RC10B4.1 FT/WC
Sup bro, my cars are doing great except the dest210r which I still can't figure out a good setup for it so I may be trading it very soon....... When's the next time your heading to WCRC??????
+1 I have tried several stainless screws. they tend to be softer. They are just a look thing. The kit screws seem pretty strong.
Are there any motor guards available that provide more protection for our brushless motors? E.G., one that extends further to the left, when looking at the rear of the buggy, to protect the sensor cable area?
Thanks,
JB

Best you can do is zipp tie the sensor wire to the motor leads.
Definitely do that; it is well protected (to a point). I was just wondering if there was a bigger motor guard. The TLR 22 seems to have a very generous one and I was hoping there was one in a similar design for the B4 family.

Outboard toe done with an aluminum rear hub is somewhat different, as it allows your wheelbase to stay the same while running more toe.
You use stainless for corrosion resistance, not strength.
None make it that far. Zip tie the sensor cable to a motor wire to protect it more. The SC10 motor guard provides marginally more protection on the left, but not enough to protect your sensor wire.
Will be very strong and never come loose ...

I haven't seen many of them around, but the ones I have seen haven't really impressed me too much. What problems are you having with it?

I've seen way too many people break off shock mounting screws that were stainless. For looks, yeah they are neat.... Functionality big fail for shock mounting. I can see them being used for bulkheads, servo mounts, But a big no no on anything to do with shocks since it's the most stressed areas of the car.

You definitely have a sweet ride there sir. Thanx for sharing the mod. Has it been durable. I was going to try that some time ago when I saw it done in the for sale thread on a B44.1. I was worried about cutting out some of the bracing.? the Nuts are a plus on yours.....






'mazing, man. I'll keep lookin.
