I know this is an older thread, but this is where I will probably get the best answers.
I just picked up a used T4.1, got it running with some old radio gear I had, so now it has a Reedy 4900kV brushless and 2S lipo. I am having some severe traction problems.
I have a pair of step pins and some TLR Taper pins with Panther micro ribs for the front, as well as some older Proline step pin rears. I run the truck on a very tight indoor carpet track, and a very hard packed outdoor. I have the gearing set-up that I need for both tracks but indoors the truck will NOT steer under power and outside the back end wont stay under the truck.
I did get the gullwing arms and ordered a front tower to go with them, will my current shocks work with them? Also what changes can I make to get more front traction inside and more rear traction outside? I dont mind changing setups, or even building a second set of shocks. Right now I have green front springs and blue rears, 30wt front and rear.
How do these trucks take to running rear tires in the front?
Is there any website or anything that I can go to/get to help me with tuning myself? I would rather learn how to figure out the changes I need to make than to be told what parts to use.

In addition, I regularly use rear tires on the front of my t4.1, and i made smaller foam pieces to fine-tune my battery position and found that it makes a pretty significant difference where that battery sits.
Hopefully youll get it dialed soon, sounds like a nice setup.

Hex Conversion
Sorry I know this is an old thread. Haven't graduated to the .2 yet. Picked up the following for a T4.1 12mm hex conversion.
-Jconcepts #2170 front axle 12mm hex conversion kit
-Associated #9883 wheel hex adapters (4 total)
-Associated #9880 Steering blocks
-Jconcepts #3354Y 12mm front/rear 12mm hex wheels
A few questions:
1) The #9883 hex adapters are two sizes. Two are a little thicker. Which ones go in the front and back?
2) The hex adapters from Associated seem a tad big for the 12mm wheels. Will they work themselves in or do I very slightly sand down the adapters to fit in the wheels?
3) OR just call it a day and get the aluminum #9892 and #9893 (front and rear)?
Looks like I need 4/40 nuts (#4449) for the steering block to hold in the ball stud? I plan on racing on dirt/indoor clay. Thx

Hey guys,
I got a 4.1 just recently and now want to make it fit again. Unfortunately the CVAs and diff outdrives are worn badly. Can anyone recommend a fitting replacement? The OEM parts seem to be sold out everywhere.

wtcc, do you have a gear diff? For the gear diff outdrives, you can use the newer "5 series" parts.
Yeah, unfortunately parts are getting harder, and harder to come by. Lots of time will be spent scouring the webs for those CV axles. If you do find the T4/SC10 CV axles, you can use "5 series" CVA bones. They are a direct fit...
