Couple questions for you guys, I am getting my FTB4.1 today (the post office had lost the box for over a week and a half)
I am going to be running a grear diff in it (got one in my T4.1 as well) what fluids are you guys going with for a med/high traction tight indoor track? Local guys are running 3k in their trucks.
Now onto batteries will a 30c rating pack be enough for stock 17.5? Plan to go with GensAce I have had great luck with them in my 1/8ths as well. I am not even close to the fast guy at my track .... still working on driving skills so keep that in mind.
One more thing do you guys know what size bearings are used in the front wheels for the B4.1 and T4.1? I got a bearing kit from Avid and did not look to see if those are included or not
Either way I would like to order up a few extras to have.

I run the gens ace 40c 5000mah packs in all my cars with great results. I too am by no means the fastest guy either but my car can keep up fine. as you mentioned you are still working on your driving so these batteries will suit you fine until you get to that next level where it may make a difference. for the $ you cant go wrong.

The 65C was about $50 shipped, the 20C was $25 shipped
You can obviously spend more for another name, but these have been tried by many folks with very good results.

Different compound. I believe the B44 rear arms are a softer plastic, allows more flex. I believe it only makes a "noticable" difference on high bite surfaces. I'm using them in combo with the B44 stock rear hubs (0*) and I love the way it drives.

think it has been said that b4 is the most stiff, followed by b44 arms, followed by b4.1 arms.

B4 Carbon rear arms-Most stiff and most likely to break
B44 rear arms-Between plastic and carbon, some flex
B4 standard rear arms-The most flex, can give traction on loose tracks, less likely to break than the rest
