Does anybody know the part numbers to run big bore springs on a B4.1?

Same part numbers as the ones you have on your car already.

HA! news to me, this whole time i've been running in-line axles with the spacer in the back...will I see handling changes now when I move the spacer to the front? And what is the issue of keeping it in back with the in-line axles?

You move the caster block back with the inline axles to maintain the correct wheelbase. you were basically running a longer wheelbase if you had the block in the front with the inlines.

Should, the inlines tend to make the steering more aggressive.

Got one forward and one back I'm using the SC10 steering block and longer axles for the hex adapters. Trail doesn't seem to change from stock with the SC10 block.

Forward carrier lowers the angle of the top link and raises it (relative to a level arm chassis roll center), also lowers ride height with level arms and increases wheelbase, not to mention bump steer and small link length changes. Back, well, the opposite I haven't found a discussion aimed directly at that and I can't find pictures, setup sheets, or instructions that talk about it explicitly. It's an easy swap but just wondering...

EDIT:...nevermind. I'm an idiot. Forward carrier with trailing axles, back with inlines. Sound right?

REMEMBER I FORGOT MORE THAN U KNOW!
And to think, this is how a SPONSORED driver speaks to hobbyists like myself in an open forum. And with that type of punctuation and spelling...

To think I actually had your back on here a few months ago when you first started posting. Ok, if that's how you want it.

You're not over any point besides really not being able to put the laps down. Hence your lack of attendance at the tracks. At least the tracks where there is real competition.

I will never doubt your willingness to help others and your love of the hobby, but let's be honest, there's the old saying "Those that can not do, teach".

As far as me being a hard head and a knuckle head as you put it, I never denied the fact gluing the servo saver will work. It's just something I'm not sure my driving skills are up to, after all, I can put the front end into the pipes with the best of them.

I learned some things at Motorama from AE sponsored drivers who actually PUT THEIR CARS ON THE TRACK. And, guess what? I actually saw a difference in the cars handling. None of what I learned had anything to do with what you told me.

For the record, I highly doubt you forgot more than I know.

I'm not sorry for putting you on blast just now.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled B4.1 programming.

Who on here is running in line axles and the +8mm chassis?
How is your entry into the corner steering?
