I am going to run the Brent Thielke Surf City Classic set up http://teamassociated.com/pdf/cars_a..._Surf_City.pdf on my B4.1 all except for the shocks and need a suitable replacement. The set up states as follows: FT= Kyosho silver springs, #2 pistons, 32.5wt with 4 limiters..... RR= Associated Green Spring, GHEA #3 piston, 27.5 wt oil with 2 limiters. I am going to run Losi springs and no GHEA pistons so what would be a good shock set up? I am running on a Med-high bite wet-moist indoor clay track where soft compound slicks are the tire of choice. Any shock gurus have a good set-up for this?

Just buy the b44 plastic hubs, which are 0 degree, and they have the larger outer bearing. They make b4 plastic hubs too, but they use the smaller bearings for both sides. Changing the inboard toe block to 2.5, while using the stock .5 aluminum hubs will give you 3 degrees of total toe as well, but personally i like the feel of 0 degree hubs and the 3 degree toe block.

Bob,
add or not. the lower cups will not fit over the shaft eyelets from the Traxxas part number. I wanted to test fit them. I am taking off the BB springs from my b4.1 and going to try to fit them on the B44.1
also A Pro local is running Red front springs and Gray rear springs on his b4.1
They said you need to cut down the eyelets .060" and it's best to use 2 limiters to keep stock travel. the springs are a little bigger I guess.
I am getting ready to order 3 sets of each spring in every color in the next few days..
