Run Xray for 3 years now and the only thing I have ever broke has been front bulkheads and crown / pinion gears which will be good now with the metal gears.

Then again I've seen your driving!!!

Ha ha, must be a strong car if you have bust so little Birdy !!
Ill get the usual stuff and that should be enough i was just making sure it didnt have a tendancy to bust certain parts ! Been running a K1 aero which i cant seem to get away with so fancy a change !
Thansk for the other replies too guys, car seems to be well liked !!

So, here's the weight layout from my observation:

Left Side
Orion ESC & capacitor = 44g
Orion Motor = 188g
Transponder?

Right Side
KO Propo Servo RSX = 65g
Orion Shorty = 295g
KO Receiver?

Esc with wire 60-70g
Orion Shorty +- 200g
Transponder 5g
Receiver 10g

Thanks to RC Disco, PBM Racing, SMD,Team Orion and Bandicoot Bodies for the continued help and support. I'm very pleased how it's turned out.

Never seen anyone with a bumper issue on my local track and have been running the original XB4 up until this week... Yes I swapped for the NEW XB4! Although it looks similar there are many very clever developments, it has gone to the next level again so smooth to drive and carries so much corner speed than the previous version

But bumper issues not heard of them, if your compressing the suspension that much then you probably need to run stiffer

Got my shell and the car performed very well on its first outing.

Also does anybody know where or when the centre diff will be released along with the servo mounting set.

Hi guys

Just to see if anybody has had issues with steering twitch. I've noticed that the 2014 was spaced out behind the servo horn by 4mm I tried it and it smoothed out the steering ko servo but a friend has a savox 1251 and has had no problems.

[sime46]

The servo is further back in the new car so no spacers are needed on the horn to run the link straight. Is that what your asking mate?

And if you build it in the right configuration its on the other side of the car sime

Hi, Yes that was the anwser l need, l think l can put it down to a dodgy servo.

Everyone's a critic. I'm testing saddle to help you and me decide which is best. You're welcome teammate.

[sime46]

Well, after some back to back ish testing I'm back onto shorty setup. I've changed quite a bit of my setup and went to Bury Metro yesterday. The car went brilliant on the 50/50 carpet shiny floor combo. I feel like I've really made progress with the car now. Previously I'd not felt entirely comfortable in higher speed turns but the changes seem to have it hooked up beautifully. The car was balanced and settled all day on both the high grip carpet and the slippy wood floor. Some slight tweaks here and there will have it planted from track to track now I reckon. Ill get a setup sheet together if anyone wants it over the next few days.

I'd like to know too

[sime46]

I hear that the diffs will be very soon. Could be a rumour but was a reliable source.

Have they changed the wheels from the 2013 and 2014 models?

[spennyy2k]

nope

I don't think the 2015 car has different wheels to the '14 car, but the front wheels did change between the '13 & '14 cars, the off set is 1mm wider.

This is correct.

Another question, would it be possible to covert the 2013 car to 2015 specs?
