Xb2 rear grip on carpet

Buggyman · #1 23-01-2016

Hi all, I need a little help here. I am running my xb2 as per kit setup with the medium front plastics and 40 gram under lipo weight and I can't seem to to get rear traction. When I apply the brakes or try to accelerate out of a corner, the back end want to come around. Any suggestions?.

I did my setup as per the Malin EOS on petit. Only difference is I am running composite front bulkhead and only 25G under the lipo instead of 50g. Lipo to the front. My rear end was absolutely locked in on medium grip carpet. I mean LOCKED in.

Sorry to hijack this post a little,(could be silly question time)but is the ball diff a direct fit into the xb2?. Hopefully I should be getting the car in the next few weeks and if it does ill get one for it.

I had this issue. Solved it by loosening the slipper.
