Xray XB4 thread
#5206
question, i bought a kit xb4 4wd on 7-24-14 from amain, built the hole kit tried to put the servo in and the ears on the servo ripped off the servo. it seems like the servo mounts on the chassis is about 2mm to 1mm to wide for the servo. servo am using is xp ds1313. has anybody else experienced this problem. also i looked at the photos of the car online and it looks like i have the 2wd drive chassis is there a difference between the 4wd drive and the 2wd?
The alu chassis part is similar but different. The 2wd has more front kick-up and has multiple mounting holes to be able to position the servo in different positions longitudinally in the car.
Regarding servo mounting I always position everything in the car loosely tightened so that everything is positioned correctly before I tighten down the screws between the servo mount and the servo ears. I stick to this practice in any car since there are some differences regarding size between different servo makes.
Hope this helps.

Broke another upper deck on my XB4, that makes two since January. Both of them broke right where the front body post mounts, seems like the obvious weak point of the brace. Are there any options out there without the hole drilled for the body mount?
I know the short answer is "stop lawn darting into the face of a jump", sometimes things happen.

If there was a little more clearance between the bottom of the brace and the steering rack you could use a buttonhead and a wide washer to beef it up. Maybe raise the front of the brace with shims, just enough to washer the post. Or take a broken one and fab a brace on top.

I run the 2 screws into the diff case tight then back off just a bit. It allows the top deck a little movement.

Get the one on eBay that goes from the front all the way to the back.

For those which are fed up with heavy chassis, give a chance to this configuration

Drove the XB4 for the first time this weekend. I ran into walls and rails and beat this thing up and broke nothing This thing is a tank!! My old TD would have crumbled!!
However, the car is nose diving in the front end. Should I add weight to the rear? I run in a indoor clay track.

Stay off the brakes when in the air? If you're not on the brakes are you running drag brake? If so either turn the drag brake down/off or blip the throttle a bit while in the air.
