Good! I was so mad when I heard about the big bores because I had just spent 90 dollars upgrading to the V2's. Atleast this way all I will have to buy are the bodies!

I would think you could but by the time that these are out you would be better off just to buy these all me in a kit. you still would need caps, orings, ends and pistons.

What parts do I need to run the front hex hubs on the front of my B4.1. I know the proline hex hub part numbers. I need to know what the part # is for the steering blocks and bearings and anything else I may need thanks

Items to do the hex conversion:
ASC9880 - Team Associated Hex Steering Block Set
ASC9881 - Team Associated Hex Front Axle Set
ASC3977 - 3/16 x 3/8 normal wheel bearings (4 pcs)
ASC6943 - 8/32 wheel nuts (I like the JCI2076 or JCI2075)

12mm hex adapters
PRO6077-00 and PRO6076-00 or JCI2081 and JCI2091 or ASC7497 (plastic)

Hex front wheels
PRO2735-02, PRO2734-04 or ASC9690, ASC9691

Hex rear wheels
PRO2736-02, PRO2736-04 or TLR7100, TLR7101

I didnt list JConcepts wheels as they are not current in stock at Amain and I haven't personally messed with the Kyosho wheels... but they should fit.

I'll let them comment on it.

I run them. They help a lot over the whoops at the track I race at and also allow the buggy to go over bumps wide open I was not able to do before
I was running them for a couple weeks and the car felt great. I read Tim's post about the AE springs being just as fast if not faster so I switched 2 weekends ago. My first impressions are that the AE springs are just as fast (I was actually 5 or 6 tenths faster on my hot lap). The negatives were that they felt a bit more darty, maybe more precise, and a little harder to drive.

I actually just finished putting my Losi springs back on the car. If I'm correct, then I should turn more consistent laps and eventually put in a faster hot lap.

Remember, this is just my opinion. What I am expecting to find, based off of what everyone else has been saying, is that BB springs will make the car easier to drive faster. Nothing scientific. And I'm what you would say the Average Joe driver that spends too much time on the internet and likes to help people out, not a team guy with top notch talent.

So between Cherry and myself, you get both ends of the spectrum for talent haha.

I might give them a try at some point, but, as of right now my stock FT V2 shocks are working great. I'll probably end up waiting for the release of the AE BB before I switch.

Anyone know if the Worlds Kit has a +8mm chassis with the new plastic (unlike the upgrade kit which is just a sliced up version of the old plastic)?

Yes they do. They are rough around the edges too.

Just installed the Losi BB Springs on my B4.1! Did notice though that since I'm running Kyosho Shocks the Shock Collars hit the rear towers so you have to do a bit of work with a Dremmel. Just an FYI for anyone doing the same thing.
