is there a list of part numbers anywhere for the difference between the dirt and carpet editions?
was thinking of getting them to be able to switch back and forth, but it its super expensive, i might just get the dirt as well...and throw in a gear diff ( I dont like ball diffs)

however im sure xray will release a list of parts which you can purchase seperately in one order to convert the carpet to the dirt edition.

Replace middle screw on waterfall with a 10mm ball stud.
Drill hole in battery brace 2/3 towards the front.
Attach using a lower shock mounting ball from the T4 and a countersunk 3mm screw on bottom of the brace so it doesn't protrude and interfere with the battery.
Use a steering link from XB4, rod end from XB4/XB2 on waterfall and shock rod end on the battery brace side.

But it will be fairly easy and not many parts will be needed.
A small list will most likely be made for those wanting to convert
If I have the time I might put it together and have it ready for the release as I have all the part numbers here…….hmmmm

The car is actually designed to have the battery brace clamp down on the battery.
We go the opposite way of your suggestion and add foam strips under the carbon battery brace to ensure it clamps securely on the battery and then add an adjustable turnbuckle connected to the battery brace and the "waterfall" to further stiffen the chassis lengthwise and create more equal flex.
When doing so we also remove the flex screws from the waterfall under the chassis.
This works really good for us

Good solution with the turnbuckle, I've noticed quite a lot of flex lengthwise so think I will try that. Thanks for sharing Bent!

Interesting idea for sure, seen on other MM buggies (centro being the first one) but somehow not that widespread?
Cheers!
