hi mate,

some of the main things to look for hop up wise would be an alu motor clamp but these are very hard to get hold of.. id definatly get some springs, the most common used are green, silver or blue on the fron end and mainly red or pink on the back.. not sure about modifacations or building tips as mine come new but built.. but id take a look at the review on the car jimmy did ..

the guys to see about set ups would be people like phil sleigh or somebody.. also for youre motor gearing the kit xx4 worlds edition comes with a purple spur gear which is 84 tooth, on the average size track it would be 20 ? to start off with ??.. but in the review jimmy has done this is stated ..

" I was advised at this point to swap the kit 84t spur gear (purple) for a smaller 82t (yellow) spur, this is im told to prevent the spur from touching the chassis under (very) heavy landings, this may not be necessary on the re-release but from what I’m told it is the choice of a lot of drivers anyway "

The xx4 is very competetive from the box.

The only thing I would say is with the factory turnbuckles, if you run the rear link position everyone runs, there are only a few threads inside the ball cups, and so can pull out

You'll need Red rear springs and Silver fronts as a starting point.
With the current shortage of front shock towers the Carbon Fibre shock tower stiffeners I sell are also a good idea.

Lots of people run a One Way Diff, if you chose to do this you will need CVDs for the front as well.

The xx4 comes with a 78 tooth spur out the box.

So gearing for an 11 is about 19 on a 78 spur. Am i right mr sleigh or mr preddy????

I would recomend changing the spur to make gearing easier. So either get a 82 or 84 tooth spur.(yellow and purple)

Also i recomend upgrading the ball cups from the standard ones to the factory white or grey ones.

With springs as dom has said you will need red rear and silver front. I wouldalso get green front because in some conditions on grass you will have to much steering with silver springs so if you use green springs it willmake the car more managable.

With silver springs always cut 1 and 1/2 coils off one end of each of them this is to make the spring harder and more like the green spring.
