Alex97 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Several years ago I had an Xb4, I think it was the 2014 or 15 version. I tried to find a photo however I think I saved them all to my photobucket account that I no longer have. It was a really nice bit of kit however I ended up selling it after a few race meetings and going back to 2wd when associated brought out the B5M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieC Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Here's my one! XB2D 2021. Bought it as a secondhand carpet car but bought the stuff to convert it fully to dirt. Currently running a GM 10.5t motor, Hobbywing Xtreme stock esc, Etronix 20kg low-profile servo and IP 4400 LiHV shorties. Has got the alloy front bulkhead and fully alloy steering rack. Seems to do me well, taking it to the East of England Regionals this year so need to do some astro running with it soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan182uk Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hi All, I am just about to get into racing as my son is the right age to get into it and obviously i will have to get a car too. I used to race the XB8 many many years ago so electric is a little new to me. I brought this the other day on ebay and I know its an older model but would you help identify the year of the car? I think its 2016-2017 model. If so are parts still available? it looks like the wishbones are the same as you can get online now etc. Also i will be racing on astro turf so is there anything i need to change on this to make it better? Do I need to do something with the motor position etc? The seller said they used it as their wet car so assuming its setup with the different parts for that. Many Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks Dan Hi Dan, cant see the pics. Not showing for me. I can help with identifying for you for sure. If its an XB4 then a lot has not changed since 2013. The main changes over the years are: 1) Chassis usually changes over the model years resulting in different battery/servo/esc/motor positions 2) Batteries were mounted in pairs up to 2015 3) Suspension towers changed once (think about 2013/14) 4) Bulkheads have been the same up to 2022 where they added adjustable diff height 5) Bodies have changed but most fit or need different mounts (e.g. you can put a 2022 body on a 2016 car if you get the 2022 rear mount and shims) 6) Front bumper changed after 2018 Once I see your car I can tell you. The look for the explosion diagram of your model and you can see what parts you can get. I run a 2018 and parts are super easy to get. If you have trouble im sure i can help out as I have about 5 cars worth here! 🤣🤣🤣 Edited June 2, 2023 by totlxtc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
