Anyone tried the brass 29 front kick up yet? How does it effect over all handling?

I got an email back from exotek.
A new hanger has been designed, and will be ready in 3 weeks. Mike is TREMENDOUS, and took my offset suggestion into the design as well. In this situation, he will build it so the centered bushings in front and rear will give 3 degrees of toe instead of the 4 degrees the stock hanger has built in.
This is HUGE for the high grip guys looking to free the car up and gain more corner speed.

diffs
I'm surprised there's so much talk of rear hangers and so little about ball diffs. I thought my bad ball diff was a fluke because it came to me assembled wrong, but every other XB2 I've felt has had a bad diff. It feels like the rings aren't flat. Bind, free, bind... Just makes the rear end completely unpredictable.
It's hard to imagine it's an uncommon problem when I've observed a 100% incidence rate in the handful of local samples.

On the rear hangar - I've run well over 100 packs on grey ozite over asphalt and some clay and have had no problem with it breaking. I will say that I looked at my XB4 - the chassis will hit first because the hangar on the XB4 doesn't hang down like the XB2 CE does.

After a few nights I'm having some solid results with my xb2 carpet edition on clay. It will traction roll if you land wrong and does not tolerate over driving.

so guys i have a xray xb4 16' and a tlr 22 3.0. i was about to turn my 3.0 into a carpet only buggy with the new laydown trans coming out.
however all the money i will need to do this i could just sell my tlr and get a brand new xb2 CE for the same or less money.
have any of you had a tlr 22 3.0? do you think its a good idea to get the xb2? i feel like its more setup for carpet right out of the box and i will be happier with it. also how is the durability? lastly i wouldnt mind matching with my xray xb4 as well...
