I run a 1258 Savox with the alum steering setup no issues here...

well, I heard the lopros like to strip gears so, I thought maybe a servo saver may be prudent. I was asking for peoples personal experience whether a servo saver is necessary or not.

My buggy is in hog territory pushing 1620g so, I'm trying to shave some weight wherever possible. I'm using a chassis and body wrap so, that's why mine is so heavy. I might take the chassis wrap off too though.

Does anyone else have a large difference between L-R rear ride height with spring collars at same level? To get my rear level I have about 3 or 4mm difference in spring collar position...?

check to make sure you have the correct and same spring cups on and they are on the right direction.

* check to see if you screwed the shock eyelets all the way & even.
*check if internal shock limiter's (.030 spacer) count is correct .

Just wondered if someone could give me the shock lengths (shock cap to shock shaft eyelet) on the 4.2 shocks?

Same here I run a 1258 Savox in my T4 and a 1257 in my B4, both with the AVID aluminum steering with NO steering saver. This is pretty exactly the same setup our entire track uses with no issues.

Good to hear! Thanks

right direction?

Guys, are the 9873 C hub tower meant to work with the 4.2?

I see that the hub towers are changed for the big bores. There are new A and B towers but not a new C tower.

Yes ....

well for the first time since getting big bore shocks, I have my buggy dialed. Only took 2 months, lol. After I bought a 22 4 weeks ago, I saw in the 22 what I wanted from my b4. basically I wanted more steering from the rear. so, I tweaked a few things and ended up at AE's suggested shock package with 30/27.5 oils, lol. I changed to holeshot m3's in the rear because they allowed more rear steering than the 3d's or dd's. I lower the front ball stud to 1mm washer, switched to c hubs in the rear with no washers and a NON shaved brace. My shock positions and camber links are in the usually places we most all use. Also, I ran my shorty all the way back. with 28 grams in a foam in front of the shorty. The weight was mount under the foam, thus lower cg. I have been playing a lot with shorty positions and weighted foams. The shorty by its self was never right and the full pack felt heavy, but I really like playing with weighted foam and moving it around. Something to try if you get bored. basically the same idea at the Orion wts packs.

What things can I do to get more onpower steering? Thanks

hi b4.2 owner.

please, can you weight your b4.2 cars?

i am thinking aboout switching from my fully tuned dex210 to the b4.2


thank you

I have a B4.1, with the upgrades so it will be exactly the same. The exception is I'm running the AVID aluminum steering which is several grams heavier. I'm running a Ballistic 17.5 high output motor and Novak GTB2. Running a CRC shorty battery. I'm at 1531 grams. I don't have any weight added anywhere (except the ballast kit) nor have I attempted to lighten anything (such as lighter screws, shortening the wires, eliminating the Deans connectors, etc) that many do in a quest for light weight. This is with JConcepts hex wheels with BroCodes in the back and Rips in the front. Almost forgot... that's with an RC4 transponder as well and I'm running B44 rear plastic hubs and not the factory aluminum. Also running a Savox 1257 servo and a Losi aluminum servo horn. The B4 platform is pretty light from the factory.
