I don't know enough about servos to recognize which of the servos listed on page 24 of the manual is most like the Savox.

Which #7336 spacer and which #9180 servo arm would be a good fit?

I'm using the same servo ... from memory it was no spacer and a futaba F servo arm... havent had an issue with it

Any recommendation for good motor (7.5) and esc for this car? (not too expansive)

Thanks

Guys

I believe I decided to go on 8.5T sensored motor - trackStar 4620kv.
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...or_4620KV.html

But I still don't know which esc will be compatible?
(combos are to expansive)
Are all 1:10 motor size are the same and will fit the b4.1 RTR and replace the original motor xp reedy 3300kv?
Can you please advice on both questions.

Thanks
Eran

bleeder cap screws

I did a search and found the post from WC about the Losi kit. Is this a fix for the BB shocks only?

Will this solve the problem or do I need new caps? What Associated non-bleeder caps work - are the threads the same from other AE kits? Does the aluminum set #1598 fit?

Thanks.

Hi,

Any of the small bore off-road shock caps will fit.

(IE non bleeder plastic caps.)

What you can do is re-make the threads in the cap for the bleeder screw with super-glue.

You need the bleed screw to nip up tight to stop air getting in.

MiCk B. :-)

Yes, I just did this last night.
Put the screw on your screwdriver, drop some superglue on the screw and screw it in the cap let it sit and you should be able to tighten it again.

All 540 can motors have the same dimensions and bolt holes and will replace your stock 3300kv....and if you dont want to spend 67anything on a bh esc then dont replace your stock speedo...if your cheap motor doesnt have a sensor wire just run your stock esc...if it does have a sensor wire get the brushless hobbies esc...you cannot find a more reliable esc for under 70 bucks....

Kave, everyone here has given you several options. I see you decided on the trackstar 8.5 motor, fine. Since you dont mind the Hobbyking products, why not get their esc. I will link this for you again. If $35 is too much, then I am sorry.

Also
I am not sure if a 60amp esc will work in a b4 with an 8.5. My guess is probably, but is more than likely an "it depends"

or maybe this one
