Thanks,

Not that I have seen--why would you though, 2s gives more power than 2wd can really put down already..Unless you dont get your cars "dirty" then carpet tracks may handle it, but you would be adding another 8-10 oz on to a chassis not really built for the extra...JMO--

I ran a 4s 3700 pack in my T4 with a MM and a Castle 4600. It was insane and would blow the rear tires off. It was just for fun in a parking lot.

Can probably be done, but if you just want something thats gonna be fast then just run a 2s pack with a 3.5 turn or 4.5 turn bl motor. It will be insane from the basher standpoint, but not good for much else.

I know my turnigy 4s 4500's I use in my mugen will fit the b4 but I think 2s and a boosted 17.5 works well

1 it wouldnt fit and 2 it would melt the drivetrain.

1. Some 4s packs fit.

2. No it would not melt the drive train if it was paird with say a 7.5t 550.. and 32pitch gears.

I would like to see someon try and see if they could get this to work. It would probably take a lot of work to get 32 pitch gears to fit on a B4.

I don't think you'd be able to put any of the power down to the ground. You'd hit the throttle and you'd see 2 rear wheels roll away while the chassis sits there on the ground.

I'll sum this whole thread up with WTF is wrong with you????

My majic 8-ball says your next thread will be "AE sucks, first run I broke every part but the motor plate, that got bent though"

Why would 4s in a B4 even cross anyones mind??

2S and a 14x2 brushed motor already beat the snot out of the wing on a B4...why on earth would you want to go bigger?

Maybe he's an airplane guy and wants to make it fly? I've flown aerobatic R/C planes too so I can tell you 4s in a B4 isn't the best way to try and mimic the Wright brothers..

oh gosh, everyone, lol...

thanks for all your input.

Cuz I was considering the purchase of a mamba max pro with either a 4600kV motor or 5700kV. and I know that 3s on the 5700kV is the highest it can go (wouldn't put the 6900 or 7700 in the b4 so they don't count here) but then squirell on Youtube talked about how a 4s with a 4600 is actually the highest, since the 5700 on 3s does not produce as high of rpm's as does the 4600 on 4s, and the 5700 can't cant 4s but the 4600 can, and also the 4600 would be producing a more (efficent?) run since it's originally a lower kv or whatever the rule is

It was just an idea, just wondering...wanting to hear stories...tis all!

Thanks everyone!

so should I get a 4600 or 5700? And I'm pretty stuck on the Castle Mamba series so yeah

2 cells and a 4600 in a B4 is ridiculous.

You should enjoy it. ThunderbirdJunkie runs an MM and 4600 (for the time being) in his XXX-SCT.
