Xb4 testing

andoiwebb · #1 23-12-2012

Had it out for the first time on greasy astro and was very impressed! Twiddled and tweaked various things and back to back testing with my Durango suggested I was quicker with the xray. I guess time will tell, but for a stock car out of the box, it's VERY good.

I liked the alternate shock tower location you where running...

What track?

andoiwebb · #4 23-12-2012

Coventry astro, got greasier as more nitros went round.

Coventry Astro, a layout that was used at the last MAM, so it is pretty familiar.

My car is decent, on a par with my 410 right out of the box, the lightweight drivetrain really makes the car good over the jumps! I am running on the pace of my Durango with the kit setup on the XB4. The shocks need some work, going to try 6 hole 1.2mm all round rather than the 3 hole 1.3mm.

feniks · #9 24-12-2012

front shocktower and a front dif .
aldo the diff could have been my mestake as after taking it out of the car i could tichten the scews still a bit more so think I did not tichten it enoff so the inner gears had to mutch play my idee .

The only breakages at coventry were a front bulkhead and a wing mount. The bulkhead may have been down to "User Error"

rather than the plastic quality.

Do you know where the front bulkhead broke? as mine has a rather large crack on the backside by the top screw that holds the tower to the bulkhead.

andoiwebb · #12 24-12-2012

Ok, it was me, I was responsible for the 'user error' and mounted the front shock mount behind the gearbox casing, so it broke when I launched it. FAIL

Thought you were happy with your previous car, Feniks ;-)

I found there quality always superb that wat we cant say of most brands out there .
its not the fact that its somthing compleet new . but I beleve that it has all the key ellements to finaly have a car that can suit all drivers . and if it has ball diffs and gear diffs aswell that can only be an advantage . eder way I am happy with my curent car so once this had a compleet year than this car wil be on the list of concideration .

hey rcpower (maarten )
I am and was always happy with my B44.1 and the 2 .
it has problems just like most brands out there . it all depends on the driver to work around them . and that has always workt out fine . dont you think???
I swapt cars just as for the reazon you are saying . No more compromize this car and most Xray cars are build so you can set it up so that U dont need to adapt to the car . so this year will be hammer down and all kamikazi rounds as this car drives like a feather and has the strenth of a tank as far as I have tested it . lol

rcpower · #16 03-01-2013

looking forward to race with/against you buddy! As I will only focus on 4WD (sold all 2WD stuff) this season, my main goal will be to keep your xray behind me

BTW: don't forget to change your sig

feniks · #17 03-01-2013

wel will be looking forward to keep you behind me or battel it out all the way true the national seazon over here lol
