Those that have the xb2 24D. I hear everyone is loving the car. I race on a medium sized indoor clay sealed track. So far I've been underwhelmed by the car. My 2022 car seems better. Run 17.5. Geared 75-30. Car seems slow. My biggest issue is the handling. Car lacks rear grip and just doesn't turn well. I'm using a mix on Tom R setups. Now I also have a schumacher Ld3. That car is pretty Damm good, turns on a dime, out accelerates my xb2 and oddly enough has more grip. This is using the exact same electronics and tires as my xb2. But it just doesn't have the durability and finish as the xb2. I've broken few parts on it. So I want my xb2 to drive like my ld3. Any suggestions

Associated b7.3 ball diff in xb2 23"
Does anyone know if the b6.3 ball diff fits in a xb2?

I used all AE parts to build the diff except for the Xray diff gear. I didn't try using the Xray internals but now that you ask when I rebuild it I might try using them. You can't use the AE dog bones because they are too short. I drilled out and filed down the Xray bones to the same dimensions as the AE bones to fit the pucks. A little bit of work but the weight savings was worth it.

Hi
Could you post your setup sheet for XB2 and LD3, maybe we can see something you have missed and suggest some changes.
I have heard that the older XB2'21-23 platform is slighter better in lower grip conditions but most things can be made to work ok
