I agree billet i would like to think these cars are fairly consistent at least for the cost of them i would hope.....im not kevin rumley bye any means but also dont think im a idiot also i feel like no matter what i try or change not much of a difference in the car....its a slow stop and go track i run at mostley thats slick the kryptonite cars shine there would like to keep my rocket but the starting up front and falling to 7th or 8th most nights is making me question the car....or maybe the reality is i suck haha thanks for the replies

I'd say the car is no good. What you want for it?

we just updated our 2010 blue to xr1 rear brackets and it has never been faster.. definitely tighter, had to loosen entry and middle but way better

In case I made my post sound wrong: Slick or powdery stop and go tracks with an XR1 aren't great using something similar to the baseline set up. You will need to stray a fair ways from the base, in a couple area's but again really depends on the track, dirt, tires and rules.

The baseline is more for when you can momentum race, IMO.

thats my next idea is to put a 300 in rf try stiffing it up some all the way threw travel and i just got one of the swift 2.5-5 80lb springs for lr has anyone had any luck with it?

If you need an 80# spring, it will serve you well. Nothing magic.

Totally Agree MBR, with that I wouldn't use a single LR spring unless your bound to it by a rule (crates lates usually)

iv ran stacks on it and sucked lol im thinkin just use straight springs on all 4 corners and breaking out the scales and set it up like it was 2010 not sure if thats the answer or not but dont think it could be much worse

[Punisher88]

You ran a digressive stack?

I can tell you for a fact there is a difference in early and late xr1s. I have felt it

How many of each did you drive with shocks, components, and dynamic where loads all the same?

[sidewinder69]

I just pulled shocks off one and put on the other and back to back. Early xr1s are better

We don't have an XR-1 but I've heard of a couple local Super teams that went back to 16 cars because they didn't like the 18.

Sooo, how are they better? Serious question! There are different cages, 4 bar plates, LR available drop, bar/s in frame, welded rack skid plate, custom options only some add or delete, etc, etc. If updates were or were not done, two of the same year could be very different, also depends how it was ordered, built, and components used. Track lore spreads as fast as a bad fart, is very situational and subjective. I see plenty of newer cars for sale with old components on them. The used racecar market is a venomous snake pit! Buyer beware!
