Agreed.

Any new setup tips for the T4 following the Nats last weekend? I'm wondering if there are any "light" team setups coming...

Opinion on front tires please?

Do you run front tires, like proline edge? or do you use rears like holeshots on all 4 wheels?

when do you use front specific tires? when rears on the front wheels?

this is oriented towards the truck.

On tracks with loam I use tires like the edge. For tracks with consistent dust I run lower profile ribs or rear tires. Hard pack blue groove calls for rear tires most of the time.

exactly. our local track ranges between wet/loamy to dry/hard/dusty depending on how much water is in the track. I'll move from ribs with goosebumps to holeshots all around as the conditions change along that spectrum.

seems like the edge is gonna be alot needed then.

Thanks guys.

So you guys are saying for clay/hard packed tracks run edge type tires, and for looser, dusty tracks run something like bow ties, or holeshots?

How would suburbs do on loose-ish tracks? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ucts_id/141348

Is there any parts of the B4 that should be upgraded right away, or just see what breaks etc? I saw a couple people running aluminum front caster blocks at pegasus... Is this common?

I haven't got one yet, but I will be getting the factory team. It is worth the extra money right?

The only part that needs to be upgraded is the rear hubs. If you put b44 rear hubs on it, the outer bearings will last a lot longer because of their size! Also make sure you pick up a set of GT2 crush tubes as they are different than the stockers. You might also want to check out getting a 4* rear squat block. Chedda Bob, a few pages back makes them, and they are the BEST!!

Yes its worth the extra cash. No hop ups needed. Just a set of 30deg caster blocks and green rear springs.

This is in reference to front tires on the t4. A looser/wet dirt surface I prefer a rib front. As the track becomes hard pack, dry with a layer of dust I move to a holeshot all around. This is on a 75/25ish clay sand mix. My understanding is that Suburbs are more for a hard pack blue groove track. I don't have any experience there at all as my local track rarely sees those conditions.

Your b4 should be fine from a durability perspective out of the box. As you break parts, stick with plastic (as opposed to carbon $$) to gain a little more flex and durability.

I wouldn't suggest switching to plastic on the front a-arms. When I use to have a team kit with plastic arms I would be lucky to make it through a day without breaking atleast one. Finally I tried th FT ones and I never had one break up until I sold the car. Now that I've got a FT B4 I have yet to break an a-arm. So even though I've been told I'm absolutely crazy and that the FT ones are less durable from my experience they are not, stay with the FT front a-arms and you will be happy.
