So I'm 95% with the car at this point. It's fast, and has stellar rear bite. Really looking for a bit more rotation and corner speed. The front likes to stall a little mid corner.
Going to add a little weight on the front and see the affect.

We shouldn't shoot the messenger. If you were to graph the complaints directed at Bent, and Bent's participation in the thread, you would see a perfectly inverted correlation. I find Bent's help very valuable and hopefully he begins posting here more often again. my 2cents

More as a joke is why I said it. Just a little giggle, really.
That said, I will shy away from the updated part; it still doesn't fix the insane 4 degrees of toe in the stock block. The exotek part will reset toe to 3 degrees, and this will allow me to play with the narrow and wide pivot while staying at 3 degrees toe.

Sorry if I've missed if already posted , What is the final drive ratio of the XB2 DE with 3 gear ?

Same as the 4 gear. 2.65 times the pinion/spur ratio. The only difference is one less idler, but they are the same size. Thus the same gear ratio.
#2813
Adding 10 grams...

Thanks for the reply about FD ratio .

Wow!!! What an unbelievable car. I've been doing quite a bit of changes to the CE car and it seems that with each and every change it just keeps getting better and better. One of the easiest things that I've done is change the front Camber link to the outside of the front bulkhead and on the outside of the front C block w/the same spacers. Wow!!!! The car is so much more responsive now. And the rear of the car seems to rotate a heck of a lot better.

Do not run the 22 servo horn. You won't get full throw.
Run the protek clamping.

Wanted to throw this out there regarding the small screws holding (not) the hinge pins in place. On a whim I purchased the screws below. The heads are ~.2mm wider than the ones supplied by Xray. They hold the pins as designed. Of course YMMV. I tried the washers as suggested in an earlier post but what I found was on the front corners of the A-arm, the front wheels would rub on the screws (with washers installed) at full throw as the screws were out too far. This is on my DE edition. Funny that my CE car does not have these issues.
