It's not miles off. Closest I've found was the SX3 tbh. The chassis is wider at the front so makes other shells tricky to fit it a way good enough to run.

Looks cool that mate.
Must admit the shell is growing on me now, like the RB6 has.
Stickers look good too.

Look just like 3mm countersunk. Get them on eBay mate. That's where I got nine.

Here is an example search on counter sink washers at AmainHobbies:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/advanced...ersink&x=0&y=0

An alternative is if you want to use cap head screws you might be looking for these kind of washers:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Washer-Blue-6

Just examples. Ebay is probably a better source.

@jimi126

these washers are the JQ counter sunk washers. the reason i used these are because they include M4 washers which are needed ho hold down the power wires from the speedo and attach them to the chassis...

Think the car needs a bit more colour but bar that the car is fantastic!!!

Had the car out for the first time today and i was absolutely gob smacked!!! I am comparing it to the durango 410 and the xb4 has soo much more steering in comparison. When running the 410 i down use any D/R on my remote and instantly on semi worn mini spikes on astro i had to reduce the steering to 55% on my remote.

The car itself is very smooth and works very well when pushing hard and the car was really settled i believe this was due to the body but i wouldnt have a lot of knowledge in this area.

I had the car set up with the clay set up thats included in the kit and the chassis was set up to be stiff. At the beginning i had a few real nasty knocks and i have to say the plastics and build quality of the car is second to none and along with the build i would highly recommend this car to anyone!!!

Ended up TQ-ing and winning the 4wd tonight but due to small numbers i can only wait til the new year to really see the full potential the car has especially on polished wood.

Ran mine too last night on worn carpet with loads of jumps/obstacles. Track flowed really well. The car was very very good. Mine was set to the carpet setup other than thinner diff oils. As said before, steering is very good. It was very stable and easy to push hard. It was a touch tail happy but clearly a setup change would've tamed in right down. Lots of hairpins in the track so I left it alone as it rotated brilliantly. It is tough as an altercation with a wayward SC truck proved! Overall I'd say this is a great car with bags of potential. I also played with the slipper all night and can safely say the diff gears are more than good enough for the job. Braking hard over bumps would have the rears dancing in the air. If you're on the fence about this car, go and get one. You won't be disappointed.

Did i read somewhere that ball diffs would be an option or was that a pipe dream?

Had a look in the box, perfectly packaged and looks such a quality kit.

I agree i had my slipper set quite slack... just to make sure i didn't wreck a diff on the first outting and there is certainly no problem with composite gear... on the plus side graphite composite gears as they wear they will naturally become more free due to graphite being a lubricant... smart design from xray...
