I use the stock U brace so I can't say what that mod will do.

I just changed over to the B44 plastic hubs (#9730) and saw a big change in how my car handled in and out of the corners. I run at a track similar to the one you described in your other post. I also run a 17.5 with Barcodes.

My buggy was pretty hooked up the other day after making that change. I plan on swapping to 30 degree caster blocks next to see how that changes the steering.

I use the Brent Thielke Club Racing Indoor Clay set-up sheet with very few changes.

So I sent my car home with one of my friends for he can tune it up for it's good for this "big" race I'm going to..

He replaced the following parts:
Arms, Top Plate, T Plate, Chassis, Diff, added Ballast weight, rebuilt shocks

I will report back on how my car feels now.

What are the ideal battery packs for the B4.1WC? I'm not hip on all the 2s, 3s lingo etc. also is it ideal to have short and long packs for tuning?

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

Thanks wildcat
Sorry for all my bullshit. Your recommendation was perfect but after reading some on the esc and contact HK support seems that there is an issues with programming card for it at the moment. So I guess I'll go on a combo

The only thing that bothers me that the esc is 60a and not 120.

With the shorty what config have you found to have the best effect on the handling? small foam front then battery then large foam in rear, etc ?

Hideeho
Most folks seem to set the back of the lip even with the front of the u-brace. I set mine aprox 7mm forward from that. Then again I also run a t4.1 chassis that is about 7mm longer

Has anyone tried the Losi BK Bar rear tires or the Losi Taper Pin front tires?

Any feedback, looking into getting some but just seeing if anyone has tried them and their thoughts on them.

Thanks
