If you want to raise the roll center, you need to drop the inside camber link mounting location (ie. remove washers). I know, it's counter-intuitive but that's the way it works. Raising and lowering roll centers on the B4 is easy so I would say just give it a shot. You won't even need to adjust the camber length. Just pop the rod end off, move the stud up or down, and pop the rod end back on. For your own sanity, try moving in both directions and see how it feels when you are driving it. That's the best way to test these things anyways. Report back when you find out. It would be awesome to have some of these links verified. I need to do something similar with mine. I actually have a problem getting the back end to hook up coming out of hairpins. I think I rotate a little too easily.

Upper holes or raise ball stud (lower roll center) • Increases steering into corner
• Car is more responsive
Lower holes or lower ball stud (higher roll center)
• Decreases steering into corner
• Car is less responsive
• Use in high-grip conditions
also if you go to xrays web site and look at the tuning guide it will help you under stand what things do.

That may be a bit too much motor. The B4.1 weighs next to nothing. I run a 17.5 (2200kv)in my B4.1 and it flies. I can keep up with almost all at the track. I tried a 13.5 (3300kv)and this thing was a bullet. Now this is just my opinion on my experience with it.

at my local track, it is typically med-high bite, if i take certain turns with speed i go into a roll. I have washers under my ball studs, so a low roll center. when the track is wet my car is like on rails, other than if i roll certain times...would removing the washers probably fix that then if the track is wet?
One of you experts correct me if I'm off here.

how are the savox servos? I am running a 4800s which is 90z of torque .11 sec
It is old and starting to see it's last days. What servos are you guys running?
I looked at the a.e one and it was nothing special just nice, savox had nice specs and orion had really good looking specs.

I run a 1258TG in my Buggy and SC10 and a 1256TG in my 4x4
1258TG
Speed(@6.0V sec/60): .08
Torque(@6.0V oz-in): 166.6
1256TG
Speed(@6.0V sec/60): .15
Torque(@6.0V oz-in): 277.7
I may try a little faster one and go with a smaller servo or same speed but smaller servo.

I use a Savox 1258TG in my B4.1, good servo, a tad bit noisy and you need to use a ton of subtrim to get it centered.
However, the best servo i have used or currently use is the XP DS1015, hands down.
Im sure there is better, but the DS1015 is dam good.

To answer this question...yes, removing washers could help. Shortening the camber links also causes the chassis to roll less and gets rid of traction rolling really quick. You could also lower the ride height a little or add limiters to the rear shocks. Keep in mind, all these changes also have other handling consequences. Some you might like, some you might not. I'll be at the track tomorrow if you want to try some stuff.

What is a good pinion size to use with a 10.5 turn and a stock 81t spur gear? I will be running a small/med size indoor track.
