Just now seen that he had only a few posts. Maybe should have worded it a bit differently. Just gets old when people can't follow simple forum guidelines and clutter up a thread that is here to discuss a certain rc car.
On another note, got a chance to run both the rcrd aluminum chassis on the b4 and t4. Was really pleased with the chassis and the way they handled on the track. Was running a cut +8 chassis and tried the +12 rcrd chassis since the track I race on is pretty blown out and pretty wide open and flowing. B4 was more predictable all around and could be driven much harder without getting out of shape. If you want another option
besides modding a t4 chassis I would definitely give these a try. As for setup, I was running a very similar setup wild cherry posted besides the springs. Ended up with orange front k springs and dark yellow rear springs.

I am at 285mm with the +12 chassis. Almost identical to a 22. So it is well within the limits. The T4 with the +4 chassis is right at the legal limit of 292mm. Here is a pic of both the B4 and T4. Nevermind the wiring clutter on the T4, didnt have a chance to route those neatly yet

Performance upgrade
Thanks to you all for your advice on my request for a performance upgrade I asked about for my RTR B4.1 on page 399 of this forum.
I hate to admit it, but I am very new to RC cars having run only the past 2 months and only have about 2-3hrs of run time on a Slash 4x4 and the B4.1 RTR.
I am pretty familiar with the common named parts of this car but when advisers use more technical slang, I get lost. If someone would like to respond again I would greatly appreciate it. Please tell me the parts or kit name I can use and also any chassis or suspension adjustments I can make in more simple terms, I again would appreciate it.
I am not interested in upgrading to the longer chassis now (maybe later) and my primary interest is improving handling or suspension parts/ modifications.
Increase in speed such as faster motor is not what I am interested now because at my primary track I run at, the top speed of this car is enough for the one straight they have.
Just some advice needed to a 57 yr old coot wanting to be a kid again.
Thanks all......Rick

I remember somewhere in this thread it was mentioned how to tell between the b4.1 plastic b4 plastic and b44 rear arms? Can someone tell me that again I am trying to figure out which ones I have on.
Thanks!
Thanks!

In addition to the parts, check out this link. Awesome stuff here: http://users.telenet.be/elvo/
Also, there's a thread called Tuning With Camber Links that has some great tuning info in it too.

Order from softest to firmest.
B4.1
B44.1
carbon rear arms
Most run the B44.1 rear arms on the B4.1 because the B4.1 arms tend to be too soft and noodly. This is the conclusion after reading many discussions on this matter. Chris from AE has listed the same order as above. Others will tend to argue this matter.

hmm odd I must have switched mine and just don't remember. I have a sway bar ball in the front and rear of the arm.
