Thx all! Also, what gearing
is everyone using for 13.5 blinky?
Depending on track and car setup, I usually run 70 to 90 percent dual rate. Most of the time my car is undriveable at 100 percent dual rate.[/QUOTE]

I'm finally installing electronics in my xb4 today. I've only driven one once for 1 minute. Coming from 2wd buggy, I noticed the xb4 I drove had about twice the steering. It was ridiculous compared to what I was expecting. For driving on high bite clay, is everyone dialing out some steering on their radios? Any tips for radio epa/dual rate setup would be helpful. I have a 4px. Thx in advance....! QUOTE=dc3504x4;14552896]I recently got an xb4 '15 picked up and I'm trying to run it at my local indoor carpet track, cattown hobbies. Most guys have been trying these new foam tires and have got them working decent

They really seem to loosen the car up and help it not traction roll, but I just can keep it nailed down. Car is all over the place and the rear end just tries to pass the front half of the time.
Would you guys follow a dirt setup as these foams mimic dirt or still use a carpet setup and change something else? I'm using the saddle configuration with a tekin rsx and gen 2 7.5

Leave the steering maxed out and calm the car down with the suspension settings, diffs, and wheel hex's. A car with plenty of steering, can be widened and stiffened so you can go even faster with less traction rolling.
Look into stiffer swaybars and thicker diff fluids. Some good tips in the Worlds setup for high bite conditions.

Anyone know if transponder mount comes with kit?

From what I've read in this thread, a 7.0:1 FDR is a good place to start. So a 26 or 27T pinion would get you in the ballpark with either a 7.21 or 6.94:1 FDR. I race on a high bite clay track and my 13.5T only gets reasonably hot on a 6.96:1 FDR (78T spur/28T pinion).

Everyone ran the 2015 without the top decks. Right battery, right rx, left motor, left ESC, right servo.
The 2016 is designed only as such. It's no longer possible to run saddle packs etc. etc. IMO, the 16 is the better car.

Unrelated question... Are the diff gears on the XB4 the same as the ones on the NT1 sedan?

It's going to be a give or take. With heavy oil with stiff springs and at 15mm ride height that's just going to happen. You need to focus on landing on the downsides of the jumps. That setup is a big advantage in the corners. You can drive a lot more aggressive and carry more corner speed. I would prefer a better handling car over one that jumps better IMO.
