A couple of laps from carpet practice today with the Xb4 '16.
CRC carpet and Clik-Track barriers
Track opened a couple of days ago and is still under construction.
More elements will be added but finally we have a place to practice close by in the winter time

Thank you Bent. I was planning on buying a yz-4 and may still do so but after building the new 16 I was so impressed by the quality and fit and finish that I'm gonna buy one... I got to turn some laps with it too and it was quite good but needed a little work(first pack on the car was as fast as my bmax4 III), the car had too much turn in and too much on power mid corner push (box setul).... any suggestions or should I just try the Martin Bayer/Malin clay setup?

I ran the 15 car with the center dif with the motor rear and left and servo right in shorty with oils F7k/C60k/R5K. Shocks F42.5/R37.5. I mimicked this setup on my 16 car and it felt alright but not as smooth as the 15 car did with those settings. Shocks were good, changed rear dif to 7k and the car felt much better. Also removed the rear center stiffener on suggestion. This, to me, made the car less twitchy. Ride height was 22mm/F&R. It's damn good on clay like this.
What rear center stiffener did you remove. I didnt know they had anything that could be removed besides the screws on the bottom of the chassis for flex. a part number would be great. thanks for the help

Just switched to center on my xb4 2015, the car just feels so much better for me.
Hi bentka do you have setup for low to medium dirt with pretty big jumps (for a 1/10th).
Right now i'm using 5 - 100k - 3
the car felt really good most of the day but as it got dustier it became a bit loose in the rear and a bit twitchy. Still drivable though.

12 degree castor blocks with help out a lot also raise the front link and try a shorty servo and 15k in front diff. I always play around with steering epa also as a quick fix. Get the xb4! It's such a precise car that is super easy to work on, it's been my favorite wheeler for the past few years.

Thanks, I'm already running the front link in the upper hole in the tower... I was hoping I would need to buy the 12° caster blocks... I'm gonna try Martin/Malins clay setup, i just need some springs and a swaybar...if that doesn't give me what I'm looking for I'll buy the 12° caster blocks. ..

I have an XB4 coming my way, can someone recommend a good starting setup for medium to high bite clay tracks? Specifically for OCRC, LRH and other local California tracks.

Does anyone know how much wider the new style bodies are compared to the 2014 version? I cannot find a body for my 2014 anywhere.
Also wondering what the actual part number would be for the older style.

The only things I would do off the bat is get some of the Schelle pistons. 1.6x2 front and 1.1/1.5 x 4 rear. play with the oils a bit.
