I've never driven on a rc track. So to get my feet wet, I just received a XRAY XB4D 4x4 buggy (dirt) plus, a Hobbywing XR10 Stock Spec G2 Sensored Brushless ESC/V10 G4R Motor Combo (17.5T) I eventually want to race stock 17.5 buggy
I love my Xray XB2 & XB4. I find that the buggies are of great quality and there are quite a few parts available to improve them. They are already top-notch right out of the box. As for the motor, maybe a 17.5T won't be powerful enough, but I don't drive on dirt... I drive on astro and carpet. I run a 13.5T blinky.
Hi, quick question: Diff gears are all plastic? If yes, is there a limit on KV? Can plastic gears survive 3S assuming the diff oil is perfect and frequently changed? Evil tongues spread rumors that metal gears eat up 5% of shaft power in friction losses. Is that true?
Personally, at my level, I don't see much difference in terms of power. I installed metal gears as well as the cross... it runs just as well. It's up to you to decide if you want to modify this part.

How do you find the play in the diff housing? I find it verry suboptimal compared to do pr racing or even the yokomo MO 1.0 ...
I have no problem with front and rear differentials on my XB4
I have a central slipper on the carpet model
