Thats too bad, big disappointment. not sure why they could not have changed the geometry of the rear tower slightly to avoid this.

Most like the clean look and run through tower.

I like to run them on the outside of the tower and then zip tie them to the tower. This way if you need to change the tower you don't need a soldering iron. I do run the sensor wire through the tower

No issues with my 4.2.

I do have to say that aluminum shock mounts on aluminum shock caps is unbelievably stupid. I put the old school plastic shocks mounts on.

And IMO, hexes on a buggy is silly. I put the old school stuff on.

My wife is the same! She's to blame for ATLEAST half of my addiction. Most recently she got me 2 servos and 2 rx's for valentines day.

For those with shock caps not fitting over the bushing....has anyone measured the parts to see where the difference is????

no offense but most of the people on the previous page need some grammar classes

For the guys complaining about the rear camber link rubbing on the shock are you guys running a spacer on the lower shock rod and are you guys using the shorter ball stud on the hub side?
Im currently running no spacing on the tower just some dremel work like the .2 tower has molded in, 2mm on the arm to space the shock out and the shorter ball stud on my hub and dont believe i am experiencing any rubbing issues even with the b44 arms that flex more. Theres a reasonable amount of clearance between the spring on my big bores and the camber link.

I talked to some guys last night that ran the reedy race. they said cav just mounted it to the strap.

IMHO I think hexes are a good thing. I've seen guys strip out the pin style rear rims, hexes eliminate that possibility.

I dremeled my towers and use .09 on the bottom and I had a tiny little bit of rubbing with the b4.1 rear arms and lunsford turnbuckles (they are thicker). The b44 rear arms are stiffer right? So maybe no rubbing if I got those.
