Hey all just pulled the trigger on a ft b4.1 wc I went with the losi red springs front and white rear shaved u brace and cf hubs. Gonna run a full size stick pack 4000 mah Hyperion. Just looking for any tips on weights and placement. Going to run 17.5 blinky. Thanks in advance.

0.030in = 0.762mm. The average mustache hair is 0.25mm.
You really thought it necessary to point out that you use a 1mm shim vs. a 0.762mm one?

Reducing some play for onroad maybe... But off road? The car is already bouncing about in the dirt, clay or carpet. Is taking out .030 of slop really needed?

Agreed. Same thing with bearings. For most applications abec 3 or 5 are the most common. Abec 7 have the least play and stricter tolerances, but cause too much friction and resistance. With abec 7 bearings you woud have no slop at all in your bearings, but they would have too much rolling resistance. Sometimes a little play is a good thing, and there for a reason for that.

Anyone see something interesting with this b4.1?

Found out why fast:
"You're not crazy, Ty did that himself. He chopped off the sides, did some dremel work, and re-epoxied the sides to the narrowed chassis. Pretty slick if you ask me. He could possibly be running a proline 22 body on there, as well, to compensate for the narrower profile."

I'm a "newbie" and have a question. I'm heading to the track this weekend for the first time and got everything packed away nicely in my rolling tool box. How do you guy's transport your cars? Everything fit in my tool box but the car.
