Weird, why would you need one of those?

There's a bit more on RedRC about the 2014 XB4 http://www.redrc.net/2013/10/xray-xb...ed/#more-72746

This shows the new features in more detail, and now makes my list of parts clearer: http://www.teamxray.com/xb4/

for upgraders, looks like the new wishbones front and rear, and optional (to 2014 kit) parts, like the new rear suspension hangers for low traction, optional brass rear weights, and maybe the new slipper bits (I had no issue with the old one?). The split chassis mod, I've done that already for the ralls racing under gearbox weight. no need to buy a new piece for that, only other difference is two holes for mounting rear weights. A drill and counter-sink can sort that ;-)

It doesn't look to me like a lot has changed, lots of the listed changes were v2 parts or running changes anyway, shock o-rings, bevel gears, v2 diff outdrives, etc.

Very interested to try the new 2mm offset wishbones for weight shift. also rear wishbones are redesigned to allow for front and rear shock mounting. I suspect this option will be a feature of the 2wd car.

I'll keep mine and buy a few upgraded bits.

I'd be interested to hear if there were a few "must haves" as upgrades from the current xb4 and if a pack of recommended items could be put together

Actually, looking at the "Wheelbase Adjustment" section on the new 2014 spec, it looks like they have mixed up the high traction/low traction description in the table and animation: http://www.teamxray.com/xb4/
They conflict as to which (arms forward or rear) is for low/high traction.
