220 british pounds shipped to North America....not sure what the conversion rate is to USD, but in Canada, that equates to more money than I paid for my 4.2....

Looks nice though... If I had unlimited funds, I'd have already ordered one!

ok, so a few days ago I posted that I was going to run the local indoor track today. Rather than watch me race, which sucks for sure. I thought you guys might like to see Maifield and Kinwald run the track, but alas nothing ever goes according to plan. I was requiredto turnmasrshel the mod buggy a-main, so my assistant (the brick wall) do the filming. The results were Maifield, Rivken (spelled wrong i am sure) and Charles Hicks. There was 2 X cars, 1 Losi and 7 B4's in the race.

Enjoy my bad filming, maybe you can at least see the track in action.

Yep Maifield and Rivkin have been up at the new Warehouse 3 the last 2 Fridays. It is awesome to see these guys battleing back and fourth. Spencer is going to be an amazing driver his driving style is exactly like Maifields.

finally got the steering i was looking for in my 4.2, ended up removing 1 limiter in the front shocks, and unscrewing the the shock end 1.5 turns, made a huge difference and its a joy to drive now lol

I use the tiny little protek pack, at 100C and 3000mah I was apprehensive at first but it is crazy light!!! I will be using that pack exclusively in my B4.2!

I just set my shocks up like the manual said.

How did you come up with the 1.5 turns? The reason is I might do the same. What feel did you have and what did the changes do to the feel?

Ran a shorty lipo for the first time in stock 2 wheel yesterday. I ran on a small indoor clay track with medium traction. I really liked the way the car rotates with the shorty and how nimble it felt in the turns. Pretty much just ran it even with the u-brace,added 1 ball stud washer on the inner link all the way around,and switched from black to brown springs in the front. I have a little more fine tuning to do but its definitley a great option. Gonna try it on a larger track this weekend with a little better traction. I may try one in stock sc and truck as well.

has anyone tried the ceramic thrust bearing from casper? I like the fact that it is caged, but unsure if that will negatively impact performance.
