Sorry, should have proof read my post. What I meant was the ISS is a complete set for front and rear, but the Euro it looks like the you must purchase the front and rear individually. The description on the Xray website does not list the total amount of adjustment for the ISS and the Euros,however if you are using the ISS and are happy with it than the amount of adjustment should be sufficient for me.

Thanks Gari

Is there a difference between the 808 and XT8 active diff other than the bearing size? I'm just wondering if I can get 1 and swap it between truck and buggy.

Also on the 808, what's the purpose of using a slightly smaller bearing with a plastic sleeve over it? I've just been replacing them with the same bearings the XT8 uses.

Good job at the Nats. Did you not run truggy? I didn't see your name listed.

Is there any way we could get Wheelers XT8 setup he used? I saw he was running purple springs so it got me curious to see his full setup.

Jason,

How do you setup your droop? For instance, your setup sheet shows 104mm of droop on the front. Do you set the car to full droop and let the shock length determine the actual droop measurement, or are you building shocks to equal length then adjusting the droop on the car to get them to 104mm. Make sense? I'm just curious since I've been using droop gauges to measure mine.

stupid question, but I have to ask...

do we run the diff gears dry, with no ep grease? instructions show ZERO grease, just wanting to confirm

Hi Josh

Could you put up a set up for the xt8?

Thanks

Hi Josh,

Do you know the logic/thinking behind the 5 degree incline axles? While turning compared to stock axles, they make the outside wheel more vertical and the inside wheel more angled. I've read this increases steering, but I didn't get that affect when I tried mine. Using a box stock setup plus the incline axles, I lost low speed steering, and couldn't really notice any gains. 12 degree hubs helped. Are you suppose to run more castor with these to make them work properly?

Thanks in advance,
Ernest

Wondering if the team drivers check this anymore? Last post, before mine, was back in September.
