adding rear toe-in gives more rear traction but decreases corning speed. these rear hub carriers add rear toe-in because the stock carriers are 0-deg.

looking through your ae boys setups for brushless (Maifield mostly) im seeing 87/18 in the truck for a 6.5 sintered (as about what your saying)

also reading through the posts, and looking at gearing guides looks about like 81/22 for a 7.5 sintered in the buggy, it might be able to pull 84/24 though.

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS AND INCITE COACH!

yeah me and my dad bought one each,they arent very thick and snapped pretty easily,like no flex but they just cracked and snapped

they do look pretty nice though and the wings that come with them are also very nice

Thanks Jake - wasn't sure what the .5 referred to. They seem pretty hard to get a hold of.

If you use the .5 blocks rather than a different rear plate you will also keep a slightly longer wheel base. More of a fine tuning option in my opinion. I played with stuff like this on my TC for awhile and found them to be useful depending on the track. If you have too much rear traction with a short wheel base and not enough with the long wheel base, try them.

How bout the LRP 6.5 in a B4? What are your thoughts? I'm running 84/19 i think at the moment. I don't have the sintered rotor yet, although it is on my list of purchases.

there are not different rear plates to adjust this setting at all for the b4/t4, you might be thinking your in the xxx/xxxt thread. and yes if you add the .5 rear HUBS it will rotate the tires, and you might want to move the hubs backwards to try and gain that "balance" again, but my suggestion is just not to get the .5 hubs, there is a reason all 2wd offroad cars come with 3-deg rear toe-in, and my guess is that its whats best in the dirt.

from what i hear you can go up 3 teeth when you add a sintered rotor in the buggy. so 84/21 in the 6.5 with sintered may be a good start.

I started running offroad again after a couple of years off. I have an original B4. I see in the setup sheets that on the rear. They say # of shims w/ new brace. What is the difference from 2004 to now?

the updated u-brace is just thicker where the ballstuds go in, so you don't need to use three spacers to get the "desired" turnbuckle angle.

I run the RE 1.5 hubs on both b4 & my t4... helps the car square up much better on the power.

http://www.rc10.com/enlarge/9584.htm (t4/b4 0-deg hubs - 3deg toe-in)

http://www.rc10.com/enlarge/7932.htm (gt2 1.5-deg hubs - 6-deg toe-in or 0-deg toe)

don't understand how these 1.5-deg hubs will help the car, while it will increase cornering speed on principal, you wont have enough steering on turn-in to use it.

From my experance it will make the car square up quicker for jumps and track strighter down the stright. I will also take away some stearing from the car.

More rear toe will give the car a lot of on power grip. You'll be pulling wheelies if the track can handle it.
Overall however, it will make the car less stable. Any surface irregularities the car tracks through will be exagerrated(sp).

personally i run maifield's setups from the 07 cactus on both my b4 and t4 and i love how my car/truck drives.

Well going through my setup, its very close to many of the pro-level drivers....with a few tweaks to suite my driving.
