those guys I mentioned had both lol

But as this alone has shown, opinions do vary. Sometimes you got to take the plunge and see for yourself.

IMHO, the bb's shine in keeping the 2wd truck settled overall, especially in bad or flat landings. Truck just seems less likely to get upset by the less than perfect moments. I drive indoors without too many big jumps, so I can't speak for what they do on a rough track, but I'm sold on 'em regardless...and I swore I wouldn't buy them when they were first released...

I have a question for anyone that can answer. Im running the Castle 1410- 3800kv motor. 62spur 15pinion. I have to run 50% throttle because it's way to fast. What s/p would you guys say i need to slow this thing down? I run smaller tracks most indoor plus im just starting out.

Thanks

Nice!
RC8B front shocks/shafts are 29mm, 8T are 32mm. Both use super long 38 (no good!) rears. Any reason to go with the 32s? Not needed on the rear? Just checking, I've been doing a ton of investigating...

If you're going to put everyone on this silly Story arch for this Truck, at least do them the justice of a Part Number Guide, WC. So we don't have to answer the incoming 500 questions every 2 pages.

Please.

Sorry for being anxious and asking questions, I was just about to pull the trigger on some of these shocks...WC's doing the R&D for me...

Naw man. This is new. Not the drabble we've been going over for the last 6 months. I appreciate the R&D even if I don't agree with it. I just don't want to have the entire thread saturated in WC's drabble explaining it's superiority over and over in his Craplish speak. If he can spend 5 minutes thinking about what he's typing and type out a parts guide and anything needed to be known, we can quote it for the following 50 people who ask about it. You're all good.

(If you're wondering. I'm not an asshole. I just don't like him.)

I'm afraid to confront him with his "AE knows best" crap with modifying his truck for Triad and now BB shocks. Oh crap, just did.

Cherry, from the vids you've posted, your track is pretty damn smooth, and doesn't have any big jumps. What do you expect to gain from the bigger shocks?
