I'm gonna try the 302077 bearing holders. They should give a tad more slack in the belt. My car was plenty fast over the weekend. Won at both tracks. I'm just scared of prematurely wearing out my bearings.
This is my layout. I switched from the LRP to the Tekin to get electronics space on this car.

So i was looking over my xray tonight, just trying to plan out how I am going to lay out my electronics... and I found a question. Does anybody ever mount their receicer... standing on its side, in FRONT of the battery? A typical micro receiver, standing on its side clears both the little slot for battery tape, and the steering assembly / tire. It would seem to me a decent way to get a more natural balance out of the car.
Is this a good idea? bad idea? something I am not thinking of?

Xray shocks Rant !!!!!!
Why oh why are xray still using these crappy shocks !!!! years of development and the shock are still crap. For the price I paid for the kit I expect alloy shock bodies not cheapy plastic 
Any advise on building these things would be handy before I throw them in the bin

Like Drew said just follow the directions. The "crappy" shocks are very good if you get them right. I reccomend buying a Hudy Shock Tool. This will stop nearly all leaking problems if you get it tight enough.

When trying to set rebound etc, do it all with the shock upside down.
When pushing the shock rod in and out to set the rebound do it VERY VERY slowly, and return it slowly.
It's a painfull process which I also hate, so try to get them to match the first time.
In case you're wondering, the alloy shocks are no easier to fill and set the rebound!

I wish we did run mod out here! Maybe I just need to move to Europe! Hey, do you guys run any asphalt out there? My friend was thinking about heading that way during the summer just to get out and try different tracks.

But seriously, there's nothing wrong with them. What problem are you having with them?

I was wondering if i can get some opinions. preferably unbiased opinions, but I know that might be asking too much since this is a topic specific thread, but here it is.
I am going to be buying a new touring car for carpet, but not sure if I should get a '009 or not and here is why.
A couple of years ago I sold my corally RDX for a '007. Not for any particular reason, I mean I liked my RDX, I just wanted to try an xray. I liked the quality and craftmanship of xray. Well, i hated the 007. I was slower with the '007, i even talked to people from ralph burch to Paul himself about set-up and nothing worked for me. By that time the corally PHI came out and I bought one of those and I love it. But I still catch myself browsing the xray website and checking things out. Well the corally '09 is coming out and I am finding myself wanting to try another xray. Now I am sure the '009 is a better car than the '007 was and I am allot better driver I was 2 years ago, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the previous experience. so, should I Stay with Corally, or try Xray again?
