Are you suffering on power push? I would suggest the following:
- go to 2 limiters in front shocks
- add some weight to the front (~10g in front of servo will help) and move the battery forward

As always, most important thing is to make sure you have the correct tyres for the track before trying to change too much on the setup.

Mostly on power push. I will try those changes. I have the right tires for sure and its relatively close to the reedy race track but a little different which made me do those changes.

I got a few questions about my B4

I am gonna get a diff rebuid kit for my FT B4.

I bought this buggy used a while ago and it turns out the previous ownder used black grease on everything.

In the manual it says to use diff lube on everything and to use black grease to assemble the thrust washer bearing.

Is that the correct way or is there a better way to assemble a differential?

NO ! Slicks need closed cells in them. Panthers are TOO tall for 1/10 scale closed cells to fit properly, because of the gap between the top of the foam and the inside of the carcass. Air pockets are no bueno.

This. The longer the wheelbase the less steering a car will have. As for on power push, I can only suggest more forward bite.

Thats what we used to run at our track when the track was kept more wet for super high traction and they worked great!
