prime blues front and back, SXT sauce, 19mm ride height, 8.5...I can't rember what oil or pistons I have in it but I am using X-ray 2 dot front and rear springs.....also not too sure what oil is in the diff.......car was super awesome and super fast.....then last raceday traction dropped off after half a race. I am confused because I haven't made any changes....
Check your oils. There has to be a reason it suddenly went from good to bad. Your setup doesn't randomly start sucking mid way through a run.

Sounds to me like the tires went bad.

The driveshafts supplied are 67mm and the manual specs 68mm. The driveshaft pin looks dangerously close to coming out of the outdrive at full droop? Is this an update?
.....and 67mm is a considered a update?

This is from running the team cars for several months back to back with the old 68 mm.
They are now also stock on the XB4

Hey everyone -
Got to take my new xb2c out last night. I guess the guys at the track were saying the kit spur is too big and for mod? I was only able to fit a 28 pinion in and it was okay to run but not enough to race. What spur are you guys running? We run 17.5 turn stock class. The track is medium size as seen here:

80 ft by 30 ft
Also the body paint started to chip based on rubbing on internal components. Is there a way to make the paint not rub off? I was going to just put a bit of shoe goo where it was rubbing. Thanks!!!

Yeah, you will need to change you spur gear for sure. You will want something like this.

Thanks!
While I am putting in an order for amain anything else that's a must have? I see a few people talking about the copper weight in front.
Looking at my track, any starting point for shock oils?
Some folks were talking about locking off their slipper - I didn't notice any problems with it but I am not a pro racer.
Thanks!!!
EDIT: Just saw you linked an eliminator - so I am guessing you recommend not running the slipper on this carpet?

Are you running the gear diff? I believe most stock racers run a slipper eliminator. I don't believe any weight is needed since it looks like your running on carpet? Play around with battery placement. Are you running 1.6x2 front and 1.7x2 pistons rear in the shocks?
The carpet is green outdoor carpet that you can get at local hardware stores. I have stagger in front and mini pins in the rear, they seem to bite well and turn okay without traction rolling. I wouldn't mind tighter turning though.
My shock oil is from the kit at 500csr in the front and 400csr in the rear, both at 0% rebound (as close as I could get to it, it still maybe goes 10% or so)
My shocks are 1.5mm 2 hole in front and 1.7mm 2 hole in rear.

Yes on the gear diff, I am totally stock from the kit, first buggy ever. The gear oil is 5000cst. Should I buy a ball diff for it?
