can someone please post a picture of a b4 battery strap with 4oz. of weights on it for a lipo. I think the way i put the weights on it is changing the way the car feels.

I line my tray with 1/16 inch Lead from here. Then I add 1 oz to the top of the battery strap. that equals a NIHM battery, right down to the oz.

I use Maxamps 6000

This is the slipper eliminator I have been running in my b4 and t4. I have used it with a 17.5 and also the 13.5 and have not had a problem with it hurting the diff yet.

A more exact weight...

I did ask Trish about the weight difference and he told me that it's for some flexibility to add/reduce weight since the top part of the brass block is flat.

I'd have to say the quality of machining wasn't top notch for the price. I got two of them, and the shaft holes height for one (in the middle) is slightly higher.

Trish offered to replace it, if I sent it in, but I wasn't inclined to spend more to have it returned for replacement.

If you're curious how much the stock anti-squat block weighs (in grams)...


Stock anti-squat block with 1oz (~28.35g) lead...

If one were to cost $25ish would you guys be interested in them? I can get them made fairly easy and for alot less than that.

If someone could have those things made but re-design them with the .06" forward arm mod and .03" off the bottom to allow for pro-squat....then turn around and sell it for $25 shipped, you wouldn't be able to keep them in stock if you tried.

There's your business plan, someone make it happen.
