why do you need to change the turnbuckles to gold kyoshos and also why the long soft arm and do you have to fit them all round eg just bottom or top and bottom of each arm |

turnbuckles have been updated, no need of changing em. Front brace - not necessary - actually here in finland we run plastic braces both f/r, somebody said to take even rear off... soft lower arms f/r are good white springs possibly (rough track?) +1mm hex if needed (rough track?) more steering modification if needed ( http://www.teamxray.com/xforum/viewtopic.php?t=2021 ) |

If your a good driver , you will be sucsefull with the kit dierctly out of the box with a little fine tuning on setup for your track. A guy at one of our State races a couple weeks ago, TQed and Won the "A" with a bone stock Xray out of the box. And he only had it for two weeks, and this was his first year running 8th scale and he owned a Mayhem before that. The car has great abilitly out of the box, if set up correctly Other than that I would suggest the soft arms to help smoothen the car out. |

I recommend it . it stiffens up the chassis so the gear mesh is more constant. plus it is a work of art. you don't need a ball end hex driver to remove the motor any more. |
