Front A-Arms, Front C-Hubs, and Rear Hubs. Perhaps a Rear Chassis brace if your track has large 1/8th scale size jumps where you can't downside the jumps.

That's all I've ever really messed up on my truck.

You can use the stock hinge pins with the gt2 arms. You just have to cut them off with the dremel.

My main track had a double that I broke two arms on this summer. Never broke an arm before. I put the duece arms on and no trouble since.

I also broke two rear cvd's where they exploded at the coupler from shaft to axle. Rear one wheel landings seem to do it. lol Both times it landed cocked on one wheel then came down (no crash) and I nailed the throttle expecting to go and nothing. Kinda funny. I blame the power of the 6.5 and lipo, but I know it's the bad landings.

What he said above as well as a u-brace/rear bulkhead, the ballstuds like to break off on a hard side impact. A way to prevent this is to make sure the ballstuds dont loosen up and you could buy the Ti. ballstuds, i havent broken one since i replaced them with the Losi Ti. ballstuds.

Anyone had any problems with the JConcepts Relux wheels on a T4. I ran em for the first time and my motor temps went up like 20deg. Its either that or the quick change hubs are binding somewhere but they feel fine and it runs fine. I noticed if the track is damp the insides of the rear Relux wheels load up with clay pretty bad. Just wondering if anyones had this problem...Thanks

Snap a wing shim in half and glue behind the wing mount....
tilts the wing more and developes
extra down force....

True, but less top speed. more wind resistance. its a drag!

What was the previous servo you used before the Hitec 645MG?

I hope your transmitter is not set in HRS mode. When in HRS mode, you have to use digital servos.

The Hitec 645MG is not a digital servo and therefore the transmitter should be set to operate in PPM mode.

If the transmitter is in HRS mode and you used an analog servo, the servo (and maybe the receiver) can get damaged.

The receiver will auto-detect whether it should operate in HRS or PPM mode based on what's set in the transmitter.

Actually, you are so right! I already had someone pm me with that same theory which was actually my problem. Thank you so much for your response! Previously, I was using a futaba s3004 which I kept stripping the gears on. That's why I went up to the hitec 645mg. I didn't realize the HRS was only for digital servos. Once I changed it over to PPM it stopped making noise and runs without overheating. Thanks for the reponses!

I do this to my cars pending on the track layout, If you have a straight that you are slowing down on it will only help you. It's a good tip from my experience.

wild cherry you need to some better paint.

I don't think AE is looking at moving to a T5/B5 yet. The B4/T4 are still dominant at the National/World level. Until they start getting beat consistently, I don't see them moving to a new gen (this is the thought from my local AE team driver as well). With that being said, it seems they are starting to see some competition from Kyosho again. Losi seems to be a non-factor any more with all the RTR stuff they have. It's good to see the K-cars coming back again. I remember back in the day (late 80's, early 90's) Kyosho was the BOMB!

I don't see how losi is a non factor.
