If you can't tell your servo is slower than your reaction on your radio you don't need to replace it.

after using .07s servos and .11s servos, i cant feel very much difference in the speed - the accompanying torque that comes with the slightly slower servo i can feel on high bite tracks....

so for me id take a slightly slower servo with 40oz more torque vs a faster servo with less...

i also think the largest upgrade you can do is to a digital servo, they seem to center alot better, and have stronger holding power...

i really love the ace/xp digital servos the 1313 is a really nice servo with ~180ozin torque and .13s speed for $75 brand new -- can be found on the forsale section for 35-40 normally

in genral ur like said ur shock say 30wt with 2 hole will never be like my 3owt 2 hole shock.. 1 just bye how you build them, like how much bind or rub in your piston and shock body, or how much blow bye there is,or if u did have a tight piston and u fitted it are the edges round or square, is your piston shimmed so theres no wobble, how worn are ur shockshafts, ect, ect, ect... In any setup or question it just goes bye genral theroy really... youknow what i mean...
shoot i wouldlove to have the same feel as cav,tebo,or mayfeild in my shocks but who know reallylike was said dont know what u may stumble on if u dont try...


But in my eyes.. wouldnt you want the smoothes, free flowing, no bind but not too much play shock? kinda like a arm u def want it to be free..the whole point in the sus system is for it too take the impact of the bumps an surface not have a factor beside the wt oil or size hole..? right?

My fave servos of all time are Airtronics 94257's (.06 transit). I have a pair of Savox 257's... but prefer the Airtronics in buggy or truck (offroad). I like fast responsive servos so i can make quick changes in chassis attitude, both through corners and in the air.

Has anyone ever used rudebits or any other wieghts that compensate for the lack of weight with the lipo batteries in the b4.1? I currently use the rear ballast and some lead weights in the front. Just wanted to get some insight in how the car handles and such.

Or, is it really worth the extra dough, and something you'll get used to quickly?
Savox 1258TG, I have 4 Savox. very good servo for the price.

Front
SC10RS steering blocks #9880
B4 hex axles #7496
HEX adapters #3973 ( only fit the front) You can also use 9497 which is AE's front/rear hex package
Ball stud locking nuts for the blocks. #4449. SC10RS and SC10 ones are different


Rear
Hex-JConcepts Rear Hex Adaptor 12mm B4.1/B44.1 Blue #2091

That is a good point. I never thought about it that way.
I know I can feel a difference coming from a faster Servo to a slower servo.

Has anyone tried Schmacher BB springs on their B4/4.1 ? Do they fit Associated shock bodies ?

Just out of interest, with the Worlds kit coming out soon, how many people would like to see the kit come with a "spec" and "mod" sized spur gear ? With blinky 17.5 class becoming the norm (and 540 "silver can" class down here), people have to attack their motor plates with a dremel to make the big pinion/small spur combos fit.

It would be nice to see an option for a different sized spur gear in the kit (they're cheap), instead of having to purchase it separately (or perhaps a motor plate with bigger mounting holes).

Default setup bump steer

on some of the setup sheets, the racers have 2mm spacer listed on bump steer.
is this bump-steer location the place where the turnbuckle connects that control toe-in? or?
