i actaully posted on this three weeks ago when i first got my mbx4-RR. After reading your post on a good setup for a tight track i would keep your RR. the RR is better suited for a small tight track where as the XR is made for a longer more sweeping track. However you would basically need a new chassis, center universal joints both short and long, the XR uses a full aluminum center diff brace which is a good upgrade for the RR anyway, and there are a coupla other little parts that come with the XR that aren;t totally nesacary for the conversion. honestly you would be better finding a roling chassis and just swhicthcing you equipment per the track you run on. I like to run tight courses and what not so i just left mine as a RR
