X Factory has just announced the new X-6 Cubed conversion for the B4.2 buggy is set to be released THIS WEEK!
 
X Factory Press Release:
 
The eagerly anticipated X Factory X – 6 Cubed will begin shipping to dealers all over the world the week of August 1st. Many Dealers have accepted pre-orders, and most of them will be filled from this first production run.

The X – 6 Cubed is an all-new carbon fiber chassis update of the most successful mid-motor off-road buggy ever, the X – 6 Squared. Team drivers have been showing the new car off on three continents with considerable success for about two months now, and the initial production run is ready to ship.

X Factory introduced the first purpose-built mid-motor buggy seven years ago with the X – 6 molded chassis car, and that was updated in 2009 to the X – 6 Squared. Now the Squared has been significantly improved with release of the X – 6 Cubed. Mid-motor is inherently faster than rear – check the physics principles – and X Factory has long been known for cars that are easy to drive fast, so this new car vaults X Factory to the forefront of 1/10 off-road.

The X – 6 Cubed is available in two versions: The K 030 Conversion Kit converts an AE B4, B4.1, or B4.2 to an X – 6 Cubed. This Kit includes everything needed to turn a running B4.2 into a running X – 6 Cubed, including the outdrives & bearings. The K 031 UpGrade Kit upgrades an existing X – 6 Squared to Cubed.
 
 
New Cubed features include:

  • Slim design carbon fiber chassis for correct weight distribution. Better handling in corners, over bumps, and in the air.
  • Light weight. With a “shorty” pack you may have to add ballast to bring the car up to minimum racing weight.
  • The car is almost entirely carbon fiber with anodized aluminum parts for maximum strength and fantastic looks.
  • New “tower forward” design brings the rear shock tower forward to make the shocks straighter and bring the wing forward. It has several performance advantages and looks better too!
  • All new cab-forward slim body. Cab is further forward than most with windshield at a steeper rake for more front downforce. Rear is swept up as all X factory bodies for rear downforce. It’s the best looking body out there!
  • New medium downforce wing standard. Wing is contoured to fit the shock tower, but is narrower than the high downforce wing on the X – 6 Squared and the rear kick-up is 5o less. Both wings fit the Cubed and the high downforce is still available.
  • Accepts all the latest AE parts, including big bore shocks. Includes the outdrives and bearings to fit the B4.1 & 4.2 diffs into the great X Factory 4-Gear transmission.
