I'm running the B44 stock rear hubs (0*) with the regular U-brace and the car works great.

Is the B4 coming with metric screws? What about B4.1?

Also, what are the bearing differences(part of cars...not exact bearing numbers)?

Thanks. "

imperial


Are both cars imperial? I thought the B4.1 was metric...

standard/imperial on both

Most AE drivers were running Kyosho, Losi, or testing other BB springs, and some are still running stock AE springs. I did not see any BB shocks on any AE cars. Check out Ty Tessmann's B4

I have some rear wheels from a Kyosho I had that have the 12mm Hex. I want to be able to use them on my FT B4.1. I went to my LHS today and they sold me the Pro-Line 12mm hex.

I just noticed though that they are the "front" PRO6076-00 ones.

Will these still work on the rear ? Whats the difference?

If you have your drag brake set pretty high you might still feel the effect somewhat. 30° caster blocks give you more corner entry steering. And then there's always the old standby of adding a bit more weight up front.

nice job with all the pics

I am thinking no, proline and jc both list different pn's for front and rear I am assuming there is a reason for this

the front and rear for AE cars are different thicknesses. Do a search for the JC or Proline parts for front and rear and look at the thickness of the hex. The rear should be thicker than the front by a considerable amount

No, I have the drag brake set pretty low on my tekin rs, set at I think 8, out of 100. My steering is fine, almost too much. What I am looking for is just a litttttttle more rear end traction, but not too much where I get traction roll issues. I just don't know what else to change to get that tad bit more rear end traction on corner entry. I am willing to lose just a little bit of steering for it, but prefer not. If not im out of ideas, the car is driveable, but I am also about to go from a 10.5t to an 8.5t so I don't know what handling issues I'll see then.

I was under the impression that when cornering, adding limiters takes traction out of that end of the car because when the chassis rolls, eventually the outer shock will hit the limiters,stop extending, and try to lift the tire.... similarly to a sway bar's effect but less progressive.

Great pics. Anyone know what gold counter sunk washers he's running? I like that it's not blue.

They look like the Dynamite ones, but they could be from someone else as well.

Could be Ultimate Racing as well: UR1501-G

Dynamite, probably...but why is he using buttonhead screws on countersunk washers?

Is there a benifit to the washers other then looks?
