Out dated? To what? Every buggy out there is a copy of an AE since the late 80's. I dont see any other manufacturer having a buggy platform that has been so successful.. Lossi, mid mount motor. New idea? yes.. Does anyone use it no.. Durango? New, nimble? yes. Capable Sure. But is it ALWAYS at the front? NO..Tamiya! Who?
AE has a record that the other manufacturers dream about.. Sure, they make stuff just as good, if you need to have the latest design and what is the buzz, get something that just was released..You will still be lapped..

I drilled and tapped a small hole(4-40 i believe) in the bottom of my aluminum rear hubs and threaded in a set screw, it pushes up in the center against the hinge pin and takes all the slop out of that area so the pin rotates in the A arms only, not in the aluminum hub. I used to shim everything in my buggy but nowadays not so much..i made a tool with an old shock assembly tool(for V1 shocks) to hold the little plastic washers so i could sand them to any thickness i wanted. Works great for arms, hubs, etc..Basically just the shock tool clipped then sanded down at the tip, it has the same outer diameter as the small washers inner diameter..

so now that the Avid steering rack has been out for a bit, what's the overall consensus of it? I have it, and I'm racing club tmrw and a point series sunday, but I haven't put it on yet. just wanted to see what people thought.

The ReVtech is a great blinky motor. If boost is allowed I would go with a D3. D3's have proven themselves time and time again for us with boost. They will take a lot, I mean a lot of boost and live to tell about it. The ReVtech will take boost (not as much as a D3)but it comes with a price in heat. So pick your poison and good luck.
I do wish I went with a D3, but wanted the Revtech just in case I needed to run blinky while traveling.

Not dissing ae or the b4.1
Just seems like we're due for a new upgrade
I'm new to 2wd buggy and don't want to spend a load of cash and have it be old news in a month you know..
Anyone have pics of a mmp in their b4/b4.1?
How would a tekin 8.5 and mmp run one of these
FT kit or worlds kit? I don't doubt it's potential. The fastest cars at my local track are 4x4 sc and the b4.1 guys
