XB8 SET-UP❍ REAR WINGAdjust the position and angle of the rear wing using the different mountingposition of the wing supports.IMPORTANT!Make equal adjustments on both left andright sides of the rear wing.Wing position/angleHigherLowerForwardRearwardFlatter angleSteeper angleCharacteristics· increases stability at higher speeds· increases stability at lower speeds· decreases rear traction· increases rear traction· level jumping or nose-diving· increases traction at higher speeds· less nose-diving❍ CLUTCHYou can adjust the engagement characteristics of the clutch by changing the clutchsprings or changing the orientation of the clutch shoes.Clutch SpringsAdjust the engagement characteristics of the clutch by using different clutch springs.Clutch springs CharacteristicsThinner (0.9mm) · clutch engages earlier at lower RPM· more gradual acceleration· easier to drive but not as aggressiveThicker (1.0mm) · clutch engages later at higher RPM· more sudden acceleration· car is more aggressiveClutch Shoe OrientationAdjust the engagement characteristics of the clutch by changing the orientation of the clutch shoes.Clutch shoe orientationTrailing shoesLeading shoesTrailing shoesCharacteristics· clutch engages more smoothly· more ideal for slick track conditions· clutch engages more aggressively· more ideal on high-traction tracksLeading shoes❍ DIFFERENTIALSAdjust the characteristics of the differentials by using thinner or thicker silicone oil.Changing the oil in the front differential affects overall steering response.Changing the oil in the center differential affects the front-to-rear drive.Changing the oil in the rear differential affects cornering traction and overall steering.Differential Oil thickness CharacteristicsFront Thinner · increases steering into corners (off-power)· if oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent,especially it can lose forward traction(and steering) during acceleration out of cornersThicker· increases stability into corners during braking· increases steering on-power at corner exitCenter Thinner · front wheels unload more during acceleration· decreases on-power steering (reduces oversteer)· easier to drive on rough tracks· if a high-power engine is used you could waste too muchpower and sometime “cook” the oil in the center differentialbecause it “overloads”Thicker· more all-wheel drive effect· better acceleration· increases on-power steering (reduces understeer)· better suited on high-bite, smooth tracks· car can be more nervous to drive especially if a high powerengine is used - you might need to be smooth on the throttleRear Thinner · increases cornering traction· increases steering into cornerThicker· decreases rear traction while cornering· reduces wheelspinUse only the genuine premium qualityXray silicone diff oils.
