How does it compare to the KSG as far as getting through the corners? Did you find that it was easier to get dialed in with this car over the KSG?

Thanks

RC

RC,

I have run this car since September and I really like the car a lot. I have run on a number of flat tracks with good results. This past weekend I was TQ with a new track record in mod. I also own the track record in 4 cell stock at a track in IL. I feel this car is the best of what an L4 and KSG cars have in performance. I hope this helps in your choice.

dont tell me your cherry picking the stock class now monti.. he he. id agree you have been quite a bit more consistent and fast with the new silva car..if it helps the (mangler) << hefty term... it should help anyone...he he.. congrats on your warm up win...

Thanks Burbs but no I am not cherry picking...I just want to run the car at differnent places and see how it does. Also, getting beat Sonny is not a bad thing either!

Monti, do you run the side shock in the outside or inside holes on the cross brace? Also, what position do you run the center shock mount. I've just built mine up and have to get used to having more adjustments..LOL

Thanks

I run my side shocks in the outter hole and I use the KSG center shock mount and put the shock in the middle or third hole from the top.

Good luck.

Monti, Thanks

Are you talking to me? I am Dave Wert (DW). Is there more then one Dave Wert here?

DW

Dave,

Yes there is more than one and I mixed them up. He is an old friend who lost touch and sent me a message. I just got you two confused......sorry :freak:

Ha ha, thats funny. No worries.

Built my first pair of Silva hps shocks today and those puppies are smooth and easy to build. I've been racing rc for 25 years and in that time I've built/rebuilt a delta style shock or two and these things are beyond any trick used on the old shocks to get them to work right out of the package.

I've had real good luck with my vcs shocks but I just wanted to try these out and they were in stock in the color I wanted too. Bled'em just as we used to the old delta shocks and 1st time was the charm.

I really dont see why so many people claim to have problems building these except that the instructions could mention bleeding them in a little more detail. If all Silva products are this nice everyone else should just go out of business.

Ran the car at stockton this weekend in 19 turn at the carpet champs race. The car works awesome, made the A-MAIN on saturday and finished fifth, Won the B-main on sunday. Lack of sleep and patience didn't help on Sunday.
Needeed a little more HORSEPOWER and a little more TUNING to keep up with Hamilton and KC. Any set up help would be appreciated. Thanks George.

Duane

Just bought a X-Factor Today, As i was putting it together I noticed the Chassis is Bowed? Is this normal?

Hey Duane....I do not own an L4...Do you sell a complete car kit? If so..where can I get one.................Thanks

Hey Duane I got the car together and am going to lay wipes on G-unit this weekend LOL!!!! Awsome jod on the car can't wait to run it.

Ritchie welcome to the club!

Bud, The x-factor four is only a conversion.

-Monti-

Ritchie! Wipes G-Huney? Gross! How about laying whips to him thats much more "G" rated! Sorry couldn't resist.

Hopefully someday I will get my own X-factor to keep....but Ziggy and G-Unit still have to work on it for me.....lol

hey all you X factor guys, you all gonna come up to the Arcor Open in March and lay some Whips on us KSG boys??? LOL!!!!! Couldn't resist!

Barry, How is little Juan coming??? I may need the weekend of March 20th.........

I Would like to Apologize to Silva, The chassis I got was NOT bowed, i'm just dumb, I am writing this so no one thinks there is a problem with there chassis's, But i will say I ran this car this week And it was AWSOME, Love the car keep up the good work......

Is there a fiberglass t-plate that will work on this car without modifying plate or battery tray?? Thanks LJ

Yes any of the associated fiberglass t-plates will work.

Larry: Any t-plate that is the same width (the main body portion) as an Associated will work. I don't think the KSG wide plates will fit ...

Jake

Hey everyone just thought you would like to know G-Unit broke the track record Sat at Sandhills in mod. The record was set last year on the old carpet. G broke it by a full sec and he was running 3300. I guess people can quit saying the track is slow with the new carpet. The X Factor is getting faster it's scary.

Ritchie Mac

Ritchie...Can you share any setup tips for the X Factor for carpet flat track. Would appreciate it.

Thanks

RC

Roadsplat I haven't ran my X Factor on a flat track yet. I switched camps right after the snowbirds. I'll talk to G-Unit tonight a find out a little bit for you. Later

I wOULD ALSO USE SOME small flat carpet with poor traction also anybody got any pics of finished car?

GOT MY KIT today i was a little disapointed to have to drill servo holes and i had to countersink the holes for the front end the were way shallow well try it this weekend !

Don't know of any kits that come with the servo holes drilled ! Way too many different servos out there with different distances between the mounting holes, if they drilled enough holes to fit all servos it would look like swiss cheese! Drilling the holes is not that big a chore. Ralf 13

Dave W

The X-Factor front end is countersunk for a 100 degree 8\32 screw instead of the standard 80 degree screw. I ordered the from Fastners express in bulk for about $20.00

THANKS got the new screws heres some pics what do ya think!

hey how do i post pics on this site?

What spur are you guys running for mod??? Hard to get a very big spur on!! Thanks LBJ!!!

I have been running 120, 124 or 128.

How do you run a 128? Extended pod or Kimbrough axle spacers??? See Ya LBJ!!

Larry you do not have to do anything special. It all depends on your roll out. In four cell I run 120 in 6 cell I ran 122 which is really close to a 128 in getting the same roll out. You should be able to run a 120 easy in mod and 118 or 116 for sure.
