SMC's site always said "pre order," and so did the the 4400 shorties I ordered a couple weeks ago, and I got them with in the week even on back order.

Finally stepping up from my Centro and have a B5M on the way. Just wondering what the difference in handling is between adjusting rear toe with the arm mounts or the hub inserts.

Sweep inserts are pretty nice... Never had an issue with them... Have even run them outdoors and worked awesome!!! I have tried just about everything in every combination... When you are racing next to dakotah phend you tend to try everything cause you get beat down every weekend... Lol

cut the tire along the inside bead, pull out the old foams, put in new foams and reglue the inside bead.

Thanks



Well.........I will be racing around a dirt rc track
By racing I mean no competition just lots of cars racing around a rc track. Not really starting all at the same time if you know what I mean
I have a nanotech 4.2 shorty pack and would like to be able to race the whole time without stopping without over heating the motor, if that is possible

Changing toe in at the brace also alters the wheelbase and diveshaft angle because you are twisting the arms backwards or forward. At the hub you are only changing the toe. Hth

I agree with you there. Performance wise, is there a difference?

Look like aka chain links all around, how do you like the fronts. Currently running pin stripes in clay or super soft depending on track condition.

it depends on what you want. taper down for faster rebound or taper up for faster compression. its not a huge difference on a smooth track but im sure you'd notice it more on a bumpy track.

In 17.5 the gearing is 72 / 32. What would a good starting 13.5 gear be for you guys running super stock.

they're a good front tire pretty balanced all around. good steering but not too aggressive. i've found that the pinstripes can be a little on the aggressive side and the chainlinks kinda smooth out the steering and they're super consistent.

saw them a few weeks ago being tested my mark pavidis and his son at ocrc and they were in stock there a couple weeks later.

If you increase toe inboard you will shorten the wheelbase, so you'll also gain more rear traction from effectively moving weight back. You will lose on power steering though. The opposite is reverse. Changing toe at the hub makes a smaller difference
