Ran my new B4.2 FT for the first time Saturday in the opening round of my local track's "SUPER 7 POINTS SERIES" and finished second. Setup was pretty close to the Steve Hartson Motorama setup on the AE website. Love my B4.2 so far.

I got setup help from a local guy, who runs the 3.5 in his. So I changed it.
I wanted to see if some front toe out would help. I guess I went the wrong way. Oops. So should I go back to 0* front toe then? |
yeah, Javier told me he didnt show till saturday. I dont know why he came at all if he was going to put in no effort. I am pulling for Hartson and Maifield in the worlds. I like Maifield's paint job better than Cav's anyway, lol.

Yeah, when I ran the 1.6's I ran either 32.5/30 or 30/27.5
|
what will the longer link in the rear do again?
|
What will switching to 0 degrees front camber do?
How about 0 rear? |
It's all about contact patch and traction. which in turn depends on your roll center and camber gain settings.

One of the kcar's went back to rear motor today...:rolleyes:
they say mid is where its at and keep switching back to rear. |
They say the X car was built for US dirt track mid motor. There are a few locals that swear by the X cars, but everyone that tried Mid motor durango, Losi, K car or anything besides X car, hated it. I think one guy ran the Shumacher Mid and said it was ok. But in general, RM for the US is best. It seems motors run much hotter in a MM config also, because the body reduces motor airflow. You can always ventilate the body though.

XFactory seemed to do well enough with the mid motor setup to win a National title with it ... ;)
When did they win a national? |
The cars with the option of mid motor versus rear motor from what I have seen definitely needed a more high traction surface to get the most out of them which looking at what WC runs on compared to what I run on during the summer, its interesting that they are switching back.
But maybe that is where xfactory has it right, a design that is designed from the ground up as pure mid motor versus one that converts from one to the other.

Overseas no USA, sorry if I gave that impression. A good reflection on AE as for all the platforms out there, they previous squared buggy used the B4 as a base. |

I'll say this: thy do mid motor like no one else... Period! They have it figured out. That car in mid has a ton of grip and steering. It has absolutely everything to do with the fact it's not a convertible car. |
