As you can see on the site, new B4 towers will incorporate the new design which removes the original outer hole and adds a 4th inner hole. The new inside hole is ideal for running the lightweight car with lipos.

I keep looking for these at my LHS and no one knows about it also called Associated and the arrogant dude on the phone claimed they didn't exist and then a track owner I talked to claimed they made them, had breakage issues due to the mix of the plastic. They recalled all those and remixed the plastic.

I don't know WHO to believe anymore!! Also AE is denying revised shock O-rings... Anyone??

strong enough, not a very high end servo. you generally want something around .1 and at least 100oz

Picked up my first lipos and made a blunder. The Lipos I got have the leads coming out the side. I was thinking I could remedy this by dremiling out the webbing in that section of the tray. I am thinking I am not the only one who has made this mistake. Do you think this will be ok or will it weaken the chassis to much? I will probably have to open up this area from front right of tray back about an inch because I have never used lipo in my Factory T4 and am not sure where I am going to have to place the batt. Thanks for any input.
