getting the brushless t4.1 rtr ,what should i upgrade to get it close to the kit ,was thinking v2 slipper, v2 shocks and titanium tie rods with rpm ball caps , keeping motor and esc ,anything else or is this enough , dont want to go to crazy going to race it in between other classes at our track thanks
I suggest doing one of the following:
1. Run RTR stock for a few months to see if you stick with the hobby, then go with a whole new kit if you get really serious. By then you may decide you want to try a different kit/brand anyways. You can then sell your RTR, upgrade it, scrap it for parts, or hand it down to a friend or family member.
2. Start with the FT kit, grab a brushless ESC/motor combo at a small discount (Tekin RS + 13.5T or 17.5T is a great low cost, high-quality option), a good $50'ish servo (there are many great choices - Savox is my current fav for price vs performance), and a good 2.4GHz radio - and hope you really love the hobby. This option is better if you're not short on disposable income. This is also a good opportunity to pick up used components at a big cost savings.

Pretest your spacers to make sure that they are fitting properly and you can also sand down the center spacer just a bit to give yourself a little extra room so everything will snap into place.
Some green slime is always a good idea, it will help keep those o-rings in one piece as everything is going together.

Everything was snapping together but it would come appart during a race.
I found a website explaining how the rebuild kits are not designed for the nw shocks because the molds are old
. It said the parts are to big and thick.

B4.1 , T4.1 Review
Anyone know where I can find some good reviews on the Factory Team T4.1 or B4.1 kits? all that I can find seem to be on the RTR versions. Tried RC.C.A. and others but nothing!

Xtreme RC has a review on the B4.1 in the November 2010 issue.
