Which XB2 are you running at Racink? Or are you running something different there?

What about the settings? 2wd buggy settings is more forgiving compare to onroad touring cars?

After having driven TC almost exclusively for the past 9 or so years I think this is a fair assumption. There are exceptions. I've seen some guys that are pretty fast with poorly maintained and set up cars but for the most part in TC the car has to be set up pretty well to get around the track decently. I don't think the buggys, especially on low grip are quite as sensitive to chassis tweak or a less than optimal setup as a TC. If you whack a board with a TC and the camber is asymmetric or the chassis tweaks, it is normally very noticable. Rarely have I seen anyone check camber with more than a cheap RPM gauge against and out-of- true wheel in off-road. Many just "eye it up" and their cars seem to drive fine. On carpet that difference shrinks, especially if it is high bite. If you are going for wins in either class attention to detail with regard to setup will be more important.

2014 2W buggy setup on loose low grip
hey guys,
i am running the old 2w saddle pack buggy on a loose low grip track and fighting with my buggy. this is the problem. when i try and go around a hair pin or corner my back end just snaps and i loose the back end. this is what i have tried. i have gone down to 2k (as per manual) in the rear diff.i have loosed the center spur and i dont want to loosen any more. can i play with the shocks or roll center ? thanks.

I am looking at starting racing at Racink eventually, and was looking at the spec buggy class. What aftermarket parts would you suggest to make a XB2D'17 work well there, and what springs/oils/all of that are you usually bringing with you to adjust to a normal race day? I really appreciate the help!

Sop by and say "Hi" the next time you are at the track. You are more than welcome to check the car out. Right now the only person running XRay at the track so I'm easy to spot.

If I were to run on a low bite surface, the first thing I'd get would be the new dirt conversion rear end. The new ball diff with the long rear a arms should add stability and grip.

I'm running all kit parts, including springs. Racink is very low traction while being bumpy so it took a little time to find a setup that worked for me as the kit setup still seemed geared to a surface with higher overall traction.. Generally, I'll run really light damping F&R to help the car follow the bumps and a little higher roll center and ride height to help it drive the tire into the track rather than the body roll just getting sucked up in suspension travel. Also, took out 1 degree of rear toe and am running the rear inside pins flat so no anti-squat.
