I know its the 1st 3 I have ever broken. I don't really get it, its been months since I broke an arm. Now 3 hubs in 6+/- weeks.

It's not a bad batch either. 1st one started on a b4.0 ft (I understand this one), 2nd was a brand new 20* 3 hole, 3rd was a brand new 30* 2hole. Just looking for a way to solve the problem, besides not wrecking which is an impossability for me, but I'm working on it.

Your B4 has a belt?

He was referring to what the ad on A Main Hobbies said about the VTS slipper.. I dont know what they are talking about though because almost none of associated cars have belts.

no, if you look at this set up sheet (along with many others)

the guys use VTS slippers on cars/trucks other than belt drive cars

I've been running the belt conversion on my b4 for almost a month now. I have to say it is superior in every way. I went from a 19 to a 21 lap pace. It's dialed.

belt?

More like sarcasm LOL

As far as caster blocks breaking with the new locking wheel hexes the caster block is now the weak link. Put an aluminum one on and it will be the arm that snaps. Something has to give in an impact. I used to break them all the time. Now I hit stuff a little less often

The other thing that can break the caster block is a lack of servo saver. Did you recently upgrade to a solid set of bellcranks? Some track designs will be more prone to it as well.

So after another really encouraging day at the track im going to go and mess it up. I plan on running blinky when i finally do get around to racing and running the full size packs my car was weighing in at 1620 with no extra weight! Decided to sell those and just get a shorty. Hopefully it is as easy to dial in light as it is heavy.

Yeah and you asked about the "updated rear outer belt cover". Obviously this has nothing to do with a B4, so why did you even ask about it?

When I switched to shorty I didnt have to change much. I just ran the shorty even with the end of the U-brace and it was pretty good.

because when i clicked on the AMAIN link that was posted, there was a note at the end of the description that talked about the rear outer belt cover... i quoted it below and also put a link to the link that was previously posted by another user.

"NOTE: The updated rear outer belt cover will be needed in order to properly fit the VTS Slipper assembly."

I'm running my shorty pack anywhere from full forward to 40mm back depending on the track conditions. You might need to drop your oils 2.5 wt.

Wait...you guys aren't running the Hyperdrive belt conversion yet?

lol. They are probably referring to the SC10 4x4 belt cover when you drop in the VTS setup.
