I haven't gone through this whole thread. However I just ran my xb4 for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. My only issue was that one of the pins holding the cvd's in just shot out. I didn't see any sign of it going through the plastic cover. Is this a common occurance and also what parts should I keep on hand for races? Thank you
I've ran this on my car for some time now and it seem to work perfectly. Sorry for the picture quality. As you see, I am not one of those going for a clean look under the hood

Ahh thats a good idea, like a packing to hold the pin in and the cover tight. The pin didn't even go through the cover, it somehow came out.. Was the front left driveshaft pin.

the plastic might bend a bit when the pin gets out, and might not leave a mark in the safety collar. maybe the plastic is getting hot or similar.

Pardon my ignorance, but who makes them? I was so bummed when the pin came out.. I got this buggy to solve my durability issue I was having with the 22-4.

XB4 2014 Spur Issues
Looking for some help!!
I have a XB4 2014, first batch shipment that we've had spur issues from day 1. I've tried just about everything. We've tried multiple new Xray spurs, both 81 and 78 tooth. Tried multiple, new pinions, Xray, TLR, Robinson.
Today, I had the owner of my LHS (RCE) look at it, and he could not see any mesh issues, motor alignment looked true. So last attempt was to try new xray pionion, new xray spur, very loose slipper. Took out the motor, remounted it, turn down radio trottle to 50%, turn off brakes and ran the xb4 around 15 soft laps around the track. Well, the spur showed some sign that it would still be an issue as it has a few small teeth that looked worn.
Brought it back to the front where the LHS Ownere looked at it, and he no ideas. He suggested I call RC America Monday and see if they have heard of this issue.
There are 2 other guys at my track, that seem to have similar issues. I can't speak for them, but they are also having spur issues, but I can't speak for them on what they have tried, or I don't know how they have their slipper, mesh etc set. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

Is there a place that sells spec-r parts? I feel like shipping from China would take a while.

I have 2 xb4's and 1 xb4/2 and they all have zero spur issues. Call/email RC America. Maybe you have a messed up bulkhead or slipper assembly

Inspect very carefully the way the motor mount is turned on the motor, it has a lip on it and if it is the wrong way its will feel safely secured, but it can move around. refer to the manual for the correct orientation.
I hope this helps
