It actually makes quite a bit of a difference. The holes help make the whole slipper like a fan and helps keep the slipper cooler if that's a good example. You should never really have slipper heating problems unless you are in high heat. It especially helps in 4 wheel.
So you should get rid of all the Losi-inspired improvements that came on the B4.1FT and the OG B4.
Like the dual disk slipper, the big fat V2 slipper spring, the rear t-plate that mimics the BK2's rear pivot block, the Losi XXX-offset wheels in the rear...
Bear in mind that Gil Jr had a hand in the RC10, so what you should really do is just bust out that Tamiya Rough Rider and race IT in 2w mod and see how you do.
If we got rid of everything in RC racing that the Losis have spearheaded, then we would still be racing Tamiya bathtub plastic chassis cars.
Because a bumper that sticks out past the wheels digs in on the faces of jumps and prevents a smooth landing if you're a little ass-high.
ThunderbirdJunkie has the Traxxas upper spring seats with the TLR 22 spring cups. The spring cups are shorter and help with ride height adjustments so you don't have the adjustment collars all the way up on the front.

All this spring collar talk...

I haven't tried BB springs yet, still using Brent's old +8 setup, front KYO silvers and rear AE greens.

I'm relatively new to RC. Started racing last fall. I just bought a B4.1 RTR used (4 races) from a young man that could not make it go straight. So far, I can't either
. I reset everything to "out of the box" specs. Rear tires are calbers. I'm racing on an indoor dirt track - very hard,clay surface with dust and silt. Its like racing on ice. I have the throttle turned all the way down and the esc to "very soft". I can not get the rear tires to hook up at all. Where to start? Everything is "out of the box". Any help would be greatly appreciated!
