Bent
it's a problem for sure. sticking out when there is some suspension compression. it gets in the way and can stop you dead on some tracks. I was always running mine without the plastic piece, which usually resulted in a bent FF hanger, despite not actually hitting anything other than bottoming out.
Depends on the track i guess, but it was always a problem. I ran a T bone bumper for a while, which really helped, despite looking crap and its lowered ground clearance, until it broke.
Moving to the yokomo was such a pleasure to not be bottoming out and hitting the front of the car on the track, or gouging out a channel on jump faces.

Changed from xb4 for that exact reason :(

andoiwebb 03-10-2014 04:45 PM
Front bumper issue?? I've run these since they came out and never EVER had a front bumper issue. Weird.

Anyway, a new 4wd is nice but not really necessary.

What do we want?

2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD 2WD

When do we want it?

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, can we have an update to the current XB4 2wd with a proper 2wd front end please? This would make the Xray 10th offroad range complete and AWESOME!

Tom3012 03-10-2014 04:51 PM
'All-new'? Looks the same in that picture to me :woot:

Tell us more Bent?

Will the updates on the new-ish 4wd for on the current 2wd?

andoiwebb 03-10-2014 05:37 PM
Going by the euros, there may be a centre diff. Don't think that will work in the 2wd!

The XB4 is one of the most balanced cars to jump and this shouldn't be an issue at all if you have the right jumping technique and setup.

Never been an issue for the close to 2 years running them.

Did replace 1 FF hanger the first month of Malin running hers though after hitting a steel fence at the local indoor track :)

But if you keep digging into jump faces you are either running it way too low or way too soft.

And if you land with your tires stopped or on your nose it could very well dig in for sure……but you want to give it a bit of throttle just before landing to take advantage of the forward momentum as you land and then instantly get on the throttle (or brake if there's a turn) ;)

But yes it does stick out a tiny bit further than a couple of the other 4WD's out there.

Bent
? I never thought the landing were crap? are they? it was ok jumping yes. I ran mine for a year. I put up with the bumper digging in, but it certainly highlighted the car wasn't tested on certain types of tracks in it initial development (bumpy and low traction).

Now I notice other people still running the xray having issues with the bumper digging in, most recently at RHR. Their setup, not mine :thumbsup:

Really? Had no issues at RHR autumn cup. came home with a lovely 1st place trophy. Mind you don't get me started on it over the rumble strips at F2's:(.

Xb4 2015 centre diff
 
Hi bent

What do you think of the centre diff and what sort of tracks or conditions would it be best for?

andoiwebb 04-10-2014 08:35 PM
:p:pGreat, more opportunities to get myself and all my stuff covered in my touring car 1000000wt oil, it's so thick I'd class it as a solid!!! It gets EVERYWHERE! Or maybe that's just me :p :p

It also magically disappears once the buggy is properly setup.

Bent, could you please help me out there? I think I have that issue :blush:

Lee1972 12-11-2014 11:01 AM
What's the diffing out issue?

bally 12-11-2014 01:10 PM
We are expecting our XB4 2015 Spec kits to arrive on the 19th, currently we haven't been given a price, so i've guessed at £349.99 any kits Pre-Ordered will be supplied at this price or less should it be cheaper than we are expecting!

Coolio, I hope there's some cool stuff to stick on my 2wd.

Not early risers at Xray it seems. Did they get into work this morning and suddenly remembered they were supposed to be announcing a revised car or something. :lol:

How much longer can you wait Dave:p:p
