Almost 2 faster if you calibrate the radio properly.

Turns refers to the assembly. Performance is more of a kv thing.

Hi Guys - I just bought a b4.1 limo chassis and I was wondering what a good setup would be. I run clay indoor that can at times be a little loose (San Diego Rc raceway)

I apologize for the lazy post - dont have time to hunt through the thread to see if this has already been posted

I run the Reedy Sonic 8.5 and it so beyond smooth, no problems with rocks or dust.

Default Associated Wheel nuts

Team Associated is either a smart company, doesn't care about common parts or hasn't a clue.
I wanted to buy a couple of spare front/ rear wheel nuts just in case I was changing a wheel and I dropped a nut in the grass and lost it. Without the nut or a spare, it would be impossible to run the B4.1.
I have gone to Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware looking for part number 6629 which is the front fiber locking nuts. Not carried in any of these stores. Called a business that deals only in hardware, no luck there. Found the rear size though.
Finally ordered the front wheel nuts from an online parts store and they are now on the way.
I realize the car parts that are unique to these vehicles must be ordered from the manufacturer or parts seller, but why would a company make a car where such common retainers are made in odd-ball hard to get sizes?

They're just 5-40 locknuts.. any hobbyshop or company that sells hardware should have them. Hell, you can get 100 of them from McMaster-Carr for $2.43.

When the new hex drive front axles are available, it will be 8/32 nut for the front.
