Can't wait to see pics

Hey D & D! What would be the price range for the X-Factor (Canadian)? If this information is available, it would be great, because I am very interested in upgrading my Team Associated RC10 L4O to the X-Factor!

Thanks!

D & D, what is the part number of the platic bushing for the new shock update? BTW, love the way your shock build, sure makes life easier.

Do you guys know where I can buy the new caster blocks from Associated. Ziggy said something about they were on the market, where can I buy them????

Thanks...

Well, what I normally do, is get the part number for the product, then ask my local hobby shop to order it, and it then comes in. But that depends if your hobby shop will aloow this...

Justin #29

I guess it's fairly new and I cant find the part number? I dont know if anyone has seen these yet, if so please let me know where I can buy them. I guess I could always call Ziggy?

mario.. if your talking about the new molded mounts with the set screws, the part number is # 4561 according to associated web site..

For those interested, we have the Associated part in stock ... Along with a couple thousand other ASC parts! When getting the new caster blocks, don't forget to order the new hingepins also.

burbs the #4561 is for the 1/12 scale as seen in this file http://download.teamassociated.com/pdf/catalogs/drawing_12l4.pdf
don't think they would work to well on a oval car

Mario,
Yep those are the ones Ziggy was running and was tearing up the track with.

When I saw his car I asked him if those were the ones that now come with the 12L4 and he said you betcha.

Peace, herb and orange skittles,

:confused: any pics of this new car yet? :confused:

When I get home I can post some pics of the new car. It will be a bit but I should have some posted by tonight.

Zig

Awsome Ziggy! I just want to see this new car, because I am looking for a new chassis and this is the one that interests me the most so far!

Thanks!
Justin #29

If anyone wants other pics. E-mail me and I can either post them or e-mail them to you.

Ziggy, is the only thing different that I can see is the battery tray, just wondering, because the rest pretty much looks the same as a L4O, or do you get all of those blue aluminium parts with it?

Thanks!
Justin #29

Ziggy, thanks for posting pictures. I have been really busy with everthing.

Here are the part numbers for the kit and parts. I am shipping parts to Dave tomorrow.

SC200 X-FACTOR 4 Chassis Kit
SC201 X-FACTOR 4 Chassis
SC202 X-FACTOR 4 / L4 Battery bracket
SC203 X-FACTOR 4 / L4 4 cell battery tray
SC204 X-FACTOR 4 Bottom plate
SC205 X-FACTOR 4 Chassis brace
SC206 X-FACTOR 4 Top plate
SC207 X-FACTOR 4 / L4 nerf wing
SC208 X-FACTOR 4 Front slider mount

The car still looks close to the L4. The car has changed allot on it as far as geometry goes. There is allot more added adjustment to help to the car tune better to different tracks. The cars been doing very well with all th testing that has been going on.

D & D Silva

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen it posted. What's the cost of the X Factor?

Car looks good!!

Thanks

RC

Im a little disapointed.. I expected more from silva. To me at least it is an L4...

Basically i could just get a battery tray , and drill new holes for the crossbrace.. then id basically have a silva car...

not trying to knock the car, just stating what i can see.

the car doing well is no suprise.. the L$ is a great car.... why not diff style cutouts on it .. something to make it satand apart from the normal copy cat cars...

Hey Guys, I have been running my car for two weeks now and trust me it is a lot more than a L4. First off it turns like a Ksg car. Second, the pod has a totally different geometry and is not at all like the L4 except for the pod plates them selves. The right front slides up and down like the old racetech cars and Ksg cars. The rear cross brace is different in that you now have a choice where to run the side shocks. Like many people have said before when it comes to RC cars it is all in the details not the over all picture.

-Monti-

Well, it all sounds great and dandy, but how much is the X-Factor?

