X-Factory X-6 Squared Plastic Flex chassis

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.
