You can get the motor/esc for the same price i'd pay for the motor.:cool:

Anyway, i'm frustrated. Can't do nowt till the Boca bearings arrive.:cry:

And i'm thinking about picking up a B44.1 so i can get on the local track....it's either that or a TC:rolleyes: as they don't do 1:8....yet...;)

I'm the same way, I want another kit, I just can't decide on an Ofna GTP2e or a B4.1 1/10 2WD. That's a pretty cool class to race in too

And I know a lot of RC drivers. And I don't know anyone that runs $90 bearings in their buggy.

Doug2507 01-28-2011 04:06 PM

That ofna looks sweet! Local track does 1:10 on road mainly. Even held the scottish nationals a couple of times. Off road is split between 2wd & 4wd 1:10. They've got land for 1:8 offroad but they used to run a nitro class and a load of houses were built beside it resulting in complaints about noise so stopped it all. Just need to drum up enough interest in 1:8 electric and get the track sorted. May as well get a 1:10 for now so i can start competing but the on road's already well established and doesn't really appeal as much as the off road.

At least i'm sorted for 1:8 if/when it happens. 1:10 is a damn sight cheaper!

Any reason for preferring 2wd over 4wd?

I put a screw through one of the bearings on one of the front hubs so needed a replacement. Decent quality bearings over here (Abec 5's, same as i used in my board) cost about £10 for a pair so getting a full set of decent bearings for $100 kinda made sense. Buy right buy once.

How would you install them sticking out of the side? Do you mean turning the battery on it's side?

GreggW 01-28-2011 04:39 PM

I turned it wires to the left side rear. Fits good, looks like the battery tray was cut out in case you needed to do this.

yes that is exactly what i meant. it seems you have to do this to get that lipo to clear the body. is this what you found?

GreggW 01-28-2011 04:59 PM

Yes, it's the same way for me. And I have Velcro on the sides of the body. Fits perfect sideways. I'd rather have the battery wires like that too.

post a pic if its not too much trouble. i dont plan on racing any ROAR events, makes me want a soft case pack to avoid any problems, not to mention theyre lighter!

Love my b4 :D. I mean only reallyweak point my friends and I have found are the stuck turnbuckle cups and the front bulkheads. I replaced all cuts with rpm ones and bought an alinimum bulkhead after the one I have in and the spare plastic ones break
