X - 62 Plastic Chassis! |

|
X Factory announces a new plastic chassis for the National Champion X - 6 Squared. The first ones were ready just two weeks ago and were rushed to the Team for
testing. Tom Cockerill used one to take a convincing win at Blyth, dominating all four qualifiers by wide margins and winning two A mains in equal fashion. Ellis
Stafford used the plastic chassis to wrap up the U.K. Championship, winning for the second year in a row with his X - 6 Squared. Engineer Paul Sinclair said, "The new chassis is made of the same material as the original graphite one, except that the carbon fibers are replaced by fiberglass. Therefore the new part has a bit more flex and is about 30 grams heavier. This will be an important tuning aid; the original carbon chassis will feel more rigid and provide quick reactions, the plastic chassis is more forgiving." X - 6 Squared Kits will continue to be supplied with a graphite chassis, and the plastic ones, part # 1006, will be available as an option. All hobby stores which stock X Factory Kits and parts should have #1006 in stock in just a day or two, so the fastest way to get one is through your local hobby store. They are on our store here. |
