I would use rear hub #9730 as it is a direct drop in for the T4. You will need the bearings and spacer Wild Cherry mentioned as well.

Why not saw it off with a rotary tool? You can also buy some spacers offered by Tamiya since many of their cars need this for some odd reason...

Just running a search on Tower Hobbies got a lot of hits from various manufacturers:

Now you can space your Castle motor and not have to ream out the gear cover...

Hmm havent heard of this one, kinda similar to putting a little bit of droop spacers under the pistons? But i guess it would change the shock angle slightly.

How much weight are people having to add to the side of the battery tray when running lets say.. an Orion 3800 Lipo? I need to guess on how much to order

I am buying a Factory Team T4 kit and would like some advice. I have about $20 to spend to get my purchase up to $250 so I can utilize a "$25 off" coupon.

Any thoughts on some relatively cheap additions that are "must have" for a T4?

I'm getting into the hobby again after a number of years, so have some old pinion gears, but maybe I should buy some new ones. Any ideas, using the stock spur gear, on a starting point for a pinion gear? Novak 17.5 motor, relatively small track.

Is the shock oil and springs included in the FT kit good for a starting point, or should I immediately switch those out?

Thanks for any ideas!

I think we need to support the local track. I myself have been guilty of buying online but i still by alot of my things at the track even though i could save more in the long run.

Tracks are few and far between.

Oooook, let's say I was buying $20 worth of items from a local track. What would you recommend?

I will be supporting my local track via practice and racing fees. I understand what you're saying, but I have to imagine I'm probably not the only one who is buying a vehicle online.
