Dynotech still makes yellow rear wheels for B2/B3s. I ordered some the other day and they showed up almost overnight!

Not sure of the longetivity of doing this (or safety in the case of dremeling the battery case) so I sent them back and got a couple of iP3800 35C LiPos that fit perfectly (from Feral Batteries).

A few people here in Australia use a Kimbrough 69T Spur:

...with a Losi/AE front wheel bearing in the middle.
In the outer holes they use 12 x Traxxas Slipper pegs (you may need to make the holes slightly bigger):
...instead of the hex pads that come with the kit.
I have this set up in my brand-new FT B4 (albeit mine is yet unraced nor even been on the ground yet
) with a 40T pinion and a Trinity Pulse 17.5T. Just in case I have spare pinions from 37T to 42T in the event I have missed the sweet spot
.

Probably for the umpthousandth time, but for those who've run rc cars longer than I have and race 2wd mod, is the current brushless takeover due only to maintenance? Every now and then I see a 2wd mod car running and it really seems to be a lot more driveable. Brushless is obviously powerful but does it give the same 'feel' as a high spec, well set-up brushed mod motor in 2wd? Call me a luddite but I'm considering on tracking down some brushed gear to try and see for myself.

I just got a brand new B4 and i was wondering if there were any building tips i should know. Im going to be running mod with lipo. i have seen some people balance them front to back and left to right should i do that that and if so where?
Also what is a good set up for hard packed dirt that turns into blue groove?
Thanks Jason Hunt

RE: brushed motors - I got a 9x1 orion out today in my B4 and I have to say it felt much the same as my brushless 7.5 does now that I've been able to set it up to behave how I like it with the esc and radio. The brushed might just be a touch smoother though.. I think I'll give it a couple more runs but I daresay I'll end up agreeing with you.

Personally feel brush motors never were as smooth or as fast as the new designs from brushless...
Try a smoother brushless , like a 8.5 or even a 10.5 and then compare those to your 9T brush...

Are the B4 driveshaft/cvd compatible for a B3 in length etc.
