Default Converting XB4 4wd to 2wd

As title have recently acquired a XB4 4wd and would like to try the 2wd version, is it possible to just buy the parts required rather than a full kit?

You can order the parts but depending on what parts you want to use it might be better value to order the kit!

Just remove the front shafts and the front diff then add glenn Westwoods setup and hey presto fast car. Glenn won the mid south 2wd championship with his last year

I've only seen one in the flesh once and that was like four before I got my 2wd. From ghe pictures I naively believed it was just a case of ordering a few different parts for the front end but by the sounds of it that isn't the case.

Is the XB4 chassis flat? As my XB4 2wd has some kick up.

Track down Stu Wood as he is rocking both the X-rays in the North West.

You could pop down to Southport one Sunday and have a gander at my 2WD.
