X Factory X-6 Squared saddle pack chassis

X Factory have released a new chassis for the X-6 Squared that is CNC machined to accept saddle LiPo packs. Development work was done by U.K. National Champion Ellis Stafford, and The Big E used the first saddle chassis to win the last National at Eden Park Raceway. When the X-6 was designed in 2005, LiPos were new and around 3000mAh and were quite light compared to cells. However, almost all drivers then used cells, and the X-6 was primarily designed to use a 4+2 cell arrangement. With the mid motor design, this arrangement concentrated the car’s weight in the center just ahead of the rear wheels. When the early LiPos were used, they were so light that a bit of extra weight to the side made little difference. Now with 5000 and even 6000mAh LiPos, there is more weight and so the new saddle pack chassis returns to the concentrated mass concept of the original. The car rolls less in corners and is more balanced in bumpy sections without use of a sway bar.

O’Donnell are reporting on their coast-to-coast adventure which began at the incredible RC Excitement facility in Fitchburg, MA, for the first annual O’Donnell East Coast Championship.

Not to be outdone, Baker went on to take the TQ spot in e-buggy with the Z01-E SG and the TQ spot in truggy as well, with his Z01-T SG. In the main events, however, Baker put on a driving clinic with the new line of SG vehicles from O’Donnell racing to claim victory. The following day, it was back on a plane to the West Coast for the annual O’Donnell West Coast Championships at the world-famous Revelation Raceway in Montclair, CA. During qualifying, O’Donnell Fuel driver Dylan Rodriguez lay down the TQ in both buggy and truggy. When the main events rolled around, it was a whole different story. The top spot changed hands throughout the race. In the end, O’Donnell factory driver Barry Baker, fresh off of his truggy win out East, let them know who the boss was as he piloted his O’Donnell Z01-T SG to victory over his O’Donnell teammate Mike Moralez.
