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.
