I would check the diff and make sure it is not too loose. Is it a kind of barking/chirping sound?

the classes will say as they are. the motors are still 17.5 winds, 13.5 winds, and mod. remember that. a mod car will always be faster than a spec class unless one driver sucks. dont complain about it, get over it because its not going to change. timing is tuning, faster is more fun. for club racing, if you arent good enough to get out of spec classes because mod will kill you, and you will get killed, then making your spec car faster is not only more fun but a tuning option too. tuning with those tekin things is TUNING and you have to get that. things wont be changed. locked timing is too hard to tell with these days speedos.

RC10B4: Wide front wheels or standard?
What advantages/disadvantages are there with running Pro Line Velocity "Wide" front wheels as opposed to the standard AE front wheels?
02-24-2010, 06:20 PM
The standard AE front wheels included in the B4 kit are wide. They're the same width as the PL "wide" wheels. All newer 2wd front tires are designed for the wide wheels.

either that or a loose slipper.

If I pick up the T4 off the workbench and keep the chassis parallel to the ground should the front arms stay straight out? Do I need to change anything to make them looser? Or are they how they should be. Sorry if my description was confusing and thank you in advance for any thoughts, ideas or suggestions.

Would a person use diff lube? Black grease? Couldn't I just use a drill to make the hole slightly bigger? Thoughts??

How can you tune a SXX to compete with a Tekin??? The SXX isnt as programmable or is it????

the tekin is a easy to fine tune speedo. if you like perfect things the tekin is better, although i programmed a kids sxx and its crazy fast, here it keeps up with the tekins but the strait is small. the sxx is a bit more basic when it comes to setup for it compared to the tekin also. i think it could easily compete with a tekin.

Also, be sure to remove your ball cups and then check for binding. Bent, warped or dirty ball cups can be the cause of excess suspension binding. I've even seen where someone thought their arms were binding and it turned out to be a bad ball cup.

LIMITERS????
I am setting my T4 up based on Ryan Maifield's set-up sheet on the AE website. This will be my first season of actually setting up a car properly instead of just bashing non-stop. One thing I am not sure of is in the shock section of the set-up sheet when it says "# limiters". He has 6 in the front and two in the rear. What even are these limiters? Are downstops the same thing? Are all limiters the same size? Please help!!!! Thanks in advance.
