Front end?

Mine is just finished. big improvement over the old one.

Since it's much heavier then the old one does anyone still use ballast?

my old T4FT had a 100 grams in it.

Why do you think its heavier. did you weigh it.

I have some quick change kits built if any one is looking for them for their T4.1
Here is my thread on here.

I weighed it yes, but kinda forgot how heavy the other one was rtr...

So i think its about the same weight as my old one wich had the 100gram ballast...

may have to get acurate with theweights.

Quick question. Is it normal to have a play on the front wheels when tighten?I have a little bit on my b4.1.

the wheels or the hubs?

I have a little play as well. I believe it's the hubs on mine. The wheel and bearings are tight on the axle. I feel like the whole steering assembly has a little slop in it right?

The wheel, play between the screw and the bearing

Take off front shocks and unscrew shock ends 1-2 FULL turns to allow more weight transfer to the rear end.

how can that be? CVD less efficient and binding the suspension under load?

thanks

PS iirc Easton won the worlds with dogbones... same reasoning?

I'm not sure the physics behind it but I definitely noticed a difference in the way the car turned and handles with CVA's vs the CVD's that I had before. It was a little more than subtle. I did have one of the retainer clips move over and a pin come out in a practice run though. I replaced the pin and added more glue. It stayed together for 3 quals and a hard driven main.

Hey Guys.

I just ordered a b4.1 factory team, it'll be my first off road buggy after a while of racing on road tourers.
The only thing I'm a little disappointed with is the absence of the carbon chassis..
I was wondering if the b4 full carbon part set, part no 9655 is the same and a straight swap for the B4.1 factory team plastic chassis??
Also am I being a bit fussy and is the plastic just as good or better then the carbon??

Generally, people stay away from the carbon chassis now. It's goog for a high bite track. The carbon parts will still work except tje rear shock tower unless you modify it. I have seen Ryan Cavalieri use the carbon a-arms as a tuning aid during high traction tracks. This was to take away some of the traction.
