I run 57 35 front and 55 35 rear. This is with no added weight to the truck!! When I ran weight I used 56 30 in the rear. I love both my cars with no weight. PM me if you wanna take a look at the full setup for b4/t4

last time i was out i was using 32.5 #1 in front (in/out) and 27.5 #2 rear (in/in) the buggy drove soo nice with 3-deg of rear toe. had alittle more steering then i really could use with the silver/pink so going to just increase the rear wing angle from 3 to 6 and keep it all the same.

i just wish i was as good as my cars

green/pink reacts well on the truck, just feels like it needs stiffer up front... trying #3/32.5

yes your right, but i have not gotten my pinks i gave to someone who denys i gave them to him. :roll eyes: they felt great!!!

A properly built/setup and DRIVEN old school 2003 B4 is just as competitive.

We all just want new stuff to buy and play with!!!

yea the plastic sucks. Sorry, it just does. lol carbon is the way plastic should be as far as wear.

Going to give silver/ red a shot while I wait on pinks. Think that may be too stiff on the rear?

Chad Due is a local to me and never said the +8 chassis is carbon.

As far as I know the +8 from AE is the same plastic as the rest of the .1 kits

I do not believe the +8 is carbon , But it is made of a different plastic than the regular b4.1 plastic. The old b4 plastic is stiffer than the .1 plastic.

I think it is some form of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic). Either Fiberglass or Carbon infused plastic basically. Could be wrong though

It's a carbon composite. Meaning that plastic and carbon mixture liquid injected into the mold. I've had all three b4, 4.1 and now wc. The material seems to be exactly like the ft b4. The +8mm calms the vehicle down.
