Having just bought the AE 44.2 Im very tempted to grab one of these.

I do love my TLR 22 but you know how it is, something new and shiny comes along.

No doubt.....Been waiting on this. I've got money says the t4 and sc10 are next

If you go to "the big RC" website, they have a picture of the T4 with newly designed A-arms. Perhaps it's an updated design that IS coming out next.

Avid doesn't call it pack on that specific page, but they do refer to high speed damping vs low speed damping, which was the point of that link.

Check out GHEA's page on their "pack control pistons" that are specifically designed to offer the similar low speed damping as their 8x1.3 pistons but with various pack levels.

From now on you will only need to change the piston to get the pack you want.

We call it "Pack control"

We start out with the 16mm big bore pistons for AE RC8.2 which also will fit the X-ray XB9,Kyosho MP9, Hong nor Sabre,etc.

GHEA3044 16mm tapered 4 holes piston with 20% more pact compare to GHEA3056 8x1,3 with equal oil wt.
GHEA3046 16mm tapered 6 holes piston with 10% more pack compare to GHEA3056 8x1.3 with equal oil wt.
GHEA30414 16mm tapered 14 holes piston with 10% less pack compare to GHEA3056 8X1.3 with equal oil wt.

Avid refers to it as high speed damping, GHEA refers to it as pack. Both mean the same thing basically.

Technically, they aren't a new design for the T4. It's the SC10B front arms and tower, and it just so happens that they work on the T4, giving the truck more steering.

Hah. My t4.1 is so good already. I can't imagine "more steering" in T4. I went up in ball stud washer in the front to add a little push back to my front end because my steering was so intense. Wonder if it's on power steering it adds. Could use a little more of that come to think of it. Good stuff.

Wow, 5 more pages already... what a great price for this kit... I just bought my b4.1 wc in august and have upgraded everything to what the.2 has except the slipper. I just put the slpipper in my amain cart. 15 bucks for the conversion.

My current wc is better than this car already. Way to go associated, you released the same car you did last year with almost no difference. and fanboys are going to eat it up

Why are people so butthurt about ae releasing an updated version of a championship winning car. It took the best of the .1 and added upgrades to make it even faster. Ae doesn't need a complete redesign, why mess with a good thing?

I never understand people that pick this car apart and complaining about how it the "same". It's the most winning buggy and made even better. Lets get back to the science of shock pack and fluid dynamics with the benefits of WD40 vs. Pledge thrown in for good measure and discuss them ad nauseam.

I think people would have liked a suprise. Lol we pretty much said 3 months ago what it would be. Like someone said before. With all of the upgrades it might convince a few to switch to ae

I wonder if they are tires you can even buy from AKA that they are using. My guess is probably some prototype or compound you can't buy. If they are running something everyone could buy then thats pretty cool.

It mainly the same two Pros from Associated winning. Cav and Mayfield. When one or both change teams then that company will be the ones winning. Its just a cycle of who has the best two racers right now and its Associated.
