XRAY X4'22 Helpful tips & setups

Tips:

Installing the hex on the driveshaft - Make 100% sure you have the flat spot lined up on the axle with the cutout in the hex as shown in the manual. If you do not do this, it will make disassembly so much harder. The flat spot is there so you can fit a flathead screwdriver in between the shaft and the c-clip to pop it off when you want to remove the hex. Also, when removing the c-clip I would recommend pointing it down into your pit mat/towel so the clip does not go flying and disappear.

Assembling the upper arms - Make sure to grease the threads on the camber screw (302640). This will make assembly and camber adjustments much easier. Also, when adjusting camber you want to make sure you hold the upper arm so it does not twist while you turn the screw.

Droop - It is important to remove the shocks. All team setup sheets will show droop settings with shocks removed. Simply detaching them from the arm will do. This is a change from how we set droop in the past.

Setups:


**If the super mods on this forum were actually right, and handled things correctly, they would not have gone back and deleted all the posts to hide things

***And since they are in the deleting mood now, they might as well go ahead and just delete all the images of the setup sheet, as originally requested via private comms.

I've received replacement parts for free from other brands when they revised problematic parts. It's called a warranty.

Just as I loved Xray denying there was any problem and then quickly designing parts to fix that non-existing problem.

Enough blame to go around for both critics and fanboys (plus company and team drivers).

seems that they should do an upgrade/conversion kit for the x4-22 instead of calling it a new kit

The new shocks are so small and cute.

Nice to see BB shafts included in the kit, those were pricey options. Tempted to sell my T4 and pick up this newest version.

'23 presentation https://teamxray.com/x4/2023/?fbclid...ykB3YUyxR_sA#1
Ok...my take aways;

- I like the toe gain screws.
- The new SCS axle may be ok, but the orings on the '22 worked great. Don't know why they didn't implement that.
- I wonder if the previous plastic diff will work with the '23? Buying mulitple metal diffs for quick swaps will be stupid spendy.

I thought they were going to cancel the details release after I pre-ordered yesterday.

Correct, I have quite a bit of them but still have my other X4 to use those springs.
