You are right.
Xray must close-up the bearings in the layshaft bulkheads, it is not difficult,
it is easy to do

Default under dampened?

What are you all running for damping? My cars seems very soft, I'm dragging the chassis on both sides (5.2mm RH, carpet). I'm running kit springs 400 front 350 rear at the moment with 1.1 - 4 hole pistons. I'm thinking 500 all around, it'd also be nice to get a little more corner speed.

The car's fast when it rubs and, besides, I don't believe it's possible to fully prevent it. I've ran 400cst and 2.7/2.9 springs and she still rubed. Currently, I'm dropping back down to 350cst so my setup is more inline with the pro guys.

Wow really, never had an Xray that dragged this much, I've gone through a can of motor spray this month just cleaning the chassis butter.

I think Hara explained in one of his videos that no matter how narrow the chassis, it still rubbed so he stopped caring.

Anyone had issues with the shock bladders so far?
Went to reset my rebound and for some reason I can't seem to get any in them now

If you want rebound, you need to seal that hole in the shock top.

They swell up in the shock once they have been in there with the oil. Some oils make the swell worse. It happens to all bladders. The new ones in the T4 seem to last longer than the old shocks though.

Default O Ring on shock shaft

Are you guys running o rings on the shock shaft?? I have noticed all the Xray drivers not running their o rings on the shock shaft but oil leaks when I try to remove it. What am I doing wrong??

That bottom o-ring that is in the bottom of the shock body, must be installed. It's an extra o-ring that people put on the shaft as a tuning aid to slow initial rebound and compression.

Thanks for the clarification!

Also, does anyone have the explanation of what the different settings for the Roll center upper clamps?? Longer links vs shorter links?? I can't find it in the manual or setup books.

If you use longer links you may need to play with your droop. Running low droop (high # on gauge) will counter act the benefit of the chassis rolling, IMO.
