Got my hands on one with a +8 chassis to try out and make sure im not missing anything spectacular. I ran a B4 back in the day, it's really just curiosity to see how much better it is. And I need to keep my eye on you!! :

I tried it on my B4 and it made a huge difference, I would also recommend shaving down the U-brace where the ball studs screw in to, all the way down till is even with the rest of the u-brace.

It rotates better entering a corner, and you can exit faster.

I actually assumed that the website I'd been going by was the incorrect one when I saw your post. Sorry if it sounded otherwise!

I corrected my post so that other people won't find it and get confused about spring rates

So the 2wd and 4wd buggy front wheels are the same size (hex is a different size) is there any reason not to run 4wd buggy front tires on a 2wd buggy?

I believe with the extra size you will lose some turn in, might feel lazy.

got the plus 8mm dialed at my local indoor track, running paul wynn's set up with inline front hubs without moving the spacer to the front, with brown ae front springs 5 shims, unscrew rod end 1/2 turn 32.5(lower inside hole), rear kyosho black spring 27.5,

car was almost un drivable without inline hubs!

No I don't think I'll be out until the AKA series starts. Been racing up here the track is really good and pretty much have it all to ourselves most the day. I am designing a new layout so should be busy all weekend. And flying Saturday morning! I saw you posted your running Nolan's setup but the info you posted is about a quarter of it do you have the whole thing on paper? Try to post it! His chassis looks super dialed!! I'm not even sure I'll be running the B4 for a few weeks at least just to busy!

ThunderbirdJunkie just got a Promatch 4000 shorty, he hasn't driven the car with it yet though.

Hell, he hasn't even driven it under brushless power yet

ThunderbirdJunkie better get his self ready for some wheel standing, crazy launching action! My first brushless experience I flipped my B4 onto its lid at the starting gun. Slightly embarassing.....
