X-Factory X-60CF stadium truck

X Factory have released their new X-60CF stadium truck, an all carbon fiber Conversion Kit which transforms an AE T4.1 or T4 into a mid-motor X-60CF. A second Kit is also available to convert an existing X-60 to the new carbon fiber version. The new X-60CF has been seen testing at races all over the United States for three months now, and Team drivers love it. Both X-60CF Kits are complete with everything needed to convert the T4.1 or T4 to the new mid-motor truck or to convert the X-60 to carbon fiber. The conversion for the AE truck includes the great JConcepts designed and supplied body. The Kit to convert an X-60 is the lowest price Kit X-Factory has ever sold because so many parts are carried over; most drivers will do this conversion in less than two hours. The T4.1 conversion usually takes a bit over two hours.
