Default T4 Arms

Alright here's the best way I can help with the arm situation.

Attached is a picture of the current selection of arms.

The top one is a carbon arm. The stiffest arm, it is signified by one swaybar mount ball (B4 swaybar, not B44), and a very light color.

The middle one is a B44/B44.1 arm (the materiel did not change between vehicles). This arm has more flex than a carbon arm but less than a B4.1 plastic arm. Notable differences are, glossy color as well as a cut out on the webbing of the rear hub along. If you look very very closely you can see rectangular indentations on the top of the arm from the mold.

The bottom one is a B4.1 plastic arm, the softest arm made. A dark dull color as well as no cut on the webbing and two swaybar mounts are the best way to recognize this arm. Again if you look very closely you can see circular (as opposed to rectangular) indentations from the mold.

The original B4 plastic arm (older materiel) isn't produced any more but can still be found at some hobby shops. It has one swaybar mount and looks exactly like the carbon arm, just a darker color.
Hoping Chris can clear up all the T4 arms out there, similar to what he did for the B4. I have a few arms from the past 5 years or so, and it appears they have different webbing on them.

In order to be certain we have the latest T4.1 plastic and carbon mold, was hoping he can clear it up for us. Thx!

Matt! It's time to switch over to making the T4 extended chassis!

Your market for 8mm B4.1s just dried up!

I want a T4.1 +4 I think. Maybe a +2. Gotta figure out how long the 22T is and go from there.

I run the RCRD aluminum +8mm right now and love it. Not only is it 8mm longer but it lowers the center of gravity because it is 3.5 oz heavier than stock.

They sell a 4mm and a 12mm as well. The 12mm matches the length of the TLR22.

That said, I'm wondering how much added weight the new AE +8mm will weigh? Anyone see anything out there about its weight?

The 22t is the same wheelbase as the t4.

If anything, the bearings were moved further OUT on the T4 than the T/T2/T3 so that would not be the problem, and you'd see this problem with T4 wheels on T/T2/T3 trucks, not the problem we're seeing. ThunderbirdJunkie is still banking on an assembly problem.
