Looking for a body for my 15 xb4 just wondering if anyone has tried any other brand bodies that work?

The AE B64 works with some trimming. I like it better than the jc body that is for the 2015 XB4. Here is a link to pic posted a while back

I have an exotek alloy steering rack are there any reasons to not fit it?

not sure about that year. i have a 16 with some upgrades to make it near 17. the body use was i think released 4 or more years ago

i use the JConcepts Finnisher xray xb4 #0258 body, and two xray 361320 body posts to mount it. i had to trim the left and right aft bottom corners to clear side guards, other than that, fits perfect. you may not have to do that on a 2015 model? kit comes with one 361320 body post just needed a second for the front. you can also look at other brands of body posts

Does anyone know if the B64d center gear diff would fit the xb4 2017. Im pretty happy with the slipper, but just wanted ro experiment with a center diff
AE diff is about 30 dollars, xray is about 60. I looked at pictures and seems almost the same Thanks

Nope. The B64 center gear diff is about 1/4 inch shorter. So the bearings don't fit in the xb4 mount and the drive shaft is too short to reach the outdrive. And for anyone wondering the spur gears are not compatible either.

Like most things with xray you get what you pay for. The quality of the part is worth the difference in price.

Personally, I prefer the slipper/delete over the C diff on almost all conditions. If I were running on very low bite with a mod motor, that's where I'd prefer the the C diff.

the slipper delete in superstock 13.5 is a very good upgrade.

Think it's called vision racing products. Have to verify. They are based in Houston. I bought mine at a race.
