I agree it's a "huge" amount...(maybe we are on the same page, maybe not) That's why I am having a really hard time believing the people that are saying their arms are twisting/flexing that much. I mean, the front arms have the same, maybe even less clearance...and IMO, the front arms have the capabilities of flexing even more...but nobodies complaining about that?

IDK, like I said, I'm running with it. If for some reason it becomes an issue...I'll move the shock tower forward, and space the shock away from the arm. That seems to be the most logical solution i've come across so far.

But as of yet, I personally, am having no issues. Too each their own.

The Big Bores are nice but since you are not racing, and just running up and down the street. I say they would be a waste of money. Since I am sure you will buy them anyway They do not come with any springs stock. I would say if running in the street to pick up both the Medium kits for front and rear. If you will be moving onto the track go for the Soft kits front and rear.

I run A Hubs here in AZ, but yeah. There are new red hubs out that have a lower C position.

The ones that have the same measurements as the C hubs are nice. You can then just add washers to get them up to the A level

The confusing part is, where is says you can add the provided spacers to be the same as the C height. That implies the hub is actually lower than the C unless you add spacers. But I know things are lost in translation sometimes from japan/china.

"It has same position with Team Associated C-Type REAR HUB CARRIER when using included spacers 2pcs for each side."

All this talk about turn buckle rubbing on the shock. Mine rubs and I built it to exact kit setup. I honestly don't see how it couldn't rub unless you run longest wheelbase.

Somebody should snap a pic if you have built it with middle wheelbase and you claim it does not rub. I would like to see what is different with your car vs my car.

What is a good Futaba servo to use for the B4 or for 1/10th off-road in general. I have always used the XP DS1015 servos and never bothered to experiment with anything else.

If you use 2 x .030 spacers on the bottom
shock eyelet it will not rub .
