Only 2 bearings changed in the b4-b4.1... That's the diff bearings in the tranny case. Thy are metric.

The biggest change in any of the plastic parts was the +8 chassis and the rear shock tower which removed the outer shock lonhyn and added the inner shock mount we were drilling for years. The rest was just a softer plastic in the .1 and .2

AAUUGGHH! Worst case scenario! Guess I'll tear into it and find out for sure.

Here is mine after a lipo fire on Monday. Just ordered the +8mm chassis.

The good news is that unless you have to have the latest/greatest, you can pick them up really inexpensively on eBay and other sale forums.

Same goes for on-road. We run both. My driving skills don't yet justify shelling out full retail most of the time.

I've heard that you can. I'd be really interested to upgrade mine. Let me know if you end up doing it or finding out more. I'd like to know what part numbers are required.

I assume it's breaking ball cups/ball ends.
Be sure the servo saver is adusted correctly OR
Get these:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXFPW8&P=ML
WAY stronger than the 4/40 ball ends.
They will work on the steering arms and the rear camber links.
Then,something else will snap off.
Just use a 4/40 bolt with those.

I have broken a few.Maybe 4 in 6 years.They just wear out.

Hmmm. That might be a good option. A little pricey. I've broken a few ball cups and ends lately or sometimes it pops off. Either way kind of annoying to deal with.

Hi

I love my b4s, I have 2 with electrics and one almost roller. I won't be upgrading them from bashing for a while to come (unless the right deal comes along).

They are all rc10b4.0 buggies

I am running a couple of 6000mah Intellect (ip) 2s lipos in one of them. The problem I see is the battery thickness means that when I use them with the factory team thumbscrews, I can't tighten the thumbscrews down. They are loose and so far I've lost 2 (of 4 I think). What would be the way to get them to tighten at a larger height, could I just undo the screw cups they tighten into a bit?

I see quite a few posts about people even running 3s in theirs, if you managed to fix a tall battery in your B4 and are not loosing thumbscrews "bashing" as I am, I would love to know a fix. I have velcro and a dremel handy

Thanks Everyone

I used this on my old B4. 3S seems crazy on a B4, I'd imagine traction would be an issue.

I tried the thumbscrews. No good.
Just use a couple of long 4/40 bolts.
Cut the heads off of 2 bolts and thread those into the chassis.
I went back to the stock set up on one of my T-4's.
I used a super long body clip-very secure.

Bought some 4/40 (thanks for the measure!) lock nuts from ebay, 10 for like £1.40

All fixtures fixed when it comes to the tall battery :xDpP

Hi everyone - I tried searching this thread for information on converting T4 from ball diff to gear diff. Mostly what i found is going from gear to ball.


I have the gear diff but not sure exactly which parts need to be changed for it to fit into a T4.0 gear box. Any help would be great.

Thanks!
