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.
I ran the 7 mm again yesterday and it a lot easier to tune with a colder plug
. I also ran the 37 gram steel flywheel (0.9 red springs/softest shoe) and its a world apart from the sliding uncontrollable monster my car was before. Handles awesome, feels almost electric with a bit more top end car is super plush and w.r.t. gearing, I left my spare spur at home and the current one on the car was stripped already (was trying a kyosho plastic spur duh). So had to make do with a hot bodies 48T (thats all my shop had). The snap with the 48T/13T was awesome as well the heavier wheel is a must with the xb9 and b5 IMHO now for me
. I run on a mid to high traction indoor clay track (deltarc winter track on youtube).
