I am sure it is a tighter hole, but I prefer to have access to more holes.

Slop is actually good, takes some of the twitchyness out and easier to drive. It's the endearing trait of the B4.
might be 2-3 degrees... |

The extra play you have with the 3 hole is not a game changer , would use the 3 hole till they are used up and then try the 2 hole ....
So 3 hole for me just to keep it simple. |
yeah, I have been reading the rb6 thread, they have a crazy amount of parts for setups. That car is expensive to buy and seem expensive to setup for racing. Even if the RB6 is better, I would stick with the b4 so I have more money for tires, lol.

one thing that annoyed me about the kyosho was the amount of different parts it had. RB5 arms, SP arms, SP2 arms, WC arms and then a ZX5 arm conversion. Regular towers, SP2 towers, WC towers, short towers, high towers. etc. One of the reasons I wanted to try the B4 is there is only one type of everything.

Thats what i hated too. You had to run the arms from this car and the medium shock ends from that car and something else from somewhere else, lol. I heard it is alot better now with the rb6 though.
I hated that when I ran an RB5. The guy I bought it from had two different rear arms on the car and it took me 2 race days to realize it. One was shorter than the other :eek: |
Put in the new tappered pistons last night. they fit tighter in the shock body, and tighter on the shock shaft. Bench racing they feel nice and plush, curious to see how they are on the track next.

Are you 100% sure that ugly sound isnt your diff? Known as a diff bark.
The slipper sound -to me- is not bad. Just a suggestion -Good luck tracking down the issue |
even if the rb6 is *better*, there are still people breaking the same parts and the fix seems to be "MORE ALUMINUM." Broken u-brace? ALUMINUM. Broken bell crank? ALUMINUM. Prematurely worn outdrives? $40 MIP setup. For $450 it should come with all that or it shouldn't break so easily. It doesn't seem like I have to worry about any of that with the B4. Can't wait for the RB6 SP, it'll come with all the aluminum fixes and cost more than a ebuggy.
So, Parts support is a huge one. I don't mean to turn this into a brand bashing convo. Just my opinion/rant. |

For those of you running the center mounted ESC, have you noticed a difference?
