Factory Setting's XB8e and XB2.....Your thoughts Pls

[bennettironman]

Been Thinking guys and girls.....do we all get a little bit lost when thinking about our set up on our Rc Models for racing ?
I race both X Ray XB2 carpet and XB8e Astro Turf...been at it a few years now but never really settled with it..mainly due to looking for the perfect set up.
but really should i be thinking of trying to improve my driving rather than changing this and that constantly....apart from obvious stuff like tyres and shock/diff oils in warm and cold weather...should i revert both models back to the Factory box settings as listed in the build manuals.
well I have done just that folks,
I am under the impression that X Ray manuals the builds are more designed for US dirt tracks ..am i correct?
If so why dont they list various builds for the different track surfaces the sport uses.

So if my cars are now set up as per the instruction (XB8e) am i assuming i have a Dirt spec build .

Hope the Forum can shed some light on this ....

So in a 'nutshell' set buggies up to the manual and improve driving..dont over complicate it.

I never use the setup provided in the manual because they don't specify the track condition. I recommend searching for a setup posted for your given track condition on their setup DB:
https://setup.teamxray.com/

Keep in mind that setup will just get you in the ballpark and then you'll need to fine tune it from there where I use this as my guide
