Anyone run the fan mounted waterfall listed on Shapeway's website? Opinions? Body fitment? TIA.

I ran it for about a month. I had to turn my Orion motor to the side because the connections were in the way. Also fan was rubbing the paint off the body as body was sitting right on top of fan. I ended up removing it because of those issues. I used some two face tape and mounted fan on frame on the side of the motor. Works great less problems.

Anyone know what these "flow control" pistons from RCshox are? Xray has mostly superior products in most categories. Pistons unfortunately are not one of them. thx

Hello! I upgrade fan mount from Bman's 3XNT
Now you do not need to saw the fan, everything fits perfectly.
I used nylon nuts and ordered aluminum screws.
Printed with 0,2mm nozzle from PETG, very light and strong.

You guys still liking your XB2's? Medium to high bite clay. Looking at this or YZ2, 22 4.0. Does this car need a lot of upgrades? Thanks.

Loving my xb2 and not just making this statement because I own one. Car is just that dang good. You may pay $30-$40 bucks more for this kit but imo it's great outta the box with no additional upgrades needed to be really competitive. Ran other buggies in the past but have not found one built to this quality yet. Just for an example when it comes to a light drivetrain the xb2 gear diff is right @ 21grams built with diff oil in it and now let's look @ a TLR gear diff that weighs in @ 33grams complete with diff oil added. That 12 gram diff just in the diff is huge advantage especially if running 17.5 class. You will not be disappointed with the Xray

Upgrades? Pistons, as far as performance on high bite clay, using one of tessmans setups as a starting point, the car was not that great. It was drivable, but not as planted as I would like, and the bouciness of the rear shocks in the ruts causes the car to get upset, so you will need to tune that out. Pistons will hopefully fix it a long with heavier oils. I also got the exotek brass FR hinge pin brace to keep the rear from spinning out. Our local track went through a full rebuild and it has carpet like qualities to the grip level. Out of the box my YZ-2 DTM is a better experience. Still needed to add weight under the gearbox to get the rear end settled, but after that I didn't need to tune much else. Seems both cars are extremely durable as well. But in the long run, if I can get the XB2 tuned to the way I like the car, it will last longer with the ability to change drive pins before the outdrive pit will be a huge plus,. though Yokomo complete drive shafts for a pair are the cost of one XRAY drive shaft new. All in all, something different on both cars from the "big three" K, AE, and TLR. And much better quality and durability. Buy what you want and get it running to your satisfaction. In my opinion the XB2 has a much higher learning curve in regards to tuning, but it can be made to run just as good as other cars.

The stock aluminum chassis is very stiff and the car is easy to drive. The CF chassis is going to need the hard plastics because it flexes more and creates more grip than the stock chassis. If you don't run the hard plastics on the CF chassis, it will flex to much and the car will not rotate in the corners like it should. It will also cause the inner rear wheel to come up off of the ground causing the car to diff out. The other advantage of the CF is the weight savings and the ability to add weight in the car where it will help the most. I would suggest following the most recent EOS setups from the xray drivers. Depending on your driving level would determine whether or not the CF chassis would be a better fit for most on carpet.
