XX-4 WED help me set up my new car..
Any tips will help.. Looks like i'm getting a R1 Pro Tekin w/ 448 motor. Does any one have experience with this motor and ESC set up? 
What set up should I use for rough loose clay that has big jumps...
I run on a 1/8 nitro track,Mills Pond Florida.
Shock set-up and or tricks that I can do to improve the cars performance! 
Thanks guys!

Run the B2 front brace. You will need to modify the bulkhead a bit and will need longer hinge pins. I ran an 86 spur Kevlar Spur rather then the plastic 84. On the 86 spur youll need to shave down under the spur to fit properly. Change front belt to a green instead blue. I also ran the MIP CVD's in it. Also make sure you run the outdrive rings on the composite outdrives. You will need to grind down the CVD pin a bit not much. And lastly run the saddlepack on driverside all the way to the front. Just run the WE setup on it.

The XX-4 thread will be very helpful for ya. The last 2 years or so of posts are pretty good for info. A few of us have posted up some good setups that work just about everywhere as well. The box setup is really not that great, especially for big 8th scale tracks (it was developed almost 10 years ago and we've learned alot since then). There may be alot to read there but if you are not that familar with the car then invest some time in seeing what we have to do to get the car where we want it. It seems that XX-4s are one of the most rewarding cars to drive (especially on big 8th scale tracks) but if incorrectly set up or maintained they can be one of the most frustrating to live with. If you have any questions still feel free to hit me up if you want.

I have a xx4we fully modified
- crashback arms
- aluminum front hubs
- steel cvds fronts
- green belts front side rear
- b4 front brace
- xxxcr rear
- cut upper brace for easier (relatively) maintenace and repairs
- bigger (orange) spur
- trinity blue motor holder and heatsink
- locked clicker
- lipo to one side of chasis
it is a satisfying and fast car even on 1/8 tracks but with the speed of the BL and lipos, one wrong move and you are cartwheeling across the track
broke 2 crashback arms this race season bec of this
hope this helps
How does the xxx-cr rear end work for you? Is this a bolt on? CR Dogbones or the xx-4? What brace for the front the BK2 or B4?? Confused....

No on the 5 degree, it screws up the handling and the Trinity bulkhead tends to transmit hard crashes into the chassis and break chassis. The XXX (normal, BK, BK2 or CR) or B2/3 brace works just as good, is cheaper and doesn't risk the chassis so much
XXX-CR rear end is only arms and hubs, the rest is the same. It works well especially with the last Jesse Robbers setup with that rear end (two diff, no clicker). My personal setup (a sort of older Robbers based setup w/ the clicker) runs the XXX-CR rear end with the standard (long) VLA and simulated XX-CR rear hub geometry.
Bones or CVDs (XXX, XXX-CR or XX4) will work, most people go with the bones, I personally run CVDs most of the time as I have plenty of steering and at SoCal it seemed to work better....
hope that helps.....

Should I run the 0* front bulkhead and the 3* rear pivot blocks???
My local shop has the 10* front and i'm not sure whats up out back! I have a standard xx-4 with a graphite chasi.. got the front crash back w/ alu. caster but the rest is a mix of stuff! What way to go??
