2016 xb4
Hey guys , maybe someone can help me out here .. I've been building the above buggy since 2016 .. Anyway i'm finally setting the body on there and I noticed the servo horn ( expert servo) scrapes the body. Anyone have an idea why theres a clearance problem?

There's no official shim. I used a lower control arm spacer from my XB8 vehicle. Basically, it's a 3x8mm plastic spacer. Adds 2mm to the front body mount. Anything like that will work.

Here's what I've been running for my 16 XB4 and would think would carry over to the 18 as well.

I've been using this on high bite as well and works good with the 180s as well
I looked at my high bite setup that I last used and is close to same setup, the high bite track I was running on had a lot of sweeping turns
so I used different insert in the C & D block, but when the layout changed to a tighter track with more turns I used the setup that I posted.

What center diff oil are you guys running on lower bite dirt. Tends to me a little lose and dusty. Thanks
