Remarks – Former European Champion Yannick Aigoin has come to Las Vegas with the latest XB8 from Xray. Powered by the Ultimate M4R power plant, the car is fairly standard apart from a new prototype bodyshell and the use of XB9 lower rear arms together with narrower lower suspension blocks. The idea is that the longer arms are better over the bumps but that comes at the loss of traction. Using his base XB8 setup here, he has only adjusted the anti-roll bars front (softer) and rear (harder) and went from 6 to 8 holes in the shock pistons. Having tried Pro-Lines Switchblade and ElectroShot tires so far in practice, for round 1 of qualifying tomorrow he plans to go out on Blockades.
