both these combined are the underdrive option for the rear (rear only i emphasize). they will slow down the rear wheels rotation when compared with the front. this means the car will pull more from the front and is tended to be used in loose conditions.
Thankyou very much for the info. I got into contact with the Aussie distributor for xray, which is also the person who sold me thr parts. And hr said theyre for a much older model.

Could I trouble you for a close up shot of it installed on the tank?

Default Rx battery stick
Hi guys,

What RX battery sticks are using in the XB8... bought a 1900 Team Orion Nimh and it doesnt fit
Any battery type will do. The Lipo/Life sticks look more compact.
Thanks

Yes, the XB8 2015 car came with CVD's. So did the XB9. If you can find them they will work on the 2016 and 2017 versions. You will also need 13x9x4mm bearings (4) for the inside of the hubs on both front and rear.

no. if your looking at add rear weight use wheel balance weights and stick them just in-front of the RF hinge in holder.

the weights i refer to are not xray parts. go to a tire shop or ebay and pick up some lead/iron weights (the sort that are used to balance real world car tires).

if you must side with RC dedicated weights, im nearly sure the mugen or AE brass weights should fit but im not 100% sure
