You will be fine. The b4.2 basically includes all the upgrades in one box for ya and saves you some money at the same time.

Care to elaborate? In the mean time, I'll sort through the B4.1 thread and look for mentions of this. Thanks

You drill and tap a small hole in the bottom of each of your rear hubs and use the grub screw to lock onto the hinge pin. It takes alot of loose play out of each rear wheel

Sorry should have refreshed before i weighed in

+1 they seem pretty determined to have 2 threads on the same car. Thanks Forester!

Exactly. More than half the people have all the upgrades anyways. Lame.


Just keep tabs on the first post guys.

I was hoping for more with the 4.2

The 4.1 is fast but the part quality is poor (rear hubs, susp. slack, bearings, etc.). I wish Associated would add $100 to the price of the kit (move it to $350) and step up the part quality. I am always in envy of the Losis, Kyoshos, Team-Cs, and Durangos when it comes to well engineered parts. I know these models each have weak areas, but they seem significantly more "substantial" overall.

If the B.4 wasn't so damn fast I'd switch in a second.:) Gonna pass on the 4.2 until my 4.1 is really beat. Unfortunately that won't take long. :(

If I can make another suggestion:) I would say keep the first post all "Factory", move the link to the RC10.com page up there and use the second post for all the "forum" contributed information. That way were are not seeing a mod (like shaved u brace or something) with all the other factory information. Again my opinion.

Aside from all of that, they are exactly the same.....

It's a much shorter list when you just include the stuff that matters. ;)

Do you guys reckon it will have a noticeable performance difference over the 4.1

Stock for stock IMO yes, only because I have basically everything the .2 has (minus towers) and it def. is alot better then when I ran my .1 WC stock........

The Big Bore shocks are a welcome addition. They make the car handle better through the bumps and landings are plush. Other than that it is essentially the same car.

Adding things to the Second post as they come to me...

Welp that isn't all that exciting. I basically have this kit already. I run the avid slipper though. Someone mail me some b4.2 stickers when they get theirs :lol:

Actually depends
