Let me know if they even answer. My kit was missing the battery foam (of all things!!!). Despite my emailing them several times, I have yet to hear from them. "Luxury" RC car my foot. Things have gone down hill for Xray over the years and support is not what it used to be.

t-bone racing does. They make bumpers and such for xb2. I actually use the bumpers for my kids. They are fantastic. I am sure the shocktower guards are just as good.

Hey what is the correct driveshaft length.
#5359
I have a few setup questions. In the manual it shows two alternatives.
1. having the the gears on the left side
2. mounting the shocks on the back of the tower.
What benefit do these provide, or I should say what does this change?

The manual for the XB2 '17 dirt edition indicates that the initial pill setting for RF and RR are in the center and produces 4 degrees of toe in. The downloadable basic setup sheet for this kit has the same pill settings and the sheet indicates 3 degrees of toe in. Am I correct to assume the set up sheet has an error and the manual is correct with 4 degrees of toe in with these pill settings?

Has anyone experimented with shimming the transmission case on the XB2 1 or 2mm? I have seen some setups on other cars with the transmission case shimmed and some setups for the XB2.

I have done a lot of reading and I think I understand that the "left side gear" is the 4 gear laydown setup. Not sure what benefit that would give me.
Next Question, people at my carpet track are using 3 dot springs front and rear. I bought a used car that came with a bunch of springs, one pair is a rear two stripe progressive. I do not see any setup sheets where someone is using two stripe. What is a good application for these? Is there an associated or Losi equivalent to the three dot? I have three dot for fronts.
Last question for now. I have stock shock oil in my car. I asked another group what shock set up they had. They were all using 35 wt. I do not see any X-ray/Hudy 35 weight shock oil. This is probably some other company. I looked for conversion chart and could not find one. Is there a 35wt Hudy shock oil?
Thank you

We only mount our shocks on the rear for loose dirt.. moved to the front for high bite clay..
you are correct on the transmission setup.. the original 16 car had a 4 gear laydown or option 4 gear dirt standup.. which had the spur on the opposite side of the car from the current car.. it also rotated the opposite direction.. since the 17, and 18.. 3 gear laydown..
Oils have a conversion... most use the CST rating now.. i have a chart for that.. here it is.. this is the AE conversion chart.. losi oils are different..
10wt = 100cst
15wt = 150cst
20wt = 200cst
22.5wt = 238cst
25wt = 275cst
27.5wt = 313cst
30wt = 350cst
32.5wt = 388cst
35wt = 425cst
37.5wt = 463cst
40wt = 500cst
42.5wt = 538cst
45wt = 575cst
47.5wt = 613cst
50wt = 650cst
55wt = 725cst
60wt = 800cst
70wt = 900cst
80wt = 1000cst

Xray 3dot is 4.11 rate. the closes AE spring is orange which is 4.05. to use AE springs.. you need to flip the threaded shock collar.. also use AE lower spring retainers..
here is what i have.. hope it works right.

What about the progressive springs. When do you use those?
#5369
Does it make sense to use the slipper eliminator with the dirt version? I plan on running it 17.5t.
I have not seen that setup in any pic.
