the 2017 xb2 is essentially the same as the yok carpet car. The yok carpet car is 349.00. Its one of the few kits that matches quality of materials with the xray. If you think ae or losi are a better value at 309.00 ask the guy who replaces the plastics every 10 runs or so if they think the car is a good value.
The 2017 comes with the optional trans where the 16 did not. Is that not worth the cost of those suspension parts? Seems kinda like a wash to me.

Wondering how many people have seen excessive wear on the out drives and pins.

I have very minimal wear on out drives. Replaced pins after 4 months of racing twice per week. Out drives had an issue with a very small percentage of gear diff users early I saw on the internet. I never saw anyone with issues in person. I always considered aftermarket parts a downgrade and only bought them to save money. One thing is the diff seems to slip easily and likes to be set real tight.

I used my car total of 7 times about about 5-7 hrs total run time on high grip carpet with gear diff. Significant wear on both out drive and pins. I will replace both with original parts, would not consider using any other parts. Hopefully the wear will be better 2nd time around.

here's a small tech tip. i take a dremel and I very lightly smooth out the marks on the outdrives from the pins at the same time as i swap in new pins that way the outdrives don't get big grooves in them.
however be careful with this you don't want to take off much material at all. just only to smooth the groove to get a little more life out of them, and don't do this every time, only when there's a noticeable groove. My outdrive's have lasted me almost a year so far and they look perfect, still much life in them.

Am I correct in stating that the differences in the two are a four gear laydown tranny and the optimized three gear.

how come they beefed up the RR and didn't include more locktite and locktite instructions
jokes but glad to see xray includes what is actually used - makes life easier. the less parts to buy after the kit the better these kits will do. a lot of people like having a ready to go car from the kit.
