XRAY X4'22 Helpful tips & setups
Tips: Installing the hex on the driveshaft - Make 100% sure you have the flat spot lined up on the axle with the cutout in the hex as shown in the manual. If you do not do this, it will make disassembly so much harder. The flat spot is there so you can fit a flathead screwdriver in between the shaft and the c-clip to pop it off when you want to remove the hex. Also, when removing the c-clip I would recommend pointing it down into your pit mat/towel so the clip does not go flying and disappear. Assembling the upper arms - Make sure to grease the threads on the camber screw (302640). This will make assembly and camber adjustments much easier. Also, when adjusting camber you want to make sure you hold the upper arm so it does not twist while you turn the screw. Droop - It is important to remove the shocks. All team setup sheets will show droop settings with shocks removed. Simply detaching them from the arm will do. This is a change from how we set droop in the past. Setups:
**If the super mods on this forum were actually right, and handled things correctly, they would not have gone back and deleted all the posts to hide things  ***And since they are in the deleting mood now, they might as well go ahead and just delete all the images of the setup sheet, as originally requested via private comms.

Will be interesting to see how those ultra short shocks perform on bumpy/low-grip tracks, the old ones were already tricky to get enough travel with (especially on the rear).

I got to build 1 set of the new XLP shocks and they were definitely easier to build than the ULP shocks. The bladder is held in place better by the body, and the holes in the top of the body allow the oil to escape easier when you insert the bladder. So it’s much easier to get 0 rebound consistently.
As far as the length and travel, I’m not sure that will be an issue. The XLP has the same volume of oil as the ULP. In fact, you can use your old PSS sleeves from your ULP shock in the XLP. Shock shaft length is still 9mm as a starting point.

Ran my newly built x4 today.. my home track is high traction black carpet and we run hudy tires which have a ton of grip. My thin top decks allowed the solid chassis to flex more to give the car more grip than with the xray top decks. Other parts on this that I made are the rear HRB tower, front bumper and the front bumper upper brace. I’m excited for the Full Throttle race we host in January.

That's an interesting rear body post mount. Where did you get it?

Anyone else checking their email all day/week for that RC America invoice? Me neither.

lol I know what you mean. I spent all day Friday clicking refresh on the Xray site instead of actually doing any work.
fyi - it looks like rcamerica will receive kits o/a 28 October. This is what is posted on the website anyway.
