The plastic ones are quite rare in my neck of the woods, I've heard good things about the RPM arms, but again very hard to get local. How many sets of arms do you have m8, take into account I live in Australia, so 10 sets would be my minimum to cover postage. Send me a PM.

If you are still wanting to stay with the t4 carbon I will make you a deal on a few carbon arms and steering components,
Michaels' right, the gt2 front end from RPM products is nearly unbreakable and guaranteed so. For about twenty bucks you can't beat it!

I usually rebuild/change the shock oil after two meets or so. The diff as required, its also a good idea to periodically check the slipper for glazing.

i think you should rebuild your diff/shocks when your car starts to feel like sh*t

You cant go past speed passion GT for ease for set up and speed, ensure you get the control box for set up.

I will post a great setup for indoor high bite tracks later today. Me and a few others locally have been using it and feels really good T4 wise. Almost nothing is the same as the stock setup, if that's what you use. I'm sure the person we got the setup from is sponsored by AE, but I'm not positive. Anyways, it's worth a try in practice to see if you like it. If not you can always switch back to what you're comfortable with.

Default Motor Gearing Question

I've wondered this forum for a little while, and it would be quite a daunting task to check all 180 some pages for this bit of info but..
I have a Sphere comp with Novak EX 10.5 brushless in my RC10B4, the gearing is completly baffling me. Anyone have suggestions? I just want Cool temps with the best accel/top end ratio I can get. Track doesn't really matter because I usually just knock around with my freinds outside.
My freind has a sphere comp also, but has a Novak SS13.5 and runs like 78spur with 27 pinion with the kind of performance I'm looking for.
Any help?

Personally, I just got the Robinson Racing pinion set for 48 pitch gears-so I've got a whole collection of them, and every time I put in a new motor I play around with the gearing until I get what I want. Once I figure out what gearing I want, I get a higher quality pinion from Losi or one of the top of the line RR ones, because the multipack RR ones are cheap and don't last nearly as long (but they're cheap, perfect for testing).

I'd start at 78-23/24 and go from there. I've never run a 10.5 in my B4 so I can't give you a definite answer, but that's where I'd start if I were you.
