There was a guy selling some nice ceramic balls on the thread for a cheap price, they work very well.

been using the same set of Ae ceramics for 6 months now , have worn out 5 sets of outdrives with and they still perform like new .


I replace the steel thrust balls rarely , they do not wear much at all .
No way the ceramic 5/64th is any smoother if the steel thrust is in good condition.

so with this kit will the this use the same wheels the b44.2 currently uses? cuz that would save me money on wheels and tires

Rear wheels are shared between the b4.2 and b44.2, fronts are vehicle specific.

All I need is ordered for my B4.2, just have to wait for the summer.... :(

GizmoTLR 01-21-2013 05:18 PM

so the ASC9691 (12mm hex) would go on the front B4.2 and the ASC9768 would go on the front B44.2? Just want to make sure.

Correct, the one that says b4 goes on the b4 and the one that says b44 goes on the b44.

gonna say sorry now about the spelling..lol

MANY MANY MANY racer and especially newer racer over look ur radio SETUP also is it a diff speedo an motor/gearing/battery/all different weight there alone what about servo brands and spec. i would start fresh..
100left/100right EPA
100 DUALRATE
Check steering an throttle reversing
steering trim in the middle
throttle trim in the middle
subtrim for throttle and steering @ 0
Steering Expo/arc/speed @o%
Throttle Expo/arc/Speed @0%

1) measure front steering link so there the exact same size/same as camber links
2)Make it so the include servo horn with the Blue washer that goes over it is used and now since everything is perfectly striaght as possible except the instruction ask for u to have 1 or 2 spines to to driver side of the car.. now tighten up the servo, servo horn, an mount to chassis
3) Asumming u have the link made up the right size that goes from the servo horn to the bellcrank. ( Prob gonna have to had 2 click to the right on the steering sub trim to make it now that the horn is striaght. (NOT THE QUICK TRIM BUTTON U HAVE IF ITS PULLING TO ONE SIDE)
4)put on a pair of unmounted front rims since u already know that left an right toe links an left an right camber links are the same size it will be equal turns.. measure the front of the cars inner distance from rim to rim ( urnumber u measure from the front of the rim will be bigger the the rear and that will give u a slight toe out)
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD if u make ur steering rods length from center of ballcup to center of ball and u come to 2.8870in or 73.5mm should give u around neg -.5 toeout on each side and if ur camber links measurein around2.6810in or 68.10mm and that will get u close to neg -5 camber.
5) Now get car ready to be if u were going out on the track. Set your rideheight, cambers
6) do the 1 touch on ur speedo an radio system.
7)turn the wheel max to the right while in the air subtract epa just to it stops hitting arm
8)turn the wheel to the left while in the air or on a car stand and stop the throw just like the right.. NOW REMEMBER U WILL NEVER HAVE A PERFECTepa left to right but wanna be with it 10 points
9) Drop car bout kneww high so sus settle an see if u can or have to take or add epa if u can gain more or if ur binding still
10) do the HAlf moon test so u can see if ur car turns even on both side and adjust for it... normally 3/4 lane radius..
11) now if you need to add or subbtract steering increase or decrease ur dualrate

10-4, going to start and go through the above setups. thanks.
