They are associated arms, hubs and cvd's. There a great fit and shorten the wheelbase a couple of mm, effectively making it a "shorty" buggy. What are your views? Thanks for reading

Hmm looking at the reminds me, I must test the car with the swept rear wishbones off the X4.

which i think im still waiting or was that the fronts :lol:

it needs to be longer, not shorter!

[danny the elfman]

i tried the mod to make it longer but it just didnt seem as competitive. And if i remember properly (not got a great memory lol) It was the shortened losi 22's winning last summer. I think anyway

If you can make the car longer and still keep the driveshafts slightly forwards that will work fine but don't get the driveshafts pointing backwards as this is incorrect and will lose traction. This information is passed on after asking several engineers in the RC industry, I am certainly no engineer but I do trust the people I asked :thumbsup:

Would be interesting to see how the x4 wishbones behave so I'll look into that one. :)

Already done this mod but with a B4 diff as well on a alloy chassis and it works better making it longer around 5mm+ if i remember correctly. I found that the handling was very dodgy when it was to short and the angle of the driveshafts didnt quite look right. I also found that you need to lower the camber link on the inside alot as well, and the only way to do this is to purchase the atomic carbon kit.

ive tried the x4 wishbones on the X2C and it makes the car alot looser and harder to drive.
