lorrylemming Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 After seeing your link in the other thread I've just ordered one of these. Couldn't stop myself at the price. It'll be my first Xray so interested to compare to my Schumacher and Associated cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The x-ray kit is a dream to build honestly the instructions are brilliant and it's all in bags in order Open bag one build it Open bag 2 build it And so on until car is complete at bag 7 I did the same couldn't stop myself when I walked in and they where at that price And Dave who owns the shop is a top bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just started racing an XB2 on grass and was really impressed with how well it handles on the stock set up And same I am on stock setup These xt2s have been that cheep for the kit ATM that just about everyone who races local has gone one so we have some good stadium truck events now and everyone comments on how well they grip and corner The downside to the st is they have a bit to much body roll So got stiffer springs and rear anti roll bar kit on the way for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass track is only about 10 mins from my house, so very convenient. Unfortunately the next closest track is well over an hour away but hoping to get over there at some point as it looks like an awesome track. Bet a big heat full of them is fun to race in!

windz1000r Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 So will add some more pics later but will be tweaking the suspension a bit Adjusting a few bits as body roll is a bit more than I would like So have gone for dot 3 springs front and rear And the rear anti roll bar kit I see how this goes on wed and if am still not happy plan is to swap the front 1.4mm anti roll bar to the rear And order the 1.8mm anti roll bar for the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windz1000r Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 So for the rear 1mm anti roll bar and roll center moved to highest point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borked Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I guess you might’ve already seen this, but here’s a setup guide for the XT2 https://site.petitrc.com/setup/xray/setupxt2/XT2_SetupHelper/ I found one for the XB4 it’s really useful for working out what you could alter to make handling changes you’re after Edited August 8, 2022 by Borked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieC Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I see you're selling this dude! A real shame you couldn't get time for racing, I find it a lot more rewarding than just bashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
