Ditto on the balancer. Definately worth while.

I got a 3's just too see what kind of speed On road I could pull off...its ridiculous. Really its overkill...you have to feather the throttle up to top speed so you dont spin out.

actually stopping is the hard part...it does about 6-7 spins and slides forever before finally coming to rest. Alot of fun.

Yea to run the 3's Lipo you have to get the Mamba 5700. The 7700 is the fastest motor but will only run 2's lipo. So 5700 with 3's is allaround the fastest top speed. The top speed is just STUPID fast. I wish I had a speed gun.

I still cant figure out why the heck this servo wont go all the way over to the other side. I wonder if I got a defective servo....I did get it off ebay but in new condition.

Maybe your servo horn is not centered?

Turn buckles same length? Radio EPA the same? Sub-trim centered or needs adjusted?

On my T4, the servo saver will hit the center post so watch out for that. I don't have the same steering from one side to the other either.

yea guys I think before I installed the servo I turned it so it is not center then I installed it. Before setting it up I then installed the horn...so I think everything is off now. I fixed it with the steering trim...but I think it was all off from the beggining. Soooo I need to take the servo arm off...re-center the trims on the spektrum. and THEN put it all back together. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Anyway.. I have to get some video footage of this beast on the 3's lipos and on-road tires...you guys will freak out on its top speed. I have never even seen anything on you-tube like this. I only saw one guy that had the same set-up and he had his slipper so tight he just kept flipping his car...kinda lame actually. My slipper is perfect now and when you feather the throtle it just screams by. Its hard to control and hard to find enough real estate to get a decent run before your slamming on the brakes. No bad accidents yet but I am sure the carnage will inevitably come my way in the near future.

I just ordered the titanium turnbuckles and rod ends for the b4. Are these a good upgrade for the b4? Also what other upgrades do you recomend?
