Can you tell a difference between the new plastic and the old plastic towers for the b4? If so can someone maybe post a picture of the difference?

Thanks

The new front is built up more where the ballstud sits.

The rear, where the webbing is for the wing mount screws is solid on the new tower as well as where the battery strap sits is half the thickness.

Here's pics of the new towers.

Correct, the tower holes have all been moved "down" one hole so the very inside hole is the new 4th hole in the tower and the outer hole is the old middle hole in the tower.

Does this apply to the new SC10ft tower also?

also the tower is molded differently where the battery strap sits, its about 3mm taller for more clearance for lipos

RC Dude,

I noticed in pictures, that Ryan Cavalieri seems to be using Lunsford titanium screws in certain locations on the B4.1 and B44. Is this just a way to lower the CG or extra strength?

I believe the SC10/T4 tower has not been changed. But I will double check when I get into the office tomorrow

Ryan uses them mostly for the "Bling" factor and less weight.

I do not know if it has been mentioned, but I saw a picture on ebay and the t4.1 comes with the motor guard off of the sc10, with the bumper mount. are you still making the motor guard without this mount?
