Recommending a laydown car for OCRC is a bold move. You sure that's a good choice?
Personally? I'd run the dirt car there...But you asked the internet, and you'll get an answer that's worth what you paid; nothing.

Re: Indoor clay
I do see a few CE's always selling. Wonder why?

My CE was garbage at ocrc. I used a ball diff. My CE was worlds better at LRH and SCVRC.
I have a DE waiting to be built. So far I've yet to meet another xb2 owner in SoCal.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I have just finished building my XB2 Carpet. I purchased it because I wanted to race on the carpet track in vegas. Secondly, I know the XB2 platform can be converted to DE spec. I purchased a ball diff so I can switch, and I'd probably grab a "stand up" style transmission case too. I don't mind purchasing the extra parts so I have a range of parts in between the CE and DE version. I like the idea of a platform, in which you have a full range of overall stiffness and hardness for the car. With the range of composites from medium to hard and CF, you can tune for any track condition.
As I mentioned I bought this car to run on a carpet off road track, I am moving to Costa Mesa on friday so I expect to be part of the OCRCArmy soon. So I will be running my CE here after Vegas. I will probably start by going to a stand up transmission and medium parts. CE comes with medium parts and hard. I will also switch to the ball diff. I've run gear diffs at OCRC before on other cars like the Durango and the ball diff was always better.

I don't race away from home much anymore but I'm in SoCal and I have xb2 2016s and 2 xb4 2016s. I'm trying to get the xb2s sorted out but the xb4s are pretty dialed. It's not easy to be the only one at the track with an xb2 but it'll be well worth it if I can get them figured out.

There's a guy running an xb2 ce at OCRC and I'm pretty sure he's looking to convert it to de. See if you can find him and talk to him before you buy the car.
He wears an Amain hat. Just ask around, or ask Nick Black at the counter. People will help you find him. Talk to him about what he thinks. He has his ce really nicely dialed for OCRC, but I thought he told me that he was going to try the de gearbox.

Hey All, I searched but didn't find much in the way of answers on Alum Servo Arms? What is everyone using? I prefer the clamping if possible so I'm thinking this unit should be perfect:

Seems to be exactly the same length as the stock plastic and very similar in shape.
