Default Xray X10 to WGTR

What is needed to convert the Xray X10 to a WGTR? Other than tires and wheels.

I will assume that ride height needs to be addressed. Spec for the class is 5mm minimum. The tires are tall so you might need shimming to get close to that. I don't know how X-Ray adjusts rear height but on a car that accepts Associated type adjusting inserts, just find a set of #4. The front end will need about 2.5 to 3mm of extra shim. Don't forget to set the servo height for the front end change.

On the 2018:

5mm spacers for rear axle mount and longer screws
3mm spacers under the front arm mounting brace and longer screws then use supplied spacers to fine tune

Car is fast!

Agreed. To avoid major shimming use X1 rear bulkheads

I've got an X10 ordered, do you think using the X1 plates makes a noticeable difference? Both X1 pod bulkheads are showing up as discontinued on a-main...
