I use lint-free industrial paper towels made by Caterpiller. They're clean, disposable, and 100% free for me. To clean the surfaces I've used denatured alcohol, tried motor spray, as well as lacquer thinner. Alcohol seems to work the best.

I think my problem is my wiring. I don't leave much slack and I think when I land on my front end that loosens up the esc. I could just reverse the battery pack and that would give the wires more slack, but I despise big loops and excess wire.

I actually have tried four or five different kinds of double sided tape for my ESC and only one has worked. Can't remember where I got it but remember that the ESC heats up unlike other pieces that are "stuck" to the vehicle. The tape has to be heat resistant. Also after I clean the area I let it sit for a while and then wipe off with a paper towel before applying the tape.

Any experiences with HobbyPartz servos? The rtr servo is complete garbage, but I'm not trying to break the bank. Also, can someone explain the difference between a digital and analog servo?

I use goo gone cleaner to spray down surfaces. It actually feels oily going on, but once I let it sit and then wipe the surface allows really good adhesion.

The servo tape I now use is this clear stuff that has a red wrapper on it. Can't remember what it is exactly but man that stuff is strong.

I use Parma tape. Thats the clear tape with red backing, it's the best.

+1 thats the stuff!

I am not famaliar with the Roar/Ifmar rules but is the +8mm chassis for the b4.1 legal for the T4.1? Im just curious about it. I am sure its been asked i just cant find the thread through search.

The +8 B4.1 chassis would make a T4 11mm shorter than stock. Not sure about the rules but why would you want a shorter truck? Not saying it might not work, just wonder why you want it.

does anyone know what the dimensions of the biggest servo you can fit in the T4? I'm looking at one with dimensions of 41.3x21.2x40. It's a hobbypartz Solar Servo D771.

did you get your truck yet?

No one has an opinions or answers on a question I asked a few days ago?

ya man.. all put together for the most part.. working on painting the body and waiting for wheels to come in. Check out those servo specs on hobbypartz for the solar servo. Seems awesome if it holds up.

Just curious. No plans to use it. Just wondering is all.

Associated DS1015 servo, (41.8x 20.6 x 39.6)
which I know will fit in a T4:



The Solar seems only a hair wider, so I would take the stab and give it a shot.

Parts came in, just need to grind the cvd ball end off the axels. Will post up results and a walk through if anyone is interested.

Figured id post some pictures of my T4. I havent had it long. Its a little different than most of the talk in here because I bought mine with intentions of finding a good basher that also handled well. I have been running stampede's for years and decided i wanted to try a stadium truck after my last stampede. I bought this T4 and love it so far. I have broken a couple small things, but i feel after some little upgrades it will be a really strong truck. The stampede is more durable, but the T4 out handles it by a lot and is much easier to control with brushless power. Not to mention the transmission is whisper quiet and smooth as glass

I also just bought a T4.1 and had plans to sell it, but my wife says she likes it better than her stampede she runs, so its staying too. No pictures of it yet, but here is mine:
