Third person humor always makes me laugh.

Just put the battery in the middle and wheel it. The more you guys focus on what Pro drivers do, the less youre aware of your own ability. Use their setups and ideas as an initial guideline... you gotta figure out what works best for you...

interesting...... is there a reason you use the High Tourque one over the traditional one?

I run my slipper very tight and I do not like it to slip.

I also use them on the SC10 4x4 so I buy them in bulk,

when I used the others ones I was only getting 2 race days out of them. The High Torque ones I can get almost 6 race days out of than I just flip them over

I got a bunch of laps in this week on my new B4.1. I'm running a Novak 13.5 and that seems dandy for the track I'm on in terms of speed and punch.

Question: On jumps, I'm having to blip the throttle hard everytime mid jump to keep the nose up. Obviously a little weight in the tail is going to be needed.

I imagine its been addressed in this thread, but I was not able to find it. Is there a "normal" amount of lead that most guys mount in their chasis? If so, where do you locate it?

thanks,

What's the advantage of running big bore shocks or big bore springs on standard shocks on these lighter buggies? I see a lot of talk about doing it, but what are the actual benefits? I run standard Kyosho velvet shocks on my b4.1 and have had great results. I feel the Kyosho's are more consistent and overall a better shock on my car. The car feels more planted and forgiving, they soak up the bumps and jumps better, and they don't leak near as bad as the v2 shocks. I also like the way you bleed the Kyosho's over the v2's. I'm not trying to start a war on who's shocks are better, I just wanted to know if I'm missing out on something. Thanks

I can't comment on the shocks but the springs are nice for us because they don't bind on the shock body. They also feel more consistant, and I feel more stable.

I think that you will find 90% of the people mentioning Big Bores are referring to the springs alone and not the entire shock.

Gotcha, I'm not having rubbing issues on the Kyoshos if I run their springs, if I run associated springs on them they do rub slightly. I found the best combo is the Kyosho velvet shock and springs with associated lower eyelets and offset cups. Maybe I'll dig out my v2's, order the Ghea collars and give the big bore springs a try then. Thanks

no problem, my signature has the link for the parts you need to do the Losi BB conversion for your V2's.

Spell check This happened to me the first time I tried to spell RPM.

A common mistake is to run the slipper tight .


You are giving up traction . Also can experience more wheel spin when accelerating and when ever you are going into the corner ?
Too much steering , makes it difficult not to bump or saw off the corner to tight ..


Try to loosen and adjust so your ft end only rises a couple inch's...


You should experience fewer mistakes and go even faster...


BTW Try again the standard pads as the heavy duty pad is way to much for the B4 and would only make it difficult to achieve the correct slip...

You're right on the second part, but you have so many battery placement options with a shorty pack it'd be stupid not to explore them.
Ghea is not a typo, they make the TLR big bore preload collars.

Thats a weird coincidence then because the first time, a few pages back, I tried typing RPM on my phone and it changed it to ghea
