Some of the guys at out local track have stopped using the brass bulkhead. I took mine off just to get the car down to weight.
I'd add the rear sway bar. A lot of guys were also going to yatabe springs (black/purple) but some are going back to stock ones now. We're running low profile stagger ribs (no insert, slim wheel) and mini darts or mini spikes. Trying out harder tires now though since our turf got upgraded.
Other than that the kit is pretty solid. I have yet to break anything on it, and that's saying something.

Is anyone running a rear swaybar on their CE? If so are you using parts from the Xb4? Thanks in advance

Anyone driven both the B6D and XB2? I don't have anyone around me running Xray 2wd mod so I can't try one for myself. I have been an AE guy since the RC10B3 but at the moment I'm struggling a bit. I've spent a ton of time on setup and it's just not working out for me. I run loose to medium tracks from small and tight to large 1/8 scale size with big air. The B6D has been rock solid reliable for me, I've broken a single rear arm and one front shock tower with heavy use and that's it but I'm struggling for the traction I want. Obviously there's never enough traction without going back to a RM buggy but them I lose the turning of the MM buggy. I am trying to find something in between, more traction than my B6D without losing my ability to turn on a dime and carry good corner speed without pushing. Can the Xray maybe fit the bill before I go drop 300 bucks on a dirt kit and find out it's similar?
Also, wheels, are they compatible between the two as far as offset? I have at least 30 full sets of buggy tires already mounted and I'd hate to have all of them be useless if I switched and I take a beating selling them on here.

Yes, you can use the associated wheels but you will need to change the hubs to the correct width. That info should be the wiki link on this thread.

I've had the carpet and dirt car and the b6d with and without laydown. There are many reasons for getting an xb2, rear grip is not one of them. The b6d IMO gets far better traction. Thwt being said I never tried the new version's rear hangers. But I did have the pills all the way in and a carbon chassis. Enjoyed the car but it was not my favorite on looser tracks

It was pretty great to drive on medium/high bite though. One of the easiest cars to drive I've owned as well as easiest to setup. Workmanship is second to none but again buying for rear grip is not what one should buy it for
