Here are my fixes for the intial issues with the XB4.
For the front bulkhead, I made a brace. My frontbulk head is actually broken, but with the brace is working fine. I attached a picture of the brace, it was handmade so its not perfect.
For the CVD plastic pin retainers, I have been using some DEX410 parts.
Team Durango Driveshaft Bushing
Team Durango B-Type Driveshaft Pin Set (2.0mm)
These pins use a set screw and will not fly out.
For the leaky shocks I have been using the DEX410 Orings.
Team Durango 10x1mm Shock Cap O-Ring Set
Hope this helps some people.
I am hoping Team SR looks at my brace and makes a nice one.

This post is right on with the Durango parts for the XB4 cvd's. Part #'s 310113 & 310120. You will also need set screws.

When building the diffs with the NT1 gears and the new 35t gear did you notice the fit being "tight" ? due to both being "thicker" than original parts. I have a second car on the bench waiting for metal gears and am curious to see how the fit is.
We've been using the NT1 gears and lightweight alu. pins since "day 1" and have just over 4 weeks, 2 races and countless batteries in practice with the new 35T diff gear as well.
Runs as smooth as ever and not a single issue so far
NT1 gear set = 335030
Lightweight hard coated alu. pins = 335081
Now to mount the new aluminum shock caps
This buggy just keeps getting better and better

Nope......just as smooth as the original setup after a couple of battery packs and a change of oil (which you always do when building new diffs)
We have been running NT1 gears for months now.
They do have a different "sound" to them but they are just as smooth.
We also run the drive shaft pins with flat spot and drive shaft couplings for set screws.

Anyway, 24.75 XRAY wheel vs a 26.75 STD 2WD wheel inset gives a delta of 2mm. My XRAY hexes measured 4.99mm wide for me, so I was looking for a 6.99mm wide 12mm hex to use. I heard the SCTE hexes could be used, but my spare ones measured 4.27mm.
I looked at the various hubs for my 22 line, including 22SCT and found the 22SCT stock fronts to be 6.76mm which is close enough to me. Looking at both sides it's a hair under .5mm total difference in width.
A slight dremel to widen the slot in the hex so that the XRay pin fit and it looks like it's gonna work out just great.
Hopefully that helped someone and made up for my ignorant rear toe post.

First night out with the baby, finally! Gotta admit first qualifier round I was all over the place. But by the amain event, i was running very consistent laptimes! I could definitely get used to this car!
And btw, this car is built like a tank!
Thumbs up XRAY!

Now that I post this I'm sure next time out I'll have a problem... Lol.
I have my original diff gears with no issues or sounds. They are perfectly smooth and feel the same as the day I built them, after about 300 minutes of track practice and race time through them.
Am I the only one with no issues?
Should I be worried?
I have some spare metal gears from my old NT1 stuff, should I go ahead and put them in?

Well I raced my xb4 for the first time tonight. The first and second qualifiers couldn't have been much worse, but by the main the setup was good thanks to some help a team driver gave me from our last big race. I went from running 19 laps with a fast lap of 17.2 to running 21 laps with a fast lap of 15.7 and I managed to win the A main! The buggy was much better, but it still has an on edge feel to it.
