X-6 Squared

The X – 6² is the most proven mid-motor buggy in the world. In 2009 the Squared won 9 different National Championships, and 2010 is continuing that tradition. Ellis Stafford won the U.K. National Championship in 2009 for the second year in a row and TQed the European Championship. Think it's only for Europe? Mike Ciresi won the 2009 Michigan Off-Road Series with his X – 6² on some of the most blown-out outdoor ‘gas tracks' you'll see. Yuichi Ajishi finished 5th at the 2009 All-Japan Championship Race. X Factory’s buggies are winning races in the all over the world.

Moving the motor inboard just makes sense. Tires only have so much traction; the motor hanging out the back acts like a pendulum in corners, causing the driver to dance on the edge of control waiting for the rear end to step out. With more concentrated mass, the X – 6 Squared carries more corner speed and is much more predictable. The mid-motor design also handles bumps better and is stable in the air. Simply put, it’s easier to drive fast. Most new owners shave ˝ sec per lap immediately. Many go from the B to the A or from middle of the A to the podium. Racing is fun again with the Squared.

You can get your X – 6² one of two ways:
•If you're looking for everything in one box, the highest-spec race kit available, you'll be interested in the K021 X – 6 Squared Kit.
•If you already own an Associated B4, check out the K019 X – 6 Squared Conversion kit.

For both kits, check out the full gallery of detail shots and information. Have a look through the instructions, browse the X Factory forum, or maybe read what XF Family members are saying about their rides. Email us if you have any questions.

When you're ready to go faster, check out your nearest X Factory Dealer and ask about the kits. Alternatively, you can purchase all the kits and parts directly through our webshop.

Multi Euro- and UK- Champion Ellis Stafford joined in 2007 after experimenting with a mid-motor car on his previous team. “This is the way it ought to be,” said The Big E. “I can really push it in the corners and out-drive the others. It loses nothing on the straights. Other cars are trying to catch up now, but the X – 6 Squared is still fastest.”

World Champion Brian Kinwald switched to X Factory in 2006. During his first session, Dirt said, “This car is like cheating!” Brian returned to top-level racing in 2007 and has been going faster every race since. “This is totally fun. Every race we learn more about the car and it’s faster. We're already as fast as anything else out there, and there's still a bunch of speed to come.”
