I have the 16 xb4 and I run a 13.5. I could not be happier with it. It is very durable and it drives awesome.

I am really torn between what i want to get next. I am looking at the xb4 2016, dex410v5 or a 2wd buggy. For now, my question below
Has anyone driven both the xb4 2016 and the dex410v5? if you have, which would you consider to be nicer kit and better value? They are basically the same price, and i dont have a local hobby shop or a local track so parts availability is not a concern and i dont have the ability to drive other cars other than what i own myself.

I have not owned the DEX410v5 but have owned the v3 and many other wheelers. The Xray XB4 16 is far superior to them all, believe me. It needs nothing out of the box, not even spares. About the only thing you could break is a front a arm if you hit something really hard, hing pins and maybe rear hubs... the car is really head and shoulders tougher than the rest. Oh, and its by far the easiest to work on, period.

Anyone know what the intended purpose is between these two different graphite gear diff bevel and satellite gears XRA304932 (Low) & XRA304931?
Thanks
Thanks

the materials are different, the new gears are stronger than the old composite gears. The diff assembles as per the xb4 16 manual...

Thanks, I thought there might have been a dimensional change with them being the (low) gear set.

Need some help with getting a base line gearing for my new XB4, running a 6.5 on carpet. I've tried multiple different combinations but the darn thing still get screaming hot FAST! Last combo i tried was 18/84, and after 2 minutes the motor was around 185. I've tried going down in pinion, going up in spur, up in pinion... Seems the popular 18/81 is just too tall for this track, as were some other combos i tried, so far the best feeling was 16/84 but even that was getting super hot... Im kind of at a loss with what to do and where to go with it.
Track: Small, tight very high grip. 10-11 second lap times.
Temp: Southern Alabama so right now were looking at 100+ ambient temps.
Electronics: SMC 160A, SMC 6.5 (did have RSX and Gen 3 6.5 but epic meltdown happened)
Kit: Brand new, super free drive train nothing binding, gear mesh properly set. Fan on ESC, Fan on motor. Schumacher minipins/cut staggers
