What changes do you need to do to the 17 car to run on wet greasy Astro? There is an option to buy a 2016 dirt edition car and wondered if this would be a good option for a wet car?

The '17 CE car will be even worst on wet astro than the '16 CE car. You need the dirt car for this. Seems many run the carbon chassis with the dirt car to improve overall grip on low grip tracks.

Ok cheers, one more question, are the X Ray wheels the same offset as Schumacher wheels? I have a load of Schumacher wheels and wouldn't want them to go to waste.

I've been looking at getting a new 2wd after been out of racing but why is this car so much more than b6 or 22 3.0 is it really that much different to the others I assume it must have more alloy and carbon than the cheaper ones? Although saying that after reading this whole thread I'm not sure xray is the brand for me

I had the same decision to make a couple of months ago. After some considerable research I came to the conclusion the x-ray does not offer more for your money compared to a B6. If we're talking raw materials at component level they have equal amounts of composite, carbon and alloy. The pompous website and attitudes on display in this thread swayed me to the B6.

Thanks 200 I'm leaning the same way for exactly the same reasons

Default Narrow front wheels?

I know this has almost certainly been covered a dozen time elsewhere but can't find it. Can someone tell me if X-ray do a narrow front wheel suitable for Schumacher stagger rib front tires. If not what's the best alterative? Thanks for any help.

Default Xb2 front tyres with kit set up

Just purchased a xb2 '17 , can't wait to get it on the track! Coming from the old xb4 2wd.
Wanted to ask about the kit set up and Schumacher low profile cut staggers. Is the kit set up designed around this tyre or will I need to lower the front spindle height / add more front droop to accommodate the low profile tyre design?

Thanks

Set it up as kit. I ran mine about 17-18mm ride height and found it was better with the ball diff in it.
