I know the b4 likes the bigger wings for more rear traction. I've been running the 7" JC and losi arora 7". I have had tire rubbing issues w/ some of them so be sure to check that and you may have to bend up the ends to save your tires! I haven't tried the front wing at all....

I use the 6.5 inch B44 V-wing. Looks sweet with the JC body & it handles great.

well.....
I just finished building my brand new FT T4 today. And I'll say straight out...it was by far the worst build I've ever had. Tons of hand fitting. I had to go through 4 different shock caps to find ones the would thread. The springs are bent and rub the shock bodies. The motor cover mounting holes are visibly off. The hinge pins were so tight I had to actually hit them in place.
Basically, i'm shocked that AE would allow a car this poor to go out and then put their name on it...not only that but if I'm going to spend the extra dough to get a "FACTORY" kit....it better go together like a "FACTORY" car!
now...obviously in time, all this stuff will break in and loosen up...but I cannot believe that AE's kits are this poor. I haven't even driven this truck yet and I'm already afraid that the shock are going to blow out on me.
some of you may say "go losi then"...I dont want a losi, their new stuff is just as bad, but why can't we get a kit that goes together without hand-fitting?
ok i'm done

My B44 was actually my first AE in a while then went together without a hitch.

Who all makes bodies for the T4? And is there a difference between them? Thanks

I agree, and i plan on contacting AE about this situation. I just bought and built a FT B4 and the build was horrible. This kit was by far the worst kit i've ever built. Shock caps were a pain to put on, the hinge pins were so tight that the suspension bound up. Definately NOT the same quality that my T4 was when i built it a few years ago BEFORE Thunder Tiger bought AE. Obviously AE's quality went out the window when Thunder Tiger took over.