Justin #29

Duane I ordered your shocks a year ago and got shock body's I expected the whole package. Do you have a part number that I can order the whole shock and what is the number? What part numbers do I need to get these shocks that I already have up and running with your updates? Thank's for your time.

i have never seen them as complete shocks.. they use associated shafts....

is this available as a complete kit or as an upgrade for an L3...ALso what is the price...
How thick is the graphite...Thin like a KSG or thick like a Maverick/KGB......

Ziggy,

You plan on running the 9th on the carpet????

I am not too sure. I am trying to get down to Sandhills at some point as well as run some on-road. I will have to see. Depends on if there is going to be a mod crowd.

Zig

D & D... car looks good got a look at Gregs and it was pretty sweet. Just what the L$ needed.. well that and Greg....lol.

See you guys soon.

Billy

Hey duane,How are you doing,e mail me some time.I am doing my own tires for 1/10 scale pan cars,under GK Tires,alot eaiser than running Showtime R/C Speedway.
Grant Kniffen

anyone know the answers to the questions I posted.....Thinking of picking up another ride

Same here!

Justin #29

Sorry for the delay on answering questions. The Chassis kit is just a kit with all the graphite parts and limited hardware. The price for the chassis kit will be $174.99 retail through IRS and hobby shop that carry my product ( hobby stores my have it lower). The Chassis is made from .102 thick material. It has been holding up through allot of testing pretty well.

Dave at IRS will have the parts and kits tomorrow.

Billy the car has been going very well. The car has been in good hands with Daryl, Sean, Greg, Ziggy, Monti and myself doing allot of testing. The main thing is to let the car make a name for it self by the on track performance.


D & D Silva

:) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ziggy,

Ricky and myself will be there, I'm not sure about Frank, I think he is taking a few weeks off. I'll be there on the 23rd also, I might come down Friday for some practice and maybe some dinner with the gang ( on the 22nd ). Let me know either way? Pete gonna run this winter with us too??????

P.S - I cant find those damn castor (SP???) blocks anywhere?????

Mario....

I am going to plan on coming out there next weekend as long as I dont have to work. Are you guys planning on running mod? As far as the Caster blocks I know that Performance Hobbies in Rochester has them and I believe that Fountain Raceway in Ontario, NY still has them.


Zig

Mario
Try here they have those castor blocks.

http://volo.net/cgi-bin/cart/leisure-time.com?id=ASC4561&de=Upper+Susp+Mnt,+0,+5,10+deg:12&mo=++++1&pr=******2.88

I don't see the kits on IRS's web page yet. Have they gotten them in?

Erock,

Those are the 12th scale blocks!

They are the same blocks for 1/10 and 1/12 scale

I just want to let everyone know that testing with the new Silva X factor 4 conversion has been going well. Right now it already holds a track record at my local track and more should fall soon. I also heard that testing has been going on down south with the new car and it has not missed a beat! My hats is off the Silvas on a job well done!

-Monti-

Monti,i guess that extra hole on cross brace is for another stand-off could you e-mail a set up to get going carpet about size of snowbirds . dom-cath@comcast.net thanks DOM-19

Hey dom you have mail. And you are correct the other hole is for another stand off.

-Monti-

New Silva products are now on Irrgang's web site.

I would like to more about the adjustments. Can you offset the rear pod? Can you offset the frontend meaning move left to right? What is the wheel base from short to long ect... Any other info!!!!! Thanks LBJ

Larry you can offset the rear pod. The right front tire does slide front to rear and you can adjust the left side wheel base. The front end does not slide left to right. There are another set of holes to mount the rear shocks out further than a stock L4 car. The major changes to this car are in the geomerty which allows the car to transfer weight a lot better than the L4.

-Monti-

Hey Monti...

Needs your help w/ 4 cell classes.....got a new KSG slider can you PM me a setup for carpet??? Help a cool guy out??

Kris Fowler

We are also now stocking the new Silva parts -- the new style updated shocks, the new shock caps, the new shock ends, parts, etc.

E-Mail us at: jeff@lefthander-rc.com

Good racin' !

Jeff.
