As for taller gearing, I am already running a 14T bell (factory 13). Should I go to a 15T instead? Will that be too much to spool up? I already have the m2c steel flywheel on order, and already running softest springs (red) ont he aluminum m2c wheel. I love my xb9 cant wait for the new one launching tomorrow, then the older chassis goes electric .
Oh yeah - just realized we are in the B5 thread, Duh !! my bad.

Hmm - the B5 in the XB9 must be a hauler down low.
Depending on track size and tightness going to a 15T might be too much.
You could try changing the spur gear. This will give you around half the change in gearing that going to a 15T would. Might be more do-able ?
I'm not familiar with the M2C clutch system sorry, so of no help to you there.
I know you already run the M2C, but the Werks clutch is worth looking at if you ever decide to change. Very tunable and shoe life is just obscene on these clutches .

Don't know what pipe your runing, but maybe going to a smoother pipe on the bottom end would help to tame the beast - 2057 with short header maybe ?

With the B6 Pro and 2058 pipe in the XB9 I couldn't be happier. This motor is so smooth but pulls so hard it's incredible - then there is the top end

Let me know how you get on with the gearing changes - be keen to hear how it performs.
