R/C Tech Forums - RC10B4.1 FT/WC

AE train now boarding!!!!

I've been running a TLR22 since returning from a break in racing. After being the subject of much ridicule from my friends, I decided to sell one of my Losi's and give the B4.1WC a try. Hopefully, I will not be let down. I haven't wheeled an AE buggy since the original RC-10.

...and just out of curiosity, why are a lot of you guys running MIP axles? Reminds me of the old days! lol

We are running mip axles?

ok, I am going to put together an order and wanted to try the BB spring conversion. These are the parts I need, correct?

Thinking of a 1258TG...thoughts?

1258 or 1257 are good servos from savox for buggy

you like the reds better? I was debating between the losi and traxxas ones. I have heard people say they broke the losi retainers.

why would you want to go so soft? Brown is AE's lightest front spring at 2.8 lbs. The Orange is 2.9 and the red is 2.5. From what I have read the spring rates when switching over should be close to what you use now.

Here's my problem I am using hex wheels all the way around, I used all the correct parts for the front (I hope) and I am using the same lock nuts in the front as I am in the rear. My problem is if I tighten down the front to much the wheel will no longer spin freely so I have to loosen it just enough so that it does. Anyone know what the problem is, did I forget a part, did I install something wrong? PLEASE HELP LOL

Did you use the c-clip inside the axles?

just finished my car and it's loud too :mad:... i also had a brand new kit with all new AE gears(pinion/spur). i don't want to have to take it apart but i don't like LOUD cars. jr! hopefully see you tuesday night and you can do it. :nod:

I tried orange because thats what my LHS had, then I put in the reds a week later. I guess I reallly don't notice the difference because I am new to this. I had to much front bite with the reds indoor on carpet, and not enough bite outdoor so I guess it just depends. Everyone says red, so I would start there.

I'm getting a new 13.5 for my B4.1 this weekend. Anyone got a good gearing combo (non-boosted) as a starting point?

Yeah I thought I fixed it, what happened was the roll pins got bent so I replaced them and it was working just fine, however since I'm not using the c-clip's its allowing the axle to be loose causing the roll pins to bend easily. So it was a partial fix until I bent the pin again. So I bought c-clips at my local track along with new roll pins and now it is good to go.........
