Picking mine up in the morning. Body all painted, tires glued. Should have it built for racing tomorrow night. Can't wait!!

let us know how well the new tower work.

Huzzah! Just got a call from my LHS, my buggy will be ready for pick-up tomorrow!

meh, blew up another set of bearing in the rear hubs. The avids did last longer though. I am seriously thinking about going to the plastic hubs. I just dont want my shocks to rub my links. Anyone running the plastic b44 hubs with lunsfords? How bad is the rubbing?

I run plastic b44 hubs on my b4. I run a thick plastic washer, I think .090, and no spacer up top with a shaved tower. Doesn't rub much at all. I see some, but it's due to b44 rear arm flexing.

Something is wrong. I have not blown a rear bearing in 2 years

Maybe. It is mostly the left hub

If you run 0 degree then I would say to just try the plastic and see what happens

Yeah. I plan to

Josh at DBRC i know ur on here....u get them in yet?

TQ 10 right?

Should have my B4.2's on Tuesday. My kid said Viper and I wanted to get him a Reedy, said screw it and got him what his heart desired. Told him we can drag down our driveway and see who wins! I'll post video next week if we actually get around to it.

still have a crush tube between the bearings? is it the same length as the right one? The transmission uses one also.. make sure you didn't mix em up if they're different lengths. Could also use a shim or two to make the crush tube seem longer to take pressure off the bearings. They're side loading and blowing out prematurely..I've never had one go bad

Does anyone have the part numbers for the new big bore shock towers or any idea on when they will be released?

crush tubes wear out

busted bearings can be caused by a worn out tube


downey ,
believe towers will be same part # and treated just as a running change
