All the additional grub screws in the hubs and arm mounts are redundant. Clearly a design choice to reduce slop rather than something that is actually needed to hold the car together. Plenty of scope...

I've built two B7s now and although I think your observations about dimensions in the gearbox area are true, I also think that with careful assembly you get a very free transmission and the correct...

Bumpsteer is wrong with kit setting and this will fix it so not surprised that gives you more steering.

I'd recommend settling on either the Associated or Core springs all round, it will make it...

It's been interesting reading Facebook comments about the car. Dirt racers seem really happy and are surprised by how stable it is.

Carpet racers seems to be split between people who think it is...

OK so it turns out I was miles off here.

You've piqued my curiosity. I think it can be reverse engineered by using the ESC data logging and a stand alone motor checker to compare KV. I have a feeling it is a lot less than 64 degrees...

Hopefully a glitch in the system, or indication that dealers have taken all the available B7s from the first...

It's a brother to the Mad Wagon which I was tempted by as a basher when it came out (personally I think the Mad Wagon body is great) but it had quite a few bad reviews at the time. Quite plasticcy...

Likely to be two different moulded hubs, both with further adjustment on the hinge pin insert (similar to the XB2 24 as stated above). So there will be a wider total range of adjustment compared to...

You're the one claiming to be an engineer so I don't think I should have to explain the concept of an "idler gear" to you. Hint - they are not named incorrectly in a buggy gearbox.
