I measured the depth of the notches along with Bryan @ RCAmerica on the phone, they were the same as what he had within reason. I did dremel them a bit deeper though in case I do any modding that actually allows me to use the inner positions.

Interesting about the different part # for the center diff outdrives. On Amain the pic of the fr/rear outdrives have no grease groove, but the ones in the kit do. I actually built my center diff with a regular diff, and just bought the adapter and gear on Amain and it is fine, so I don't know what the difference is, maybe the actual center diff outdrives are shorter as they wouldn't need to be as long, can anybody confirm that has the actual center diff set?

XRAY should pick up Jorn. On carpet/astro he's practically invincible.

In case you haven't been following along, Xray won't even acknowledge that there is a problem, so I would say no, as of now they are not going to do anything for the '15 owners, or the '14 owners for that matter, as they appear to have the same issue.

Ok, sorry, read something different into your comment.

Totally agree

I did a search and didn't find this info, are the left front and right front suspension arms interchangable or are they different(2013 XB4)? Same for the rear arms?
Thanks

I can't confirm on the '13, but fronts are on the '15, rears are not, because of the gullwing design.

I spectated the Reedy race and was surprised Xray did not attend, at all, considering to get an invite you just have to place in the a-main of a number of qualifying EU championship races. There were a number of privateer kids (yes like 10yo!) that were racing head to head with world champs in invite at Reedy!
But the issue may be that the Reedy race crowns the winner by combining 2wd and 4wd points. Xray would score big in 4wd no doubt but are not quite ready to score needed points in 2wd on a dirt track... A bit of a no win situation (right now) for Xray.

And I received the email regarding the rear hanger situation... something we could look into but it will not be a quickly made part for us as we have our plates pretty full with other projects and its production. Sorry guys.

'13, '14 and '15 car the fronts are interchangeable left to right.
None of the cars have interchangeable rear arms left to right.

Well, those kids both qualified for the a-main at the European championship, and one of them got fourth place, so it is not like it is just any major European race...

Yes quite a feat and no doubt EXTREMELY talented but my point was that you did not have to win a major race which someone had asked earlier...

So just so I understand, my '13 RR block is off set by +0.50mm on the right side. This means the right side has approx a half degree more of toe in? So to fix this I need to use a 0.5 bushing pointing out wards, on the left side, and a "zero" or centered bushing on the right side to even both sides? Can I go 1 degree out side on the left and 0.5 degree to the right out wards? I had been running 1's top outside corners like Bayer's set ups....which makes me think, if Bayer runs his with the same off set block, maybe we can as well? I mean, a little slop in the arms and hubs and they kinda change toe in anyhow, (look at an AE buggy, lol) maybe we're making a bigger deal out of this on the bench than in actual practice at the track?

the 13 front is not the same as the 14/15 front.. It will fit, but not identical.

With zero inserts and the offset hanger, the right side toe is 3.5 and left side is 2.5
The only way to get back to 3.0 both sides is modify the inserts or xray stepping up and making the hanger right.

If you put a .5 out on the left side and 0 on right it's pretty close to 3.5 both sides. I haven't measured the inserts but someone here posted that .5 insert is .5 degrees not .5 mm. Or put the .5 in on right side and 0 on left side and it will be close to 2.5 deg per side.

Gotcha, thanks. I wasn't sure if the block was off set in such a way that it affected one side more than the other (left side is 3 degrees, the right side is 3.5 degrees) or both the sides the same like you described (2.5L & 3.5R).

I think somewhere in the manual it says that:
.5 insert = .375mm = .5 degrees
1 insert = .75mm = 1 degree

And there again we have that curious conflict of what the inserts say they do vs. the measurements you took. If zeros have them at 2.5/3.5, a .5 on the left should only change it to 3.0/3.5, but they seem very even with that setup, which according to your measure of the right arm in that position should be 3.5 deg.........can anybody get that setup on an accurate board and get an overall toe reading?.....
The book says that zeros should be 3 deg, so going with a .5 out on the left should have it at 3.25 deg total if they are even. I haven't tried it yet but I'll have to take a look at what happens when you go with a 1 deg out on the left, though I'm guessing it throws it back off with the left having more toe.

The book does say .5 deg=.375mm, 1 deg=.75mm
