Little X is ready !

After a lot of work during the last 2 months, the new 950kg / 2095lbs mini modified tractor called ''Little X'' of the X Pulling Team from Bredebro in Denmark is ready.
The completely new mini got a new Docol tube frame with a new Docol roll cage, a homemade rack and pinion steering, an aluminum racing seat from the Oil Addict Pulling Team, a Dana 60 rear end with billet parts from TRB Machine Inc. in the USA and special made parts from Emil Roth in Sweden. The new chassis and some other components for the tractor were built by Emil and Olof Roth of the Nasty Toy Pulling from Ljungbyhed in Sweden.
The fenders on the ride are made off carbon fiber and come from the old Vampire mini mod tractor from Neede in the Netherlands. The Team purchased the fenders from Maik Straatman, owner of the natural aspirated Rolls Royce Griffon V12 powered mini mod called ''Piecemaker'' and the V8 Hemi powered mini mod called ''Hateful 8'' from Germany.
The paint job on the tractor was done by the company ''Svends Autolakering'' from Losing in Denmark and Steffen Schaab of XD3SIGN from Selent in Germany did the vinyl wrap on the fenders and the fuel tank.
The Dana 60 rear end in the new Little X has a modified Dana 60 center section with a TRB billet aluminum diff, a TRB special made ring and pinion gear, billet aluminum planetaries carrier housing with special made planetaries by Emil Roth of the Nasty Toy Pulling Team and a new single wheel brake system with Wilwood brake calipers and steel brake rotors. The Dana rear axle comes from the old Swedish mini modified tractor called ``Nasty Toy´´ of Emil and Olof Roth.

The new drivetrain got a new Vampire Gears 2 speed gearbox with a new homemade driveshaft from the gearbox to the rear axle, a 10´´ inch MRP Racing centrifugal clutch with 3 discs and a Trick Titanium clutch bell housing.

The X Team bought a set of used polished Real Wheel aluminum rims with almost new Pioneer Giant Puller tires for the new mini mod. The Pioneer tires were purchased from the Redneck Rebel Pulling Team in Denmark and the Real Wheel rims come from the old Nasty Toy mini mod from Sweden.
The new Little X is powered by a blown BAE V8 Hemi engine on methanol fuel with 526cui capacity. The font aluminum engine plate for the fuel tank, the ignition box, and the MSD coil system was drawn and manufactured by JG Parts.

The power plant has a BAE billet aluminum engine block with Darton sleeves, a Sonny Bryant billet steel crankshaft with billet aluminum Brooks rods and billet aluminum BAE pistons, BAE Stage 5 billet aluminum cylinder heads with BAE aluminum valve covers, BAE lifters, a billet steel camshaft, a PSI 14-71 blower with a JBR carbon fiber scoop, a RCD oil pump, a Moroso oil pan, a JG Parts aluminum fuel tank, a Enderle methanol fuel injection system with a Waterman fuel pump, a MSD 44 Pro Mag ignition and a Racepak data logger.
The maiden run of the new Little X was usually planned for the Danish Championship opener in Brande, Denmark. But a broken sled made it's not possible to make a run at the Championship opener. 2 weeks later at the Allingabro Motor Festival, the new tractor made its first official run in front of the Danish sled. The first pass wasn´t so bad, but the ignition timing wasn't 100% correct. Back in the pits they made some changes on the ignition, but without big success. The engine still not ran well and the tractor moved only a few meters. Jesper Madsen and the rest of the X Team tried everything to get the problem solved in the pits but without luck. A few weeks later, the Danish guys were invited to the super pull of the north in Haßmoor, Germany. The engine ran much better and the problem with the ignition was solved. Driver Christian Nikolajsen made a nice pass, but the mini was a bit unbalanced in the end, which cost him a few meters. 74.76m was distance and a well 4th place for the Dane. But the most important point was, the team went home without any big damages.
