Im having a little bit of a hard time understanding the right combination of rear suspension bushing to get what I want. I want 3 degrees toe and 1 degree anti squat. with no change to roll center or track width. put the bushings in that are supposed to achieve this as best as I can tell from the instructions but it just doesnt look right. any help would be appreciated.

If you wan to keep the roll center exactly the same at the hinge pins you'll need to remove toe and anti squat equally from the C and D block. Use the diagonal .5 insert pointing out and down on the C block (removing .5 toe and .5 anti-squat) and use the .5 diagonal insert up and inward on the D block (removing an additional .5 toe and .5 anti-squat), which should put you at 3 deg toe and 1 deg anti squat instead of the stock 4 deg toe and 2 deg anti squat. Make sense?

actually.. symetricon.. i think is wrong on one thing..
so.. in order to get what your wanting..
use the .5 offset pill..
so.. from the rear of the car..looking at the D block the .5 dot will be inside towards the diff.. and up away from chassis..
from the front of the car.. looking at the C block.. the .5 dot will be outside towards the wheels and down towards the chassis

What effect does moving the rear shock inward on the tower have? Thx
I run the CE on a high bite indoor track and have had great success. I run the gear diff and shocks on the front of the rear arms, but it's really down to what you prefer. There's guys on here that run on a mid to high traction track and much prefer the DE and a ball diff, meanwhile I much prefer my CE with a gear diff, there's no correct answer other than trying stuff for yourself. The one thing I noticed about the XB4 which has carried over to the XB2 is just how easy it is to work on and tune compared to other cars. If you want to try the ball diff and gear diff, you can change it out in a couple minutes and be back on the track testing.
Here's my setup, I might not go directly to it but maybe you can find some ideas to try. The car is pretty good with the stock setup, just has a lot of roll and droop in the front which is easily fixable. I wouldn't try to overcomplicate dialing in the setup before ever running the car, I think the stock setup might surprise you. http://forum.teamxray.com/xform/inde...setup=xb2_2016
