I'm switching to Xray on off-road since my sponsorship on on-road. I've picked up the'17 CE and the carbon chassis. Any other recommendations to get the CE working on med grip dirt off-road? What have people broken, so I can get a few spares? Also heard it was a good idea to get the longer shock bottoms, thoughts?

Make sure its the xray carbon, which i'm sure you did. Brass Hangers are key. For me, the long rod ends on the rear for low-medium grip worked well. I also preferred a lower roll center with the pills facing down. 3-4 degrees toe. I like the long bushing on the top on the front spindles, as I found this gave me a lot more steering. Also added 0 slot steering plates, as the ackerman added a lot of steering as well. Also only 1mm on the front tower. If you're not getting enough side bite moving the shocks in on the rear tower really helps but sacrifices rotation.

Spindles down should decrease steering on corner exit, so that's very interesting!
What do you mean only 1mm on the front tower? I didn't notice, but are there low roll center and high roll center parts for the DE and CE respectively?

You're losing 60g with the carbon chassis so the rf brass hanger is a good place to add some weight back. Had the bushing on the bottom of the spindle for months thinking more steering and flipped them and I got more steering. I liked only 1mm shin for the front tower camber link too. No addtl high or low roll center parts I'm aware of. However the exited rear aluminum camber link mount is -2mm

Just happen to be going through the 17 manual and noticed that the spur gear says 84T included...What made them change from 81T to 84T ?
I added the 3 gear to my 16, but still using the stock 81T.....
Anyone with a 16 car make that change as well?
Also, should we be making a pinion gear change to accommodate, if we stayed with the 81T that comes with 16 car?.....(assuming they went to a 84T because of the 3 gear..)

Stripped 2 of them and lost 2 ball studs and shims in the process.... finally upgraded to the aluminum version.
