A little disappointing that AE's quality control wouldn't catch something like this. I wonder if a possible RMA return would be in order for the wheels.
If this was an RTR kit then I'm sure AE will hook you up if it was the Factory Team and you glued the tires your on your own

do soppy arms and hubs make a less performing car? Going to replace

bulkhead,arms,spindles,front castor blocks,hingepins,t plate, shock caps, cvds,
bearings.

car is sloppy but..30 dollars to replace general stuff wont hurt, everything should be tight anyway.

ehhh i dunno. I remember I used to like the way my car felt when it was worn in a little. Was more forgiving. I think a lil slop helps the lesser driver. guys who are good drivers may prefer little or no slop. I really think it's preference but what do I know, I'm one of those slower guys

Well checked my local Classfields just barely I missed out on a B4.1 Roller w/ servo and brushed motor for only $20.. I can still get it but I would have to spend another $20 in gas to go get it.. Anyone have a roller they want to sell me?

I tried orange front yellow rear and it was horrible at Bula. Pink silver and Kyosho white gold was way better. I'm running the white gold combo. The rear spring is coiled tighter and feels more consistent.

That is a steal! 40 bucks for a roller is usually unheard of.

yeah i didnt like soft spring in the front on the b4 w/ +8mm. i like 3.2 w/ kyosho (same as losi silver)

i havent bought bb springs yet, waiting for losi green (22t) front springs to do the swap on the truck and buggy.

Ya I know I should've went and bought it but I didn't feel like driving all the way out there..

Does anyone have a spare parts box for the b4.1 they would be willing to sell me?

I'm looking for 8mm Chassis 2.. I wont mind used but I want it in decent condition... Also will the 8mm chassis bolt right up to the rest of the stock car?

I don't have one but it will fit right along with the rest of the car. However, some bodies don't fit the 8mm chassis.
