What sort of run times is everyone geting with the xb.I know with my mcd running a stock 27.2 I get abour 25 min just curios as our finals at our club are 20.But the mcd has a 700ml tank and the xb only 500ml.If it does'nt make the 20 min mark I may have to try and fit a bigger tank on it.This weekends race will be its first outing

I would all so like to know the answer on the XB run time. My baja 5b has a 700cc tank and with a stock 26 get about 45 minutes. Have not checked to see what I get with the race ported 30.5 I just put in it.

I have raced the xb on a dirt oval track with wide open most of the time and I was able to run 27 min if you are running off road you will not be on the throttle as long and should get longer run times.

So there is a good chance on off road to do a 30 minute main depending on what engine you are running on a tank?

Thanks

Yes a good chance with the stock motor.

couldn't tell ya anymore. i get about 5-10mins before it breaks something. maybe a bearing or my 3rd wheel witch just happened again today. pissed me off this time cause it was just bought and only lasted 5 mins, plus my front drive gave out on me. so i took out the baja and enjoyed beating the living hell out of it and after 40min i ran out of gas and no broken parts.

I have had my xb for a little over 2 months and I have not broken anything that was not human era hitting the outside wall on the track I do run the 8,000 clutch spring the hop up bearings from ol fart front and back and I race it very hard every weekend at least a gallon of gas on Saturday and about half of gallon on Sundays

i havent got the upgraded wheels hubs yet but i have the wheel adaptors for the hpi wheels. i just haven't got the wheels for it so i've been running the stock ones and have found that you can only go in a straight line cause if ya slide it the rim pulls right off the buggy. i had a shock shaft snap just driving it around in the grass not jumping or anything. this winter she's going to get some serious upgrading done cause i want to drive her for atleast 1 full tank.lol
