Hi guys, i just got myself a new xb2 2019 Dirt edition. The price has dropped so i couldn't resist
Tested it last saturday and i noticed the differential was slipping too much...At first i thought it was the slipper clutch but then i realise i was the diff.
This is my first time with a ball differential so i don't know exactly what to do.
As the manual says, i thighten fully the set screw and the unscrew it about 1/8 of screwdriver turnr counterclowise.
I did a test on my workshop table and now it dosen't slip but it seems a little to tight, to me (again, this is my first ball diff, so maybe i'm worried to nothing).
Anyone can tell me if there's a basic diff setup for this model running on a dirt/grass track?
thank you very much

Hopefully that will help.

Mmmmh the wiki told to glue the rings to the outrdrives...you know, maybe this will help but i don't like to do this kind of modification. L'll start adding a shim on the spring. And maybe tryng a stiffer spring too. Gluing the rings will be the last option

uh i missed the wiki because the thread is self-refreshing always to the last post

On the xb2c 20, what hop ups are needed to run the car or are most just running the box setup.

Diff oil
The latest team driver setups for the '19 on the Xray website show very thick diff oils... bruno and Martin where using 150k, and Alexander 60k. What is the reason behind that? Is it just so they are able to go through a corner on full throttle? The impression I have is that one would be sacrificing a lot of steering for that

Still building out my brand new XB2 19 spec. Below is the track that I will be running on. Would be great to get your insights on setup tips and mods/hop ups based on track configuration. Need to make the car manageable so I'm not fighting the car in addition to the track. Thanks!

Does the rear tower from a '18 carpet fit on a '19 carpet?

very low ride height?
Hey guys, Im running the XB2 2017 carpet edition as a oval modified car my local track on CRC carpet. Im wanting to get the ride heights as low as possible, down to about 6-7mm range and Im curious if you have tips on the "most correct" way to go about this? Thanks!
