Trying to get my XB4 18 dialed. Got a couple of questions.

1. I was looking at Tessman's setup sheet and noticed he's using a 2 slot hex, Amain doesn't list them as 2 slot. Can anyone provide part numbers. Also, how do they differ from the kit hexes.
2. When using the aluminum steering 4 hole plate, how many mm shims are you guys using. Also, how many mm shims are being used on the steering block?

A friend of mine got his a few days ago, he hadn’t built it at the time, but said new bits were, new rear hubs, new driveshafts, rear tower, wheels, body, wing, gears seem to be changed & he thought the chassis was milled out a bit more.

The Kyosho shocks don't have enough travel.

I am having a hard time keeping the rear of the buggy ('18) locked in on loose outdoor dirt.

a couple questions:

would more antisquat help?
would more toe in help?
I read some people dont like the +2 RF and RR blocks as it makes the rear loose. Any merit to this?

thanks.

Less anti-squat would help. When you move the rear pins to adjust, use the highest position for the pin (Raise roll center). If you need more, 3.5 rear toe as well. These adjustments will add rear traction.
-High Rear Pivot Pin
1* Anti-squat
3.5* rear toe
