Nothing new
But the RR suspension holder has been beefed up a bit to withstand even more abuse

So medium arms, uprights etc. will be optional on the '17 XB2 CE.
Ours where obviously pre-production kits with everything included even though they where labeled like the others.
Sorry about that

With less front to rear weight transfer due to motor rotation you will get a little bit less traction but a lot more corner speed.
You can now carry your speed through the corner instead of having to wait for the weight to shift forward entering corners and to the rear exiting corners.
Makes a world of difference to an already awesome platform and will bridge the gap the B6 and YZ2CA have had for a few months now

The corner speed and ease of driving on high grip improves a lot.

also what gearbox would you recommend on med-high bite clay electrons or slicks for tires?

We even run it in the wet on astro as long as we are allowed to change to wet tires. It does have a little bit less traction than the 4 gear, but not much

New XRAY XB2C17 Online Now
The new 1/10 off-road RC racing car XRAY XB2C17 is now disclosed in a detailed presentation at:
https://teamxray.com/xb2c/2017/en/
2017 All-new Features:
Motor Position:
To increase traction, steering and high-speed stability, the motor position was changed from left to right position. This new position achieves a different motoric moment which improves handling in most typical track conditions.
Gear Box:
The lightweight, tiny gear box has a new internal design, accommodating a new 3-gear configuration as a result of the new right-side motor position.
Gear Box Gears:
With the all-new right side motor position and new gear box, the internal gears of the gear box are also new. The new large 36T gear which fits the new 3-gear configuration is moulded from premium graphite composite to ensure maximum life, high strength, and minimal weight.
Motor Plate:
The black-coated Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum motor plate has a new design to accommodate the new right-side motor position.
The motor plate holds the slipper clutch assembly as well as the gear box, and features an adjustable motor plate position. To reinforce the assembly, the motor plate is connected to the upper brace mount via a motor plate brace.
I.S.S.TM Suspension Holders:
To improve reliability and strength the Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum suspension holders were reinforced and strengthened.
The aluminum suspension holders feature Integrated Suspension Settings (I.S.S.) which allows for quick & easy suspension geometry set-up.
Using eccentric suspension bushings which are inserted into Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum suspension blocks as well as additional shims and turnbuckles, the XB2 suspension geometry can be completely adjusted:
camber
toe-in
rear roll-center
anti-squat
track-width
Shock Pistons:
Shock pistons are made from Delrinฎ and are molded using ultra-high precision moulds. All-new 2-hole pistons (1.6mm and 1.7mm holes) are now included in the set.

i admittedly didnt try many things, so im hoping i can get the 17 CE to work.
Bent, as always thank you so much for remaining active in these forums - many of us really appreciate hearing it as close from the horses mouth as possible!!! invaluable.

i was already having a bit of a traction issue with the 16' CE, do you think I can make the 17 CE work on med-high bite clay (slicks and/or electrons for tires)?

Xray carbon chassis also adds quite a bit of traction on low to medium.
Can be a bit nervous to drive if grip is too high though.

Had same experience. XRAY carbon chassis made all the difference. Had a tough time running treads on a medium bite track. Out of curiousity I took my xb2 out with the hi bite setup just to see how it would work expecting it to be horrible. Ended up racing it with a gear diff and shocks on front with electrons. Really makes a difference. I don't know why I never see them in the US
