Tyler, have you tried the arms stiffeners yet and if so did you like them for high bite?

Glad to hear it.

Nope, haven't gotten my hands on those yet.

I tired them on a high bite clay track and did not like them at all. Made the car extremely twitchy. Haven't run them since.

that makes sense, do you think retuning the setup would result some gain ?

On clay or dirt I don't think they work very well. Even high bite clay and dirt, tracks don't seem to be smooth enough. The track I raced them on would definitely be considered smoother then most tracks, but the ruts that were there upset it more then usually with the suspension being so stiff. Flex I think is necessary in all non-carpet/astro-turf conditions. Maybe lighter shock oil, but the setup I have on it now is so good, would rather not try and chase a setup. We have a team driver here who tried them, didn't like them, tried to tune around them, then just gave up on them.

I just finished building the shocks on my XB4. The spring rubs against the shock body on both rear shocks. Has anyone else had this issue? It only rubs on the back and not the front. It almost seems as if the rear springs are slightly smaller in diameter.

Mine rubbed the first few times I ran it. Now no rubbing at all. Try compressing them by hand a few times.

Has anyone tried ball differentials on Norcals indoor track? Is it lighter than the gear version (full plastic)? My outdrives will be replaced soon, so rather than that I might try the ball option.

NorCal is pretty high bite, so you'd probably be better off with the gear diffs, but no, haven't had a chance to run them yet.

Thanks Tyler! Are they also a bit lighter than the gear diffs?

TV

iTrader: (1)

I don't have a scale handy to check, but I'd have to guess they're pretty close.

Tyler, you coming to delta this weekend?

iTrader: (43)

Thanks! I will stick to the gear diffs

I thought about trying them too. But after running the right setup, and the right tires I don't see a need for the ball diffs anymore. Maybe on super loose and completely blown out tracks, but I don't really ever run on those.
