yeah even came with a fullsize bottle of 30wt oil too, i thought that was amazing when i got the shock bag lol.

I watch a lot of threads. Kyosho, Losi, durango etc. Aside from a QC issues, the b4 seems to have the least amount of issues out of the box. But again, it is a very mature platform, so that is part of it.

It stated that you use a 3/16 open end wrench or the shock tool that comes with the big bores.

so i just broke my diff screw trying to follow the kit instructions. should i have pre-compressed the diff spring or something? i couldn't get anything but +2deg camber prior to attempting the "man up" on that screw.

yeah, you can squeeze the diff spring. jesus how hard were you cranking on it? sound like you put it together wrong or you are pretty buff.

wonder if his spring was like mine was...

good thing dremel skills are part of an RC'ers skill set. ended up being the smoothest diff i have built too.... kinda sad.

Pretty buff lol.

My spring looks a bit rough. I just ordered some replacement screws and diff springs. When the parts arrive I'll take pics of the old one.

Make sure you install the screw / nut into the correct outdrive. It sounds like you had it backwards.

What did you use to get the wires from the server to receiver, dremel? Looks good.

They give the oil but no green slime?:confused:

Awesome! Something else I can give money to avid for! I don't have enough black & silver yet;)

There is a HUGE difference in quality, weight, & toughness between the stainless & titanium, hence the HUGE price difference. For something that is even tougher than titanium, but with the huge price (or bling :cry:), I have these for sale:

Here is my question regarding the avid standoffs. I have a b4.1 that is completely upgraded to a b4.2 except that my shock towers are dremeled rather than using the recommended spacing for big bores.

SHould i order the direct fit b4.2 standoffs since the new shock towers will be out soon?

It depends on when the towers actually arrive in stores. They're a running change and hobby stores will sell old stock before new stuff. I would get the standoffs for your existing tower then down the road when you have the new towers in hand, purchase the new standoffs.

you dremeled your towers. So you should be able to use the short standoffs front and rear. I am using the plastics ones f/r, so I dont know why the short ones would not work for you.
