With the kit shocks not sure. Everyone has been running either AE or Losi shocks just because the sport ones weren't good for serious racing. Need some time with the pro to figure out the shocks.

I would say stop by www.rc10b4.com and get some info on setting up the vehicle.

I have 37.5 all around with 3 hole in rear & 2 hole in front. Kit springs, positioned as shown in manual. Works OK but probably won't be my 'final' answer.

The kit springs won't be the answer as it isn't stated anywhere what they are. I would say give AE springs a try, see if they fit the SB without any issues. I will be putting my SB Pro together or mostly together tonite and I run AE springs so I will post what I find.

All else fails, AE and Losi shocks have been made to fit, for AE, B4 shocks work well. if the Kit ones don't work good for me, I am going to B4 shocks, possibly threaded ones.

How is your vehicle feeling right now? Maybe I can help.

I would give FB a try. Much cheaper than the Kose mount and looks pretty nice too.

Can't wait to see what other designs you come up with.

For guys viewing this board for SB stuff, www.rc10b4.com has the hot SB Board.

Default SB Pro Avaliability???

Cain,

Greetings from your buddies back in CT. Glad to see your still going strong with your SB. I've been looking for a place to get a Pro from and haven't been able to find any online places that have them. I'm probably just looking in the wrong places. Can you hook a brother up with some info. Thanks.

Ron

You best place to order an SB pro is www.ultimatehobbies.com Make sure and call them and request it. Sells for about $225 I believe.
