Sorry guys, I wasn't following this topic as it's for U.S team.
Arushmen, you shouldn't be worry! I'm using the 6 holes 1,2mm pistons from the kit and they work great! I use them in any condition and they are exctremely efficient! You can start with 500 front and 450 rear and go higher if the temperature is over 20 degrees celcius or with high grip. You can follow my last set-up sheets on the right section of the forum.
Concerning the springs, I use the soon to be released 3 stripes springs that we got from the Neo race back in April. I use the same ones front and rear and they are great in every condition too! No need to worry about modifying or changing this part of the setup all the time! Just changing oil depending on temperature and grip level!
The XB9 shocks are the best quality and durability I have ever use!

Enjoy your ride!
Reno

Hi Guys

I drove for many brands and XB9 shocks are the best that you can have. Quality and durability is amazing. Most time I use 8 hole pistons 1,2 in front with 500 oil and 1,3 rear with 600 oil. I prefer this shock set-up when track is bumby and low grip. When we have track with more grip and flat surface I use 6 piston with holes 1,3 everywhere. For front i use 500 oil and 450 for rear. Xray will have very soon new spring witch we use now. They are realy very good.
When is low grip i use 2 strips for rear and 3 strips for front. High grip 3 strips everywhere.

Hi all,
Is there any chance we could have the setup sheets for both the XB9 and XT8 from Josh Wheeler at the recent roar nationals?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks.

So when Martin says he use 3 stripe springs in front and rear, he uses same springs in both end?

Or will there be

358175
358176
358177

For front???

I have 358174 front springs and 358274 rear springs... or am I understanding something wrong?

Hello Josh, first off great job at the Futaba challenge in St Louis. This was my first visit to the track and first time getting to watch pro drivers show us little guys how its done. This was also the first time getting to see the XB9 in person (main reason I made the trip to this track). I tried to talk with you several times to ask some questions about the XB9 in comparison to my 808 but you seemed busy all weekend. Anyways, I am going to be purchasing a XB9 buy the end of the week and wanted to know if you would be posting any of your setup sheets from the race this weekend. Thanks for your time and again, great job this weekend by you and all the other Xray drivers.

Hey guys, just letting you know that I'm back and happy to be back with Xray!

In saying so, I will be here and will do my best to answer questions as I did before to help anyone out with their Xray rides!

As I'm getting familiar with my XB9, which should not take long, I would also like to hear your feed back and experiences with yours. I am also awaiting the 2013 and I'm excited to see what happens and how the XB9 will be improved. I'm really liking the XB9 so far!

Welcome back JB! Also saw on RCTech that Rocco is rocking the XB9 too. Very nice!

Thanks Robin! Good to hear from you. Yes we get to put up with him from time to time again but it's been fun.
