Hey guys,
I just bought a used B4.2. It's the first buggy I've owned since the black aluminum chassis RC10 I bought in 1991. :eek: Anyway I wanted to verify that the hubs towers that are installed are the C hubs. They look like the C hubs, but they have a little 3 pronged flash on the outside edge. When I received the buggy the U brace was shaved. There was one 1mm spacer under the inner ball link and the link was attached to the innermost hole on the hub tower. I don't think I've seen anyone running that setup. Thanks, Chris http://www.amainhobbies.com/images/l...ci/jci2165.jpg |
You're right. It looks like the JC C tower.
I haven't seen anyone running the C tower with the short camber link though.

I run mine middle on the hub and inside on the tower. thats pretty standard.

Well I got 1 of my 2 4.2's built today, combined in both kits I had 1 unthreaded rear axle, I was short 1 thrust washer for the ball diff and I was missing one of the bags with the plastic nuts to hold the shocks on and the lower shock bolts. I called AE and they are sending them to me, hopefully soon! Just in case I ordered some extras for the parts box.
I watched a few vids on youtube about building and setting up ball diffs and I think it went pretty well for my first time, I plan on running it a bit tomorrow to see! |
RPM VS. TORQUE ?
I have a question that I cant seem to find an answer to. What motor is better for 17.5 blinky mode buggy high rpm or more torque?
If there is a thread for this please direct me to it thanks. |

I like the Reedy Mach 2 motors, pretty smooth and the new endbell is nice.

yeah, I like the reedy motors. Their power delivery is smooth. And the seem to run pretty cool.

Nice! Did you paint them yourself?
Going to eventually do both and probably rotate by year with minor tweaks to each he's got some T4.2 bodies in line for me at the moment. |
