I just use the losi bearings in the hubs and rims, but in the tranny i use AE's teflon, but never clean or oil them, they are still as smooth as the day they were new.

It has still been dominating, I wonder if they feel the pressure to make a new GT because people realize its 10 years old...

After a three year hiatus from R/C, I dropped by my LHS on Saturday and picked up a FT B4. So far I'm extremely pleased with the kit and am stoked to get it on the track. I bought a 3PM today, so I'm one step closer.

T4 is all ready to go.... now I get no radio response..... just glitched once. Someone in another thread mentioned my crystals might be bad, any more ideas?

Best thing about SlockZero is they only charge .95 for domestic shipping.
If you buy it, use the Futaba adapter in your T4 kit for the servo. It goes on pretty tight, but it fits and works well.

Im still up in the air about the graphite plastic debate. Plastic has more flex so it will provide better stability and better grip on a loose track. But I race in the Midwest where alot of the tracks are smooth and high bite clay. What i do is take a graphite chassis with me everywhere and i will swap them periodically throughout testing to see what works best. Has anybody else tried putting a 0.030 piece of lexan under the batteries?

I might try the lexan idea.
I got my steering servo wired up. I went to test out the steering and found that it steered opposite to what I wanted it to. I turned on the servo reversing and its fine now but I'm guessing thats not normal. What can I do to remedy this?

I like it on slick tracks better. It may not be as planted but its consistant and it makes you work on the suspension. Because the suspension should do the work not the flex of the chassis

I was wondering if anybody knew of a good place to get anodizing done. I would like to get my shiny cvd's anodized blue. Any help would be nice.

Butters37, unfortunately anodizing can only be done on aluminum and in some cases, ti). Your shiny MIP bones are steel. If you can get aluminum CVD bones then they could be done but you will find that anodizing is very expensive unless it's done in batches to bring the cost per item down.
