For anyone new to building, in step 5 on the transmission it tells you to put ball stud washers under the bolts that hold the motor plate on.. With these washers on, there is not much tread captured in the motor mount (now there will be guys saying "ive not had a problem with it") more threads=stronger join. Take the washers off, you dont need them, the bolt will never pull through the gearbox.. This step also tells you to put tread lock on the bolts..:eek: Not sure why, they go straight through plastic.. You only need to put tread lock on the end of the bolt later in step 6 when fitting the motor mount..

Its a shame this thing is going together so quickly..

just watch out...the screw can touch the back plate for the slipper...instead of ball stud washers just use thinner washers....the washers are not only there to stop the screw from pulling threw, it also spaces the screw a little and keeps everything clear....have fun with the build, my son and both love are B4.1s

I would also like to know that. I hear the T4 chassis is 19mm's longer than a stock B4.1.

I'm noticing more and more guys running 7.5t or even 6.5t motor in the mod class. Whatever happened to 8.5t?

Not sure i like the body :lol: I jumped the gearing up to 20/87 and its much better than the 15/87 it came to me with. Has some actual get up and go, and decent top end now. It could probably still handle more gearing, but its pretty good as is now :cool:

Use Brake Fluid to remove that paint then wash the Body ,mask mask the windows .. And Spray It !

Wow, my first REAL problem ive had with any AE kit..

Sorry they fit.. Another manual mistake..No one else picking these up?

67.4mm between ball stud centers gives me about 0 degrees..Big difference to 89mm.. Ill check with Hudy when its done..

FTW Night Fox XL is made for a B4 with a T4 chassis. I am using the regular body and like it very well.

My biggest issue is when im going through two turns in particular, they are enterting and exiting the straight so I take them with quite a bit of speed, is that the back end gets really hoppy in the turn under speed, if it does proceed to break loose, the car will then hook then go into a tumble. What can I do to the suspension to help with this? I am running a setup very similar to the Paul Wynn, except browns upfront instead of kyoshos, 2* camber instead of 1*. Greens in the rear, 30wt upfront 25 in the rear.

anyone?

I have been looking at the night fox, Im assuming the XL will be too big for the 8mm chassis?

Guys, my car pushes (Understeers) thru most slow/med turns. While I noticed most b 4.1 can pivot quickly thru them, how can I get more steering? Running std. 2.0d anti squat should I change it to 3.0d? general suspension tips?

salvaticustomjs 12-02-2011 11:09 AM

I'm sure this has been mentioned. What parts do I need to run kyosho springs on the b4?

you get the point.

To be honest I have no idea if it will fit the +8 but I would think so with some trimming as I have seen the Finnisher on a regular B4 chassis. I would try e-mailing FTW to see what they say. Contact is [email protected]. They have answered my e-mails in the past.

jirish ,


sounds like your traction rolling..

check ride height , start at 24m , go lower to help stop the roll concurring.

also

check your slipper , if it is locked up that can make the car roll over going into the sweepers....



guilty

adding squat will make the car rotate faster

also try

less toe (2.5 block 0 hub)
more weight on the transmission , 21 grams max ...
larger spur (81T)


salvati


Just put um on, K-spring no extra parts needed....
