I'm stocking up on parts for my ft t4 other then arms and bulkheads what else should I get

You should also get the body mount as those can break if you flip alot.
You might as well get one of each shock tower just in case but I hardly ever broke them.

If you dont want to worry about bulkheads then get the aluminum

ally steering blocks wth. plastic all the way. i dont remember last time i broke a steering block, i dont ever remember breakin a steering block. usually a carrier goes if ur gonna kill somethin. no sense in spending $$$ and ur carrier will just break anyway. not to mention adding mass to end of suspension never helps.

nose dives
my t4.1 refuses to land jumps level or rear first. always hits the nose and flips. How do i fix this problem?

It's better to land slightly nose first rather than tail first, it gives you more control. Obviously a nose dive and flip is not good!
If throttle control just cannot get the nose up, try a slightly stiffer front end, or a slightly softer rear end, or limit the rear droop a little.

next question
My rear end was making gritty noises so I called AE. he said was the shims in the diff. apparently some shims were made to thin, but there was no way to tell if I had the correct shims or not. so they sent me some shims and told me to add them giving me 2 shims under the sun gear. My question is the pin that goes above the shim, Is that supposed to be very tight against the shim or whould there be a little wiggle room. I added the shim they sent but didnt seem to fix the noise in rear end and if the 2 shims arent correct then Ill remove the extra one. Soryy for the long confusing question just trying to quiet my rear end>

heres my FT B4. Haven't even had it on the track yet. Cant wait till i do though. It has a Novak Ballistic 7.5 motor and I think its a GTB esc I THINK. I'm very new to the 1/10 electric stuff. I've always raced 1/8 nitro buggys.

I can't get my shocks right. I get all the air bubbles out but when I put the cap on and tighten it, I can feel air bubbles forming in it and it feels like there isn't enough oil in them. What am I doing wrong? I filled them all the way to the top..
