X-Factory X-60 Truck testing report

We received this testing report from X Factory whose team have been putting their production prototype X-60 truck conversions through their paces for about 10 days. All production prototype X-60s got a good thrashing over the past weekend, with Brian Kinwald seen at Competition Hobbies, Paul Sinclair at Whitehouse Raceway near Nashville, Tenn, and Alex Krieg at S.R.S. in Scottsdale, Ariz. All four U.K. drivers were trucking at various venues over the weekend, and Alexander Valente ran his X-60 for almost an hour at his home track in France. Big news is that the testers experienced just a single minor failure. The new molded chassis looks great, and the new graphite arms and CF tower fit and work correctly. The truck goes together well, and quality is superb.
