X-Factory X-6

Now i normally don’t post links to product builds or reviews because i like Red RC to be more of a news source but in this case we’ll make an exception. Jimmey Storey over at oOple.com has done and amazingly detailed review of the new X-Factory X-6 2wd conversion kit. The images and layout, as well as the words & tips, in this build are some of the best you’ll ever be likely to see. I urge you to check it out.
