XRAY - Model racing cars

in the review article in rc driver they suggest using 40 wt oil in all shocks and 5000 diff oil for front diff. do you agree with this?

yes 5 in front will do fine

im currently using 45 in my front shocks, 30 in the rear

what do you suggest to use in the center and rear diffs? will the supplied oils be ok, or should I get something else?

Is this the Newest RC driver! Did they do a full write up of the buggy?

The biggest problem in trying to give or get setup advice on the net is that they will rarely work 100%.

- Each track is different.
- Driving style is never factored in a setup sheet.

The best advice if you're really serious about getting the very best out of ANY buggy is to do you're OWN setup. It will take time (some can find the best setup in within 5 tanks, but most need up to a gallon).

Luckily this is where the XB8 truly shines as the included manual takes out a lot of the myth and urban legends out there. Read it over and over and look for the characteristics you want out of your buggy and which part you need to adjust to get it to do what you want it to.

Just did a checkup on my XB8 after 8 tanks or so and noticed that both universals had come loose.
I did use locktite on the grubscrews, luckily I didn't lose anything.

I think red locktite would be the way to go for these grub-screws.
