The X-60

Brian Kinwald joined the Team in 2006 and asked, “When can I make a truck? As good as the buggy is, a mid-motor truck will be even better."

We released the X – 60 (say it to yourself: X - Sixty. X - 6T. X - 60) late in 2008 and Brian promptly put it in The Show at the ’09 ROAR Nationals. Just like the buggy, the mid-motor truck is more balanced with less "pendulum-effect" than a rear-motor truck. It’s simple physics, and it works the same over bumps. A rear motor acts like a bucking bronco while the mid-motor X – 60 stays calm and collected. More speed through the whoops section. More natrual racing lines, and less point-and-shoot driving. Mid-motor design and X Factory’s legendary 4-Gear transmission makes the truck fly better and gives more control in the air. Most new X Factory drivers see big reductions in lap times and better overall race times. As they gain experience and confidence with their X - 60 it only gets better.

The K 018 Conversion Kit makes an AE T4 into an X – 60, and it only takes 2 or 3 hours. One of our favorite stories comes from X Factory driver Chris Cristo, who was just a family member at the 2008 JConcepts Clash. We brought down one of the first production kits for him. When practice rained out, Chris went back to the hotel and converted his T4 and still met everyone for dinner. He made the competitive Stock Truck A Main that year, by the way. The K018 conversion kit includes everything you need, from the bolts to the body (Yes, that dialed J Concepts body is included). If you start with a running T4, three hours later you’ll have a running X – 60.

Production of the first X – 60s vaulted X Factory to the top rank of R/C quality, fit, and finish. Most drivers build their X – 60s without touching a Dremel – mold flashing is now at a minimum. The T4 parts fit perfectly, the trans is super-smooth, and the end result is better than the original because it’s faster!

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.
