I recently finished building up my kit and I'm concerned about how much noise the car make when you turn the rear wheels by hand. Without the pinion and spur meshed it is really smooth and quiet. But when the motor is mounted and the mesh seems properly set it always makes a bunch of noise and feels kind of notchy? I did try another pinion and it did not help. Could my motor plate be bent or something not straight causing the top shaft and motor not to be perfect parallel to each and throwing off the gear mesh?
I haven't ran the kit other than running it up and down the driveway a time or 2 by the way.. Is this simply just something that will go away as the gears/ball diff wears in?

the b4 has cvd's while the b4.1 has cva's like on the b44. so the "bowl" part is on the axle instead of the bone

I've done this plenty of times and it still takes me three times to get it right sometimes.

It's the gear mesh pfunk, it took me a couple times too. Look up the paper trick... it works for me. Slip a sheet of paper in between spur and pinion gear then make sure it makes a little indent on the paper. Be aware though as you tighten the motor screws down it can shift the position of the motor hence making it too tight and then you hear the noise. Go slow and even as possible when tightening down the motor set screws.

What is the difference between the B4 and B4.1? I can't find any real info anywhere.

no idea. maybe so it's not designed the same way as the mip cvd, which came out in the early 90's? i do think that the retaining clip on the cva works better though.

The length, I don't know... I'm assuming they would have to be the same? If not ridiculously close.

My plan is to change parts as they wear out. I'll need to replace them at some point anyway, so I'll just buy the new versions when I do. I actually can't wait to put the new shocks on it though. I might have to push the car down a few hundred times on the pit table before each race to wear out the shock bodies a little faster.

You'll probably find the CVAs create a smoother driving car. CVDs make the car drive more square through corners. They are very similar, the difference is subtle.
