ chassis for the National Champion X-6 Squared buggy. The first ones were ready just two weeks ago and were rushed to the Team for testing and Tom Cockerill used one to take a convincing win at the Blythe UK National. The new chassis is made of the same material as the original ‘graphite’ version, except that the carton fibres are replaced by fiberglass giving it a bit more flex. X-6 Squared kits will continue to be supplied with a graphite chassis, and the plastic ones will be available as an option.
