Have the perfect tire, think I'm getting to much traction Its almost as if I have to come to a dead stop to get this thing to turn!

Replace them every rebuild or every other and you should be good. Make sure you buy both new bolt and washer.

I have 2 rebuilds on mine and I haven't broken one yet. I did just replace the bolt and washer since the washer had groves in both sides.

Kyle Wilson thinks that Thunderbirdjunkie should find us a quality diff screw source!

There we go...
I am in the process of clearing an area to build a track. Here is my current plan.

RC Track #3 by rvnwlfdroid, on Flickr[/IMG]
A Little about the track. The total area will be roughly 30x80. The lanes will be 6-7ft wide.
The corner on the far right side will be sloped/banked.
I'm looking for feedback on the track layout. It's been years since I've been able to run on an actual track.
Basically is this a track that a B4.1 buggy would be fun on?
All comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Kurt

Loose is fast if you can correct fast enough.
in 1/10th buggy i don;t like too much traction in the rear. |Just enough to be able to steer with the throttle if I need to but using your finger be able to accellerate out of the corner with little of the front wheels on the ground

The screw is breaking right at the bottom of the head. ThunderbirdJunkie's been going through a diff screw every race weekend or two...four have broken so far. It looks like there's a bubble underneath the head that developed during casting, presuming that's how these screws are made. He's been running AE cars for a long time and never had this happen, so it's probably just a bad run of them...but it sucks. Gonna try running the diff a bit looser, but ThunderbirdJunkie honestly doesn't believe this will help.

When you cut the DD's for the front of the 44 to make them work on B4 how much do you cut out if the middle? From my measurement it looks like 4mm. Is this correct?

Ok well like one person said try loosening the diff a tad it might help, and take one washer out on the front tower ballstud.
If none of that helps, I would try different tires.
Maybe the Worlds setup doesnt work for you go onto AE's website and try a setup that describes your track.

Has anyone tried the red losi 56 pistons in their b4? I bought a pair and had to bore them out. Just wondering how they preform...
Also, I see two parts numbers. Is it LOSA5046 or LOSA5341?

LOSA5046 is the one you should be using. So far I like them better than the #2 pistons

have seen this occur before
Can be a few things ..
first
Maybe installed the thrust with one of the balls under the thrust washer tilting the washer .
another
Thrust washer somehow did not seat flat inside out drive
last but least
sometimes the out drive itself is warped or defected
only a
few and rare but happens...
crooked washers or bad out drive make the thrust screw wobble till it breaks at head ....

Hey Wild Cherry!
The funny thing is I had a certain owner of a certain track
rebuild the diff for me. He wasn't there at the end of the week last week so I couldn't pick his brain and I didn't get in today. So, tomorrow I will see if he can fix it and answer my questions. See what happens when a guy tries to be a nice guy and fix a car for a person.
That Edit diff screw would be awesome but it says it's not available yet.
