If ease of conversion/convenience plays a role in your decision in buggy selection, the xb2 is the easiest buggy to change diffs, gearboxes, etc with minimal work. My 2 cents
I am trying to choose a new buggy, and while one track near me is going carpet, there is also a dirt track going up. So if not sure which kit to buy, and i'd like to be able to setup car to run either . . . is it cheaper to get carpet and get the parts to convert, or vice versa? To be honest I am leaning towards the dirt version if I can simply convert it to laydown if I need it.
any thoughts?

And not all shipments have reached every corner of the world yet.
You have to remember the new kit is still not officially released yet and the kits obviously have priority on the new parts.
But production is going full speed so most distributors and shops will have stock of the new parts very soon

I got the xb2 '17 here in europe. First 2wd buggy for me and addition beside the xb4 '16. Built it friday and raced it today in local "winter season opener race". Build was effortless again, xray quality (so much less work to build than 4wd part wise).
Kit comes straight with 2x1.6 and 2x1.7 which is nice! I built it straigth with the kit setup. We have medium grip tight carpet track and the car was great, maybe little more turning in should been good but still manageable. I managed to get win in my first 2wd race, 2nd place was xb2 '17 also. First test in practise rounds was at morning!
In the build manual there was in the instructions 3x1.7 pistons for back, I had to double check. More proof reading next time
Question for Bentka. I'm going to get the needed alu bits etc. for EOS carpet but we have in our winter series with low to medium grip indoor concrete/quarry tile style tight tracks. Can you list in order which option parts are good to have in lower grip, considering value/effectiveness. The graphite chassis in example seems to be expensive and much work for one weekend at lower grip track, if you catch my drift. Thanks

Any of you lucky punters that already have the '17 able to list the differences to the '16 car? My current YZ2 CA is due for a replacement and a XB2 is on my radar.

Finally have my car really good, other than needing just a smidge more steering for our tight turf track. The car is perfect through the sweepers and lesser angle corners, but just doesnt have enough in the 180's and I have to stab the brake to get the car to rotate. Would a longer link up front help that at all? Im running center on the tower, and inside on the hub(inside as towards the car and not towards the wheel). Im not sure if I want to try to loosen the rear up as if it gets any looser in the rear it may want to step out on the sweeper.
