Xray Cars Gallery
Starting of with my own. First is my T4 and the other is my 12th scale that I never ran at all with the original chassis. Milled my own because I hate strapping the batteries down with tape. An sort of inline idea with servo infront.
On Friday my XB4 will be up here as well:thumbsup: http://rsb.se/gallery/files/2/6/4/6/img_0826.jpg http://rsb.se/gallery/files/2/6/4/6/img_0893.jpg |
Mine. Best buggy build I've ever done. Brilliant car. Hope it goes as well as it built up.

That does look good! Would be interested to hear how it compares to a zx5.
|
Very nice-You just made me redo my R10-XB4 wiring haha
Looking good! Quote:

Mine, as Jamie said great build, my first xray
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...212_142143.jpg |
My latest build and what a build... best buggy every built... Also decided to add some nice shiney red counter sunk washers to give it a bit more colour :D

Looking good atsang. Loving the blingy bits. Any of you boys run one yet? Mine will be out Wednesday if my shell is back in time. Fingers crossed.
|
Tomorrow morning is its 1st outing.. so fingers crossed it goes well, and that there are no issues!
Pritty confident in it though.. so should be good to see how it goes, as long as the weather is half decent!! |
Nice one let me know how it went. The suspense is killing me. Lol
|
Temporary fix until my pro painted XB4 shell is ready.

Just got back from a morning racing at TORCH!
http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps96129e6e.jpg Anyone have an issue with shock cap weeping some oil? noticed on mine a bit of oil, looks like has leaked from shock cap? (Warning a long write up coming lol) Started Q1 with a 1st place, on a damp track. Q2-Q3-Q4 were all 2nds and Q5 a 1st. Final was a close battle for 1st changing positions every other lap. But an error by me, cost me 1st place. Well, the car so far is fantastic to drive for me it felt solid and I was not worried about the durability aspect. Handles a dream even on the box Carpet setup, grips like no tomorrow and generates more traction than even the FS2 does IMHO. It has enough steering to make 99.99% of drivers turn down there EPA! It reacts well to setup changes and on a damp astro track it is on rails. I would say its a bit of a mix between a DEX410 and a ZX5 FS2. It has the slight aggressive punch/nature of the DEX, but yet still feels very smooth to drive-like the ZX5. I would say its a middle ground between both of those cars. Which is no bad thing in the slightest! Its super quite and very free running for a geared car. Jumps a dream and will be interesting to see what its like in the dry! Got a few comments on how good it looked on track and let a friend drive it. Who currently runs a FS2. Lets just say-He sounded very very tempted ;) All in all, I'm super happy about its 1st run. Already back on pace after a few months off racing and a brand new car. With a stock setup.. Verdict- GET ONE!!!!:D |
Great news. Thanks Jamie. Exactly what I wanted to hear.

Cheers Robbie. Tbh I didn't want the Xray to realise what the shell was designed for in case it made it brittle and prone to wearing out. :thumbdown:

Bit of a long shot I know, but does anyone have a spare front bulkhead I can buy off them? Seem to have cracked mine slightly. Think it happens just before the start of my final. I was going all guns blazing and hit the pipe, on a rigid section. It was that or playing with the 2wd trucks after racing- dirty racers haha - seems ok.. But would like to replace it if possible, checked few shops and non have stock? Cheers gents!
|
Sorry dude. Only did our spares order yesterday and not sure exactly what's coming. Some bits are on back order.
|
Yeah typically rear is in stock.. but no fronts Which is a bummer. It seems ok-But think 1 hard shunt and it could finally fail. Not the end of the world...
Let me know if you do get any cheers buddy |
Deffo mate. We've ordered them so fingers crossed. I'm told the next batch isn't far away so no need to panic yet? Lol
|
haha yeah fingers crossed! Yeah Greg said there is a big batch coming after the NY. So not too long to wait worse case!
More time to eat and drink me thinks :thumbsup: |
Which tires are those for carpet running?
thx! Quote:

Mine with the kit shell. I hated the shape but its growing on me now.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...5461B15CE4.jpg |
How does the fs2 shell fit?
|
It's not miles off. Closest I've found was the SX3 tbh. The chassis is wider at the front so makes other shells tricky to fit it a way good enough to run.
|
Xb4
Looks cool that mate.
Must admit the shell is growing on me now, like the RB6 has. Stickers look good too. :thumbsup: |

got my xb4 on order but want some of these washers where are they available and what size?? thanks |
Look just like 3mm countersunk. Get them on eBay mate. That's where I got nine.

Here is an example search on counter sink washers at AmainHobbies:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/advanced...ersink&x=0&y=0 An alternative is if you want to use cap head screws you might be looking for these kind of washers: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Washer-Blue-6 Just examples. Ebay is probably a better source. Cheers |
@jimi126
these washers are the JQ counter sunk washers. the reason i used these are because they include M4 washers which are needed ho hold down the power wires from the speedo and attach them to the chassis... Think the car needs a bit more colour but bar that the car is fantastic!!! Had the car out for the first time today and i was absolutely gob smacked!!! I am comparing it to the durango 410 and the xb4 has soo much more steering in comparison. When running the 410 i down use any D/R on my remote and instantly on semi worn mini spikes on astro i had to reduce the steering to 55% on my remote. The car itself is very smooth and works very well when pushing hard and the car was really settled i believe this was due to the body but i wouldnt have a lot of knowledge in this area. I had the car set up with the clay set up thats included in the kit and the chassis was set up to be stiff. At the beginning i had a few real nasty knocks and i have to say the plastics and build quality of the car is second to none and along with the build i would highly recommend this car to anyone!!! Ended up TQ-ing and winning the 4wd tonight but due to small numbers i can only wait til the new year to really see the full potential the car has especially on polished wood. |
Ran mine too last night on worn carpet with loads of jumps/obstacles. Track flowed really well. The car was very very good. Mine was set to the carpet setup other than thinner diff oils. As said before, steering is very good. It was very stable and easy to push hard. It was a touch tail happy but clearly a setup change would've tamed in right down. Lots of hairpins in the track so I left it alone as it rotated brilliantly. It is tough as an altercation with a wayward SC truck proved! Overall I'd say this is a great car with bags of potential. I also played with the slipper all night and can safely say the diff gears are more than good enough for the job. Braking hard over bumps would have the rears dancing in the air. If you're on the fence about this car, go and get one. You won't be disappointed.

Did i read somewhere that ball diffs would be an option or was that a pipe dream?
:) |
They are an option mate.
