And Durango prototyped the original 210 off the B4 front end, there's always going to be some amount of similarities especially when something works.

I wonder how the carpet edition car will perform on a track like Maritime which is mostly slippy floor with some carpert here and there.

Maritime is the other way round. Mostly carpet and some slippy floor. The YZ2 and RB6 both work really well there so I'm sure the XB2 will work great. A friend of mine will be running his at the next round of the championship.

Thanks for clarifying, I have never actually been, but meaning to go for some time. Just by the videos it looks slippy in most places.

Tried my xb2 tonight on carpet with the basic carpet setup. Far too soft on the rear for me but it was ok. Drove very much like my yz2. Hopefully can dial it in more for next week.

Bought one. Let's see how it goes compared to the Yz2. Happy days.

I'm hearing the manual is wrong and shows part of the steering set up being the wrong way around and you can't get full steering, is this right ?

If so, is it to do with the two arms be the upside down?

Ross , after reading on the xb2 fb page , the way i read it is the knuckles have to have the shamfered edge to the inside , as fitting the otherway the knuckle catches on the c-hub , tbh when building mine i found it hard to determine which way to fit them , as the picture isn't very clear .

Just got my xb2, looking for any tips or must do's. Racing indoors at the moment on Astro turf and carpet tracks.

Nice to be on board with xray, anyone else sick of hearing ... It's just a Yokomo!?
