Debating if I should do the chassis mod. I have a t4 chassis I'd like to try out but seems like a pain in the ass to swap everything over lol

Purple is what I'm after (daughters car).
Easy-Off oven cleaner or castrol super clean, if they still make it. I'm sure others will chime in with other methods/chemicals.

**Looking for a 17.5 motor please, if you have one please pm me, hopefully reedy sonic**

The reason I am switching is due to the fact that i drove a stock b4 and it was fun to drive even when the track got loose, had a blast.

Any advantages from running pin vs hex rear wheels?

Yes, track width adjustment! With the hex setup, of course.

I was looking through pictures and it looks like a lot of the team drivers still use pin style wheels though.

Also is the inline front axle really necessary? Like I will really notice a change after putting them on?

I changed to the front inline axles and it felt way better in the turns. smoother.

Is it necessary? Not really. but it only cost about 9 bucks to upgrade to.

I like HEX in the rear. More bite I feel in the rim that a little pin.

As Brent said it is only a $9 upgrade and is a good tuning option. I did try the inline axles with the "standard" length chassis and it made the steering very sensitive and switched back to trailing axles. Give it a shot and let us know what you think

Default overheating

hey guys whats up. I have a castle 5700 motor in my t4 with 3300mah 30c 2s lipo in it. and the motor tends to get pretty hot to the touch (not untouchable hot) after 8 minutes or so of bashing on a short grass field near my house. i have it geared 84/16 and am waiting for new 87t spurs in the mail. still heats up a bit even with that gearing. any advice on gearing or should i avoid grass for long periods of time??

I would get the jconcepts ones, while you're at it upgrade the rollpins to the solid FT axle pins.
