What would you have to grind?

It should all bolt right up.

gatt a say u guys are doing lots of good things lately....Thinking about what my avid order is ganna b...idk if I want the steering rack but ik I want springs for my buggy and 4wd...bearings would be really nice also....stock work well but I find they shatter in the rear hubs even with me cleaning em out and lubing them..

also those losi bb springs made my car really unpredictable at times and I made more mistakes...stock springs and k dk yellow fronts is what I am running and I love the feel. What springs do u think I should start with? Med bite-high indoor smooth clay....Traction is good and not to many large jumps corner speed is what I like and on power turn.

I posted my base spring setups a while back. I run red-red but the yellow-yellow has a good balance too but is softer. I would try that on low grip or with the shorty pack. I think the bearings, 12mm springs, and the steering bellcranks are a must-have for serious racers.

We also have hex adapters and we'll have hex wheels within a couple weeks.

WRONG. Check your resources

ROAR max for buggy is 292mm, AE website shows the T4 wheelbase is 288mm and the B4Worlds is listed as 281mm (with a standard B4.1 being 273mm). A buggy on a T4 chassis would make a buggy +15mm over a standard chassis and +7mm over a Worlds spec and still have 4mm in overall wheelbase to spare. It's been done time and again, and IS legal.

All still well within legal based on ROAR regulations to use a T4 chassis on a buggy, as long as you're using trailing axles. Inline axles will make it 1 or 2mm over max, depending on how you set up the rear wheelbase spacers and toe.

It does.
And they already have a body for it, the J82.

The inline spindles do not affect wheelbase whatsoever if used properly.

The Compound is running all year long. We race on Sundays. 2wd Buggy is a very competitive class at The Compound. Swing up some time you won't be disapointed.
