Xray XB4 thread
#361
The waiting is the hardest part. So, for those who have theirs, any race days and initial thoughts?
#362
From back when I used to run AE TC3`s and Tamiya EVO cars, I learned to shim properly the hard/expensive way. I practice the same on my current 1/10 Lazer ZX5 FS SP2 as well. Would be really surprised if this car is that much different
My diffs have A LOT of play with no shims and I cant imagine the gears expanding that much. Even so, it would mean that we need to preheat our diffs before the start of a race then, wouldnt it? what kind of temps are expected here? Doesnt make any sense to me.
there are other XB4`s at my local track also, so I`ll get a chance to compare mesh with other cars. Need to get to the track soon...
Anyway, I`ll run my diffs with the shiming, and keep an eye on the mesh after every run. On my own risk of course
Car look great, and the shocks must be the most straight forward shock build ever!

Saw two in action today. Got punished really bad around a high grip track. No issues what so ever with diffs and what not. Looked very good.
Only thing I am concerned about are that 3mm shock tower. Should be a little bit thicker in my opinion.

Did run a few packs today and no problem with the diffs so far..
Did have one hick up, the safty collar for the pins in the center shafts are too soft, the front pin came out on my brothers car and are about to do so on mine too..
Besides from that the car felt great and was wery nice to drive

Are you going to run in 17.5 or mod?
I'm looking at this car as well but with no lower tooth spur gears (yet) can it be geared low enough for stock?
Only time will tell.

Thanks, I am going to run mod. I believe it's only a matter of time before kimbrough or others will bring out stock spurs. By looking at the available spurs you maybe able to come close to getting a stock FDR if you run a high rpm motor and or rotor.
