kyosho yellow is between ae green and silver
ae silver = kyo blue / cobalt
if you dye them long, they actually turn pretty much black, just with a slight warm or cold tint depending on starting color.

They will be completely stripped of all their paint, then polished chrome. K springs are the toughest to strip, as they are powder coated. But I would REALLY like to know if the "Ryan's" run any other rears besides the dark yellows????

I finished my B4.1 Limo last night, and tried both, the Proline Vortex, and the JC Punisher, the Vortex fits better, the Punisher needs a bit more trimming in the front in order for it to sit nice and low, but not bad. The Punisher actually looks pretty sick on the longer chassis....
So I modified my B4.1 into a Limo Edition B4.1
and i gotta say, it does improve how well the car handles jumps and bumps, and yet it still turns on a dime.
I did notice that I can get away with running a heavier spring in the back, did the AE drivers use silver springs in the back of their B4s??

Todays project, took me 2 1/2 hrs including Taco's from the bus ...
What you need to do ...
1 new T-4 Chassis
1 old broken B-4 chassis or T-4 , Sc10
Dremel with a cut off wheel
a set of caliper's
1 piece of 150G sandpaper
Tire glue
1/4 masking tape
1 pro-line bull dog body (it fits)
Directions
#1 find the two find straight lines going across under the middle of chassis ....
lay a strip of 1/4 masking lap on the outside of the most forward line in the middle of chassis ...
measure from the tape towards the rear of the chassis 11.1m & mark
lay a 2nd piece of 1/4 masking tape on the line you just mark...
cut chassis in half in the middle of the two lines of tape with cut-off wheel.
use the cut-off wheel and sandpaper to grind the extra plastic right to the edge of the tape.
cut the straight sides off of old broken chassis to make L braces & glue all together as seen in pictures below
Very strong & stiff , you will not be able to break it by hand even if you try too.....
Chassis will be 8m longer than the standard B-4 chassis as reported being use by the team at Worlds....
Excuse the hack job craftsmanship...

Is there anyway you could add more detail to the original instructions and maybe a couple more pics? Any help would be appreciated.

K Springs
I have been running orange fronts and Blue Rears with great luck. Car seems to work on every track I have been to with these springs.

Well I ran the B4.1LE today complete with the Kyosho springs. Scoring was not hooked up but I can tell that the car is faster. I was able to drive the car much more aggresively. I let some of the other guys try it and they were scambling for old T4 chassis's to cut up.
The car was way more stable in and out of the corners and handled the bumps and jumps with ease.
I like alot of steering on all my cars and this car does everything I wanted it to. Turns in well and has excellent forward grip. I can tell you that the car didn't like to be under driven. The harder I drove the more stable the car seemed.
Thanks to Matt and Cherry for the tips. I kind of have a combo of both of your ideas.
