Thats what I like about the B4.1, its the basic setup that he seems to use any various tracks. No major deviation other than tires. The car just works!

Which is most certainly brass, unless there is some heavy aluminum we don't know about!

Ok, off my box. Carry on!

It's a two way street man...did the guy ever mention that he does NOT run the rear quarter weights as well, like most all do? His rear toe block itself is 37 grams. If the man is saying that the tracks in Belgium are fluff and loose, then why the hell wouldn't the rear quarter weights be in his car ? Are YOU just assuming that he does not run the quarter weights?

I don't run them :)
I have 1/4oz in each front and the 37gram toe block in the rear..

It seems that there are so many indoor tracks not that ribbed front tires seem rare. AKA does not even make them for the b4. But ribs are what we run. I am normally fairly cheap and run my ribs for a couple years......But I would like to maybe be more proactive on my tires. I noticed my last tires outside rib was rounded but the others were less worn, but still rounded. Would you consider those tires done? Or do you just swap out the front ribs when you not longer have the steering you like? In the past I have run tires till they were bald or my car pushed all the way to the pipe, lol. But I am working on my cheapness handy cap.

I'm running only ribs, if they don't have much grip anymore, try to run them on a narrow rim.

The weight of that speedo is less than 2oz so you will never notice that. Your wing and shock tower are higher than that.

It means nothing. If that speedo being their causes your cog to throw you car off then your doing plenty of other things wrong. If you ran two identical cars side by side but one with the speedo mounted like that you would never tell the difference.

would a shorty be good or bad on a large outdoor non smooth track. I would worry that it would be too light like my sc4x4 and slide all over the place and never get power down.

nice paint job. your using lundsford? how do you run the inside bottom hole and not rub on the springs? Also, why do you guys scuff up the wing? to make it easier to see?

It's a style thing. All the cool kids are doing it.

Personally, I don't care if I look like a n00b (mind you, I am pretty n00b), so I just cut them out and slap them on there.


The thing about his car that makes me curious is the screws holding the wing on. What kind of mount or modification was required for that?

I just make sure the square on the turnbuckle is not turned with a point towards the spring. And the scuffed wing hides all the scrapes from crashing.

yeah, I have the flat side facing the springs, but they still rub. I tried a 1mm washer on the both to push it out a little, but did little.

Hideeho
your not counting the 14g in the rear triangles :D

I see that has been answered. oops, jumped the gun :)

I am assumeing I would not run weight in the triangles & would therefore be 6g heavier.
