RC10B4.1 FT/WC

Thanks man! Thats the reason i stuck with it as long as i did. Part of it may heve been my set-up just got down a beaten trail since i really started playing with pistons and springs but im just over how un-predictable the car can be (22) on a medium bite track and if the track changes and you dont do a set-up change its hard to run at a race pace.
I got my b4 dialed in yesterday and i will have to say im about .5 secondes faster on average. I used to race a b4 a long time ago ever since it was the stealth car so im glad to be back with it. If you saw my car at wcrc saturday it was somewhat hurting but thats my fault for not going thru a car before running it. Had way too much rear toe plus the previous owner had the esc mounted in the battery tunnel and i couldn't tell that the anti squat shim came out of place and only on one side lol. I put the newer version shim in as well as a lot less rear toe and the car came to life.

You stuck with the shorties? I jumped over to the full size packs last week and had a much easier time dialing in the car. Seemed considerably more stable overall but I made a bunch of other changes as well. Right now, my fast lap is .4 seconds qucker than with the 22 but I didnt make any changes from the last layout to the present on the 22 and it was handling terrible. Liking the car a lot right now but I didnt really have any complaints with the 22 either.
since i cant fit a full size pack without it hovering over the servo so i have another bare chassis that im going to play with and come up with a compromise
I love this car and wish i had stuck it out during my last short stent with the +8 chassis but things happen for a reason and the things i learned during my time away from this car are in-valuable

The 22 was too squirrley getting back on power (med to high traction track). I removed weight up front, played with droop, raised the tranny, etc. etc.
First day out with the B4, my fast lap was 1 second faster. Now that I'm more consistient, and turning 2 more laps.

The 22 was all hyped up at first but once the dust settles alot of people are getting rid of there 22's.

The rest is personal preference/convienences, and for a better 'feel' to the car. IMO.

The worlds kit basically has everything you need to be competitive. The stock setup is a great place to start and then you can make changes for your track.

I'm running a Hitec 7940 and am very happy with it's performance even though it's only receiving 6v. Lots of people seem to really like the new Radiopost servos and they're priced well.
