When I pull up the xb4 on amain it does not have a button to click for parts like on their other pages.

There's a number of possibilities as to why.

My guess, is the demand for Xray has grown alot in the last 4 months and RC America is having trouble getting the quantity needed to fill all the orders coming in.

As a team driver who gets parts straight from RC America, there are times when my orders cant be filled in full. The nice thing however is that parts don't stay back ordered for too long as RC America receives large shipments from Xray every couple weeks.

RC America did get a large fulfillment from XRAY this week, I don't think you can order direct from them unless you are a hobby shop or a team driver.

Another question. By doing this, what is your width from edge of outer wheel front and back?

There doesn't seem to be anything more on back order than any other brand, IMO. You can't expect a distributor to have everything in stock all the time.

Anyone else having issues with the ballcups stripping easily? I've only had a few knocks, but already my steering is getting tweaked incredibly easily.

Would AE ballcups work? They've been rock solid on my B6D, which has taken a lot more abuse.

Other than the ballcup issue, the XB4 drives like a dream. Almost feels like a belt drive (which is a good thing). Smoooooooth.

Approx 9-5/8" rear an 9-3/4" front.

Are you sure its the ballcups, they'll pop off before the jump threads from my experience... also, are you running the stock turnbuckles? Measure them before and after a race day. It may be the servo saver or your servo. I believe I super glued my servo saver. I also had a similar issue and it ended up being a combination of the servo saver and a worn out servo...

I can't say I'm certain it's the ballcups jumping threads, but when I've enountered this on other cars in the past, that's what it's been. I'll get everything alighed perfectly and then after a bump, it will literally drive itself around a corner. I'll pull it from the track and the wheels (one or both) are massively tweaked (servo sitting in its proper neutral position, though). I didn't consider the servo saver, though - I'll look into it.

Is there a option to remove the servo saver for the 17 model?
