Same as big brother XB8-9 series...

yes I did run progressives with stock pistons and regular oils and it was better than stock on the faster rougher sections, it seemed to keep the dynamic ride height "up" without raising the static ride height. The 6/thin is simply to handle the impact of big air landings. I am not actively racing right now just running for fun so the big airs really shouldn't be happening in a race. With the track rebuild I'll be running 2 or 3 holes monday night. I agree on the tweaking too much thing. I'm far more concerned with my driving than my setup. Finding a split second here and there is worth nothing if you just throw it away with mistakes.

Almost........same principle though.

I'm hereby suggesting they include these with any kits sold in the future.

Hmm, I am gonna try flipping the rear tapers on my xray and run a bit more drag brake. It worked wonders to cure the nose down jumping of the sct410 and also helps on looser conditions. The car squats on power a lot more and numbs the fwd wt transfer as well on braking (since rebound is slowed down by flat side), need a bit heavier rear oil though. Biggest advantage though is flatter jumping.

ok so lastnight the car had a little bit of a push after putting the new springs on but with some change to ride height it gain the steering and it landed alot better when over jumping and even jumping over all it felt good with the new springs.

what should the 6 degree hub do compared to the 9?

just put together a set of Kyosho bigbores with ghea 4x1.3's and those will be run monday night as well. And the "big" race is this weekend so the track will be all nice and broken in with a new smoother layout, super jacked to run this week.

Less Caster, gives you more steering.

Aluminum shock caps add ZERO performance gain to the car.

The o-rings on the other hand do. I was quite suprised when I built my kit that they didn't come in the kit.

I used that exact setup and I did not like it much. It was wallowing around a bit and not as precise. The progs with xray shocks felt like a tc. The shock lengths are too much I believe and the kyosho shocks are much heavier. The towers need to be taller to use those beauties . Let me know if you find a good setup I still have the kyoshos lying around somewhere.

Yep its just a habit of mine, I spend anything possible to get the shocks bulletproof. That moment of revelation was when I drove a kyosho rb5 wc for the first time after owning a dex210 and a crappy cougar sv2.

Orings or at least bladders (to cut if need be) should have been part of the kit though.

So I'm finally setting my XB4 up and getting ready to run it a bit this weekend. Got everything in it and threw it on the scales just to see how it was side to side and its 110 grams heavy on the motor side. There really is no room to move components around to help even it out. Has anyone else ran into this? Have I been running too much TC lately? I would prefer to get it a little closer but 110 grams? Thats a lot of lead.

Really that much ? mines only 5 or so left to right but i have a big esc and servo. You do have a big motor on the right and a small esc and a lopro servo on the left but 110 grams is a ton. Cool job on the antennae tube and the wiring, thats some nice work.
