I don't think anyone even has a 1.5 available ...

If you don't want to wait for the alloy ones, try this.

http://order.aeteam.net/product_deta...?Itemcode=7932

and this

http://order.aeteam.net/product_deta...?Itemcode=7933

and finally...

http://order.aeteam.net/product_deta...?Itemcode=7935

Of course if you already run B44 style rear hubs you do not need the last two items.

what gearing do you recommend to start with on a b4 on a 9.5 motor on a medium sized track?

ok I have a question for anyone who can help. I bought a b4.1 rtr about 3 mos ago and am considering switching from the gear diff that came with the buggy to a ball diff, I believe the rtr 3300 kv is equivalent to 13.5 brushless. I was wondering what I would gain by switching? I only know gear diffs because I have come from running rtr short course. Honestly I am a little nervous in the service about the switch how easy is it to build/maintain a ball diff? The buggy seems a little ass happy!

Default You can try , but be aware ...

The tab off-set for the Gt-2 hub is forward compared to the B-4 hub ..


means the ti-rod will be rubbing the shock & spring s really bad, no diss intended but I don't think it will even work ...

Ae ball diff's are fairly easy to assemble & maintain even compared to gear versions..

The extra traction and performance you gain using a ball diff is well worth the time and investment for racing.

at the same time

If you only bash around and do not race, a gear diff will do just fine and will also deliver good performance.....

What are the rear hubs that come with the b4? Are they zero degree? Does the toe-in come from the way the arms are mounted? Somewhat new to the b4. Last associated buggy I had was a aluminum tub team car! All I did with the b4 was put on the lightweight setup with 25 degree blocks and leave the rear hubs alone. It handles like a dream, but I'm curious what toe-in I've actually got.

Yep Raz, toe is built into the arm mounts. The B4 comes with 0 degree rear hubs. Overall rear toe-in should be 3 degrees...

Default RC10 B or T

Ready to get back into the sport / hobby...however with the new releases of 4.1 in both B and T, does buying a Kit FT B4 make sense right now?

Or should I wait till the new kits come with all the latest and greatest stuff?

The 4.1 B/T is a great way to get into it again at minimal cost. Unless you have a good amount of startup hardware, or would rather have a much better radio to start with, then getting a 4.1 is a no brainer.

I would suggest going ahead and making the leap into LiPo and buying a good LiPo charger to start with. You can replace the speedo and motor whenever you feel youre ready, and already have the battery and charger issue taken care of.

No offense taken.

I see what you are talking about. I think if you mount the turn buckle on the opposite side of the ear, it may not rub. Hmmm.
