Start with Pro-Line M2 ft tires & Snake Eyes for the rear

Also try Pro-Line Holeshots for the rear.....

Bowties have been working well for at my track...it's gets fluffy...dusty. I've tried the JC goosebumps also...seem about the same when dusty... when the track is holding more moisture they seem to have a slight edge over the bowties. my 2¢

Steppins are not as good at my track either compared to the bow or goosebumps. Not loamy enough.

looks alot like our track on a practice day.(we water better on race days)
Goose bumps in green compound work the best for us, with losi ifmar pins in red a close second. Shortening your camber links front and rear will help also. We all run very little negitive camber, between 0&-1 degree max.) running 0 degrees anti squat will help the rear end too. I've found personally that with a mod motor I need to dial some expo out also. Some of the younger guys don't seem to need too though. My 2 1/2 cents.

Does anybody know where to get the woven carbon front shock tower for the b4? here is a picture. It is on an Atomic carbon car, but they don't have them on their site.

Thank you kindly. A friend has a homemade carbon front shock tower, and doesn't suffer the multiple breaks that most of us other drivers at my track do.

How are you guys breaking them? I have never broken a front tower on my b4? and I've taken my fair share of licks with it.

Carbon Fiber is stiffer and not as flexible as plastic. So if you guys are breaking them all the time, go to the standard B4 tower, otherwise you'll be breaking your front tower even more.

Look on the AE website for the "worlds" setup from a couple years back.
