Good info bob...
as with the chub.. its a different feel most seem to like it more on a polished indoor tracks..
As for the tapping and set screw in the hubs.. it good idea just be careful u get the striaght.. if not ot will bind..
Alum front bulkhead again some like some dont like bob said cuts down on wear but also has a different feel.. its up to u... Thats why it seems the b4.1 works for anyone.. just put really the standard setup and work off of that for personal needs and feel...

Get another U brace and leave it std. Shave the other one down. This way when you go from C hub Tower to A hub Tower, you can just switch U Braces and not have to worry about adding washes and then breaking a ball stud.
Some guys are cutting the wing mount nipples off and then tapping them so you can screw the wing onto the wing mount. I like this myself but haven't done it yet.
drill and tap the rear alum hubs and then put a grub screw against the hinge pin.
I also got the alum bulkhead just because I was tired of the plastic ones wearing out in 1 run. Yes I know the arm will slop out, but at least now it's only the arm and not the arm and the bulkhead LOL.
I also glued my servo saver. Just a drop and let it dry. That way in case of a big hit, the glue will break (hopefully LOL).
Other than that, I think you nailed all the stuff you wanna get.
