New B4.1 owner
So my friend talked me it to getting a new Team Associated RC10B4.1 RTR Brushless buggy. I have never run one of these an was wandering if you guys could recommend some upgrades. So for I know I need to change out the tires and someone told me I may want to switch out the steering servo but did not give any suggestions on witch one. Now keep in mind I a college student I am not rich I am on a budget.

if you race then an aftermarket high speed digital servo would be a great improvement for you and tires are a must. i would recommend an airtronics low profile servo. i run it in my ft b4.1 and t4.1 they are great

Hi
You could always add weight
I have the same buggy and found adding around 50-80grams better for handling
Its cheap - just distribute metal weights to get around 35/65 front/rear weight distribution.Accurate scales help.
I was told these were designed for Nimh batteries which if using lipos would reduce design/running weight around 100grams.
good luck

Hey bro I picked up a B4.1 RTR and it's becoming my favorite vehicle, especially for the track. You can get away with the stock motor/esc for a while. I changed the servo to a futaba 3305 and it works perfectly, you don't need a monstrous torquey servo since their so light, the 3305 works well and 35$ bucks new. I would also reccomend factory team arms in the beginning and eventually v2 shocks and ball diff. It's a capable chassis just takes a lot of tweaking
