|  Reworked X-Factor for a friend
Tried 3 different chassis designs until I stumbled into this one, a folded chassis design (thanks guys for the inspiration) with alum stiffeners. Im very pleased with how well it works. 16.5"' wheel base 55T lathe motor pede tranny 1/4 scale servos. on custom one piece mount for servos and upper control arms the stock chassis weighed around 15 oz, this one is 9 oz    The basket is 12" tall now how do I make it so these axles dont hang up on everything! |

Cool truck! But the hang up is because you have small tyres for those axlles. The're just too wide u cant help it but u can buy larger tyres |

|  Picked up the re worked X factor
It was a pleasure to work with rockwerks and he did a awsome job on my crawler, very very nice chassie, clean simple but works great, what a difference, i cant believe how good my X works now. All i can say to all of you who have a X factor and still have stock or semi stock chassie, junk it and talk to rockwerks and have him make you one, it rocks. Cant wait for our comp here in Flagstaff AZ on the 22nd of july to see howit does agains the clouds and the other big ones. So if you have a chance and are kinda close to Flagstaff come and join us at our comp. Will keep you updated how it keeps on rocking |
