Rear arms are the same except for graphite plate holes (I know, I used an old when when I didn't have spares)

Front arms are not the same. The '14 items are longer at the pivot pin end, so old wishbones would require an additional 2mm of shims, but will still fit.. BUT.. The new wishbones are also thicker on their leading edge, so the shock mounting point is actually further forward than on the old car, think it's 2mm, hence the new car also having 2mm at the top of the shock in the kit setups.

top decks are different, but if not using the centre post, either will fit.

The 2014 ball studs are 0.5mm higher, and have longer thread for the inner camber links.

Thanks everyone, I am really glad a lot of the parts are interchangable which would save me at least $100. Cant wait to give the new version a try. Hopefully it is better.

The old FRONT arms can be used on the New T4 2014 by adding 2mm shims. The New FRONT arms will not fit the old car, you'll need to modify them, I don't recommend it (grinding etc.).
Hello

I'm running the t4 with a few 14 bits fitted, I fitted the wishbones so I can try the plates, no mod needed.

We're going to need a bit more than that.
Can you fill in a setup form on Xray's site and post a link here.

Small change would be to lay down front shocks and / stand up rear shocks one hole
Another small change would be to add some front arm sweep (use .5 out inserts in FF).
Bigger change would be go to reduce rear toe (.5 in on RR or .5 out on RF).
If you lose initial steering from any of those, go thicker in front shock oil.

You can also try more front camber or less rear camber.

If that doesn't work, then I haven't learned anything this week!

Ran a couple packs today before I plugged in the battery backwards and fried my ESC.

The 1.4 rear swaybar really helped high-speed steering, but maybe made it too aggressive on the infield, especially on cold tires.
