Check & see if your slipper is way tight ....
Ft end should rise no more than a 1 in while holding it down for slipper test.

Slipper is good, it dont really raise up the front much because at times the track is really loose. I test it out on the table and the carpet, then fine tune it at the track, I can hear it slipping when on the throttle.

run the cav 2010 hrh shoot out setup it is really good, try running 3.0 degrees of rear toe and maybe dk yellow k springs or yellow k springs so the rear can get loose but not in a bad way

Instead of the 3 shock limiters up front, use 4 limiters, this will give you good on power turning.

It reduces front droop.

I tried the WD40 and Endust last night cleaning mine while putting the +8 chassis on. WD40 is far better and I like the smell. I was using green apple scented Endust which did not give the performance I need, so will try lemon scented next time.

Thanks.
So the B4.1 FT ball diff would not work?

Oh I would not order from associated direct...I always go with amain.

Can someone help me with my question about going from the standard blue b4.1 shocks to the FT shocks...do I need to buy the whole shock kit or can I get away with just some of the parts?

Thanks.

You would need to buy the bodies and seal kit, you might be better off getting the kits because they also come with the titanium nitride coated shock shafts. Fronts are .89 and the rears are 1.18.

The ball diff you would need is part number ASC9853. The b4.1 ball diff is not available in a kit to my knowledge, the b4 is but it has different sized outdrives (std bearing size, b4.1 and sc10 use metric bearings).
