By the way, anyone have a part number for the body on the B4.1? This is the body that came in the kit in August. I had the LHS order a new one but it was not even close to this one. I really like this shell.

Yup. When I use my old kyosho wheels I just use the blue spacer on the outside of the wheel. Works fine.

I tried that for a long time. After each run I had to tighten the left rear wheel nut. Each and every time. Never lost a wheel but it was sure wobbly. Now the season is over I want to get it corrected. LoL.

i have some rear kyo wheels as well. i just put a few extra axle shims between the hex and the bearing to push the hex out a bit so the nut (jc serrated) can grab onto the wheel.

That's where I'm at now. Have several shims between bearing and the cross pin. The hex still fully covers the cross pin and it seems the wheel nut is fully tightened. I'll see how it goes tonight.

should be fine ive done it several times with no ill effects. i think i may be using a total of 5 shims instead of the normal 2.

If that were true, why would the stock spindle come with shims? Changed them quite often on the 22 for various setups. I may look into the AE front hex before I go back to stock but I dont care for the Prolines at all right now.

Well, for one it is true. Two, if you put the stock hex spindles on, you will like them. Look at the newest set up sheets for the team guys...they are now running them...the front spindle height must be in the ball park if those cats are running them.

quick question about shock cap bleeder screws..i have learned to be cautious and was totally aware they strip easily or never really get snug even when new with out stripping,,i watched the base of the head and stoped tightening when it got close to flush to the flat part of the cap that the bleeder screw sits against,but some how they still leak,its a bummer cause u spend all the time to try and get it pretty and without air and after a pack or two i find they are seeping some oil out of the bleeders..i think when i bough my first b4.1ft it came with some stainless screws for the bleeders.i think they may have had a slightly bigger head on them or maybe they were the next size up in diameter..any tips to gettin em to stop leaking without having to go and but the new caps,,these thing are still fresh..thnks in advance

Hey, I've seen that blue and white circle buggy flying around at West Coast! At first I thought it was hawaiian flowers untill I took a good look during staging. Hawaiian flowers, hummm....I might need a new buggy body for the summer!!!
