I liked the XB4 it was quick, but it just felt like too much car for me. couldnt get my head round the inserts in the front and rear, and spares were more expensive than other brands. |

Look forward to seeing it go Rich Does look proper nice - did you not miss the slipper then at RHR? How does the centre diff feel - still not sure what it's supposed to do in a 10th scale.... |

One of the (many) things things that stood out driving it compared to my B44 was how little the chassis bottoms out. I could hit jumps and bumps at speeds that would have had the B44 slapping on the ground and double bouncing all over the place but it just took it no problem, even with the limited droop (it still has more than the 44 did). I didn't play about with rollbars too much through the day, I just stuck with the kit copper/silver and changed other things as to me they felt about right. I know Nathan was messing about with different ones but ended up right back where I was, it felt more balanced and stable with the softer copper bar on the front. Quote:
You can really feel the centre diff working on hairpins and tighter parts of the track, the car seems to flow effortlessly round tight corners without scrubbing speed at all. Also unlike solid prop 4wd's you can brake really hard and late and still have steering instead of the fronts locking and ploughing straight on. I think it helps accelerating through bumps too - for anyone that's driven the new run onto the banking at RHR on the left hand side of the track the car was easily stable enough to be flat out right from jumping out of the bombhole by the stepup, all the way through the banked corner and to the end of the straight. Initial impressions compared to other car's I've driven... Rotates on hairpins like a DEX410 Forward drive and stability like a B44 Goes through bumps like a XX4 Zero understeer Feels as agile and light on it's feet as a 2wd Easily the fastest thing I've ever driven on initial acceleration out of corners I've only run the shorty car so far, Niggs was switching all day but mostly running the saddle car. At the end of the day we put my setup on his shorty car and both agree that's what we'll be running at Kidderminster. The saddle layout was safer to drive but the extra agility of the shorty layout was better overall. |

I ran the car indoors (carpet) for the first time on Wednesday and I have to say it was amazing. I’ve still got to sort the droop out but I just can’t believe how much quicker I was than normal. The car was so easy to drive and handled everything I threw at it. I even slammed it into a post after a cross over jump (because I was getting too cocky and started to drive like a sausage) and it didn’t even phase it.
A good comparison for me was, the 2 top drivers at my local clubs are always a couple of laps quicker than me and I was only 1 lap behind and nearly on the same lap. Everyone couldn’t believe how quick the car changed direction and that it was so planted. Please don't buy one I want to win my first A final |

This car is bullet proof, I slammed it really hard on Sunday and had no issues or breakages. I even had someone drive into the back of me, full speed while lining up to start racing (what a gentleman sausage) and it didn't break a thing. Most cars would have been in bits.
I've checked the car tonight and I've bent the rear wish bone bolt. If that's all its did after that, then happy days . I've used 3mm spacers in the front shocks to remove the droop giving a shock length of 22mm and I've ordered some HB red springs to give them a go. I'll post my indoor set-up on Thursday if anyone is interested. |

These buggies really look great... and I love the bodyshell!
As such, I'd like to use the D413 body myself. Could someone measure the following things for me? Also, does the bodyshell parts come pre-cut or not? |

Weaknesses?
Hi, i am getting my kit very soon and i wonder if there is some weak spots that hasnt been covered in this thread? What about the servo horn? Has someone fitted a aluminium horn or know if there is any horn that fits?
Hubs are they strong? Regards Roy |

Tip - The only thing I’ve done is strip a spur gear as the motor mount vibrated loose. I’ve now used some lock tight on the motor screws. Just thought I’d share this to prevent anyone else stripping one.

When I built mine (same applied on the B44 motor clamp) I put the cam into the motor mount, screwed the clamp down on top of it, covered the little grub screw in threadlock (plenty) and screwed it in just until it stops. Then remove the clamp and screw the grubscrew in another half turn or so, so it's just proud on the inside of the clamp. That way when you tighten the clamp down the grubscrew bites into the cam a bit and stops it moving. It also pushes the clamp off the cam a touch in the middle and puts a bit of bend into it, so you've got the clamp tryng to spring back straight working to hold the motor still too. Current setup update, as the first setup sheet I posted but with the following changes... Front shocks - 2x1.6mm piston, 40w AE oil, same red springs. Rear shocks - 2x1.7mm piston, 27.5 AE oil, blue springs, inner on the arm. Diff oils - 7k front, 300k centre, 5k rear. I'll get a proper setup sheet done after Southport in case it evolves much further |
