Just wondering what some peoples preferences are on XC GNCC setups as far as like ....

A-arm length ( +.5 , +1 , +2 )
SwingArm length ( ?? )
Axle Length ?
How bout some tire sizes ?
Rim sizes also ( 10 inch front ? ) ( 9 or 10 inch rear?? )
Also does everyone keep there motors close to stock or fully modded ? I would think sortof stayin close to stock would help with durability?
Also noticed some people run nerfs and some people only run aluminum heel guards , Personally i could not see my self ever not using nerfs on a quad.... That would be my first mod ever. But like i said just looking for some opinions. Thanks guys

i run nerfs with stock heel guards...

some guys run nerfs with no nets, for the reverse factor of 450s in the woods....

I'm switching from mx to xc and this what I'll be running:

A-arms= +1
Swingarm= stock 07
Axle= set at 46"
Front tire= 21"
Rear tire= 20"
Rim front= 10" 4-1 offset
Rim rear= 9"
As for the motor, you don't need a lot for xc, a good cam and head porting is always a plus. If you want a different piston I'd stay below 13-1
And I run nerfbars, feels strange without them anymore

A-arm length: +.5 or +1 is usually what you will find. Either will be ok
SwingArm length: I've seen stock 06-up, and from +.75 to +1.25. Depends on what rear linkage you want to run as well.
Axle Length: Stock width axle is good.
How bout some tire sizes: 21" Front 20" Rear
Rim sizes also: 10 inch front 4+1 offset and 9 inch rear
The motor is up to you, but getting a cam and head work would be enough.
Check out Rath Racing, they make a XC nerf that is narrower for us XC racers
