the XB4 out of the box is as close to perfect as any car can be with a factory setup on it . it does tend to understeer on power or light braking. This trait makes the car really easy to drive and it also means you can push the XB4 super hard and get super agressive with it and it wont bite you in the arse like the 44 did. i found the 44 was also prone to "tank slapping" from time to time. With a couple of small diff fluid and shock spring adjustments the XB4 is right on the money. I had a b44.2 sitting there waiting to be built. After my 1st meet with XB4 i sold it.
John,

what tweaks did you make to the diffs and shocks?
