Standard servo too narrow
Interesting, even with the exotek slipper eliminator? Also, I have a reedy 1206 a standard size servo. When mounted it is too narrow with the kit servo mounts to line up with the screw holes in the chssis. How is everyone getting standard sized servos to fit? Thx
something to add about the slipper eliminator add that xray released.. it says you can go 30t-35t with 69t spur..
we noticed on the DE edition of the car.. as well as verifying with Joe and a few others on XB2 nation.. the DE, with 69t spur.. you cant go lower than a 32t pinion.. i raced 32 last week.. and nothing stripped.. but.. its not as tight as i would like mesh wise.. 31t wont fit with 69t spur.
i think with the CE, mackenzie showed that you could get down to 31, possibly even 30. not certain on that though..

I am building my kit this week (carpet edition) and going to run this with a 6.5 brushless motor, which pinion should I best start with?

not all offroad tracks are high traction, indoor, clay, treated, carpet and so on. for many indoor racing is for winter months only and we go back outside for warmer months. rear motor buggies on out door dirt tracks are still ruling in 17.5 classes on bumpy loose loam tracks. i have seen racers with $400-1300 dollar mid motor buggies revert back older rear motor cars. i thought at first to maintain the pristine appearance of their cars and not get them dirty, but after some questioning, they overall say rear motor in better. now in modified, it's mixed, and some drivers that are sponsored have their hands tied which i won't mention brands, but then again they are sponsored and very good to the point it don't matter where the motor is. that being said indoors they run stock, majority drop it outdoors

Daniel (anyone) - How did you fit the medium AE springcups on? Did you use AE tie Rod ends?they didn't seem like they were snug so I used most of your setup but with kit springs. Was chassis slapping a lot but wow! What insane steering. In any event best way to fit the cups? Also - what would be the closest XRAY equivalent for yellow and gray springs. Thx!

i got my setup posted on the xray site.. yall have seen my track conditions.. and my car is velcro.. i havent changed much from JoeAD setup.. rear gear diff.. also rear shock locations are different.. and rear upper link locations are a little different as well.. and tons of traction..
i might add.. this setup has alot of steering as well.. likes to be driven hard..

Unfortunately the tracks that benefit a rear motor car are few and far between, the mass majority of tracks are best suited for a mid motor car. It's not just Xray that has decided this, AE, Losi, Yokomo, and Durango have all come to the same conclusion. I'd also assume Kyosho will also drop the rear motor option if they ever update the RB6.

Anyway yea I didn't mean i didnt have faith in mid motor, i was on that band wagon since one guy showed up at the track with an xfactory conversion. Since this car has so many possibilities a rear motor option would really make it the do it all car thats all.
