Talk with Eric at SCVRC, definitely very knowledgeable with the XB4, I'm sure he can get you in the right direction.

Does anyone have any specific tips on shock building to get zero rebound while still having no air in the shock?
i have less experience with the bleed screw style of shocks, and am more used to touring shocks with bladders.
I followed the instructions in the manual, but ended up with either air in the shock, positive or negative rebound, or a combination of air and rebound.
if there is a special trick, or even just something in the xray instructions that I should pay special or close attention to, I would greatly appreciate some guidance.

Are you trying to build them with zero rebound? I found the manual to be pretty darn good for shock building. Key is to make sure all the bubbles are gone before screwing on cap.

I am trying to build with zero rebound, yes.
I am always careful to make sure there is no air in the shock before I assemble the cap, and use a shock pump to remove any traces of air.
When filling the shock to the top, should the oil be "crowning" over the edge, or should there be a meniscus, where the oil level in the center is slightly below the edge of the shock?

Anyone weight their buggy? Important for 13.5 class. B64 is coming on at around 1775 grams. Think the xb4 'at be lighter

Looking to convert my XB4 back to the 2 pad slipper setup - so I can use a 69T spur for 17.5 stock class in Australia.
Seems "364120" slipper clutch plate is getting a bit few and far between.
Does anyone know if there is an alternative from another brand?

Quick question. Why the hell did they put rear 67mm driveshafts instead of 68 on the '17 model? Im banging my head to figure out why. Im playing Rear Outter holes on bushings and driveshafts are on the edge of the couplings from the diff.

Using the outher positions brings it above EFRA and IFMAR legal width when using anything but narrow astro / carpet tires.
The XB4 is designed to be raced under the EFRA and IFMAR rule book and development is of course focused on maximum performance under these rules
