I personally don't use one on my B4 because the outdoor track that I race on is rough but you will not want to use a swaybar on a bumpy track but it works better on a smooth track. I should try one on the smooth indoor track that I race on though.

we run a carpet track with jumps and it is nice an smooth so it is good to have the sway bar on. the track has jumps on it also but im just sayin that the sway bars don't affect the jump.

I use a sway bar on my t4 and b4. It works well for me and prevents traction rolls. Since i began using them last winter i have removed them once or twice while testing and i always put it back on. It feels more locked in to the track to me. Alot of folks choose not to run them, but it suits my driving style. My advice is to purchase one and try it if your curious. I am currently running the thinnest one(black).


FYI- alot of competition 4wd buggies,truggies and M/T's run sway bars....for a reason.

Sorry for the simple question, but here it is: Does the rc10t4 factory team have a carbon fiber or plastic chassis? I know the website says carbon, but I heard they changed it to plastic for the factory team. Thanks in advance for your help.

For the stock body on the B4, are you supposed to use velcro with or without body clips? Thanks, Doug

Its really your choice.

Personally for me it depends. If I'm just bashing, I don't use any body clips and normally the same for the track unless its open practice where things get chaotic, so I use the body clips to ensure I'm not readjusting the body every few minutes.
