Throttle control is going to be a big part of the car jumping. But I want the car to be predictable when flying through the air and 2degree anti squat was never an issue with jumping. I always moved weight around to quickly balance the car when jumping. Most won't do that as it will change handling in turns. Again more anti squat will make Suspension stiffer. I will play with that also.

What upgrade parts are necessary out of the box? Is it competitive like the b5m lite out of the box with nothing added?

You don't need any parts. Just race the car and buy tires.

club raced the car for a second time last night. I came in second and drove the fastest overall time that I've ever done on the current layout. Running nate jaskot's club race smactrac setup (my home track is similar to smactrac). Car feels planted and I feel is quicker through the in-field than my b5m. It also feels more responsive than my b5m. I actually have to adjust my controller to tone down the steering.
One of my friends is running the box stock setup and likes the car, also.
Loving this car. I want to try a few more adjustments to see if I can get even more speed out of the car.
My hinge pins in the front arm started coming out. I needed to put some ballstud shims as a temporary measure to keep them from sliding out. Other than than, build quality and design is awesome. Can't wait to get my body from my painter. Will post up when I get it.

Ran the car last night for the first time. I definitely did not like the box setup. Absolutely way too soft, car would just dump and roll hard.
Went to 35wt front, 32.5 rear losi oil. Still with the 3x1.3's which will be coming out for 2 hole 1.6s front and rear. Went to AE whites front and rear and this helped immensely. The car was numb, and this gave it a lot more feel. I'm also at 3 degrees rear toe and 1 degree anti squat.

i was looking at the xray website.. and noticed that they took the rear motor stuff off the page showing the xb2 stuff..
also noticed.. they changed the shock position information.. shocks mounted in front of the rear tower.. should be for high traction.. behind the tower for low traction..

I have a ton of VTR 2.4 Electrons with VTR and AKA Evo rims. What do I need to get these to fit on the XB2 and can this also be used for the 2.2mm in AE offset? thank much all. look forward to the build
