kit setup is always a good place to start,ask others where you are racing

If you run the standard chasis put this setup on your car:

If you run the +8, run this setup:

There was some talk about the +8 chassis a few posts ago, Whats everyones take on it for tight, indoor smooth tracks. I would think a longer car would be harder to whip around the turns?

no its not,works just fine

Just got my Worlds kit completed and up and running. Switching over from a 22 that has been working really well for me. Made the jump because everytime I drove my buddies B4 I liked it more than my 22

I will be doing some testing tomorrow on it.

Tekin RS for esc, and motor really depends on what class your running. I personally run a 10.5t and with a little timing, my car is easily just as fast as the guys running 8.5s at my local track. Really comes down to preference of what your trying to do.



On a side note, today was my local tracks point series race, and I raced yesterday too. For the last half of yesterday and the first half of today, I had to switch back to the normal spring set-up, except I was using Kyosho Yellows in the front, and then the rest of the day the Losi BB springs(i had snapped 2 front shocks, and had to borrow from my dads ride because the track shop didnt have them, until my dad was able to take a ride to the actual hobby shop mid-race day.) i CANT decide, my fastest lap was with the kyoshos by 4 tenths of a sec versus the BB springs. However the track was freshly sprayed and the car was basically glued. I need to do some more testing, I don't dislike the BBs but I am trying to find what handles the best. The kyosho yellows were pretty nice though.

just bought a whole new diff, rebuilt it 4 times and i feel the balls moving against the rings, i greased it a lot on each side of the rings and the main gear, it feels like the balls need to wear in?

Its not even gritty just catches each ball kinda.. Weird i usually built mint diffs which last a long time.

Sure am digging the Kyosho springs and the Ghea collars...

someone that has the gold turnbuckle will you help me. i used 8 9v and the wire wasnt touiching the liquid. positive in simple green and negative on turnbuckle. and it didnt do anything.
any ideas?

simple green? All you need is a can of coke. same set up grounded in the coke hook up the turnbuckle dip it in and bamm.




kinda hard to see but they are really gold

Lookin good Bill!

The negative needs to be in the solution and positive on the turnbuckle, then you should be good.

First day driving my B4.1WC and I am 2 seconds faster than what I was with my 22. I have had 3 buggies in the last couple of months. I started with the Durango DEX210 this buggy felt really good my lap times were low 24's - high 23's, the stock body is nice, what I disliked about the car was part availability and the car in not the easiest to work on if pressed for time. I sold it because I was curious about the 22. I spent the last 3 weeks driving the Losi 22, lap times were high 24's - low 25's I tried a bunch of setups, could never get the the car to be stable and smooth like the Durango. I sold the buggy this week. Today I was able to get into the low 22's-23's with my B4.1WC, I never came close to that in either the Losi or Durango. The transponder and times don't lie. B4.1WC hands down a faster car.
This is for everyone not sure on which car to buy.
The fast stock guys that pretty much sleep at the track times average 21.8's. Do yourself a favor and get the B4.1WC. I hope this was helpful for those not so sure or curious.

Hey guys I recently acquired a B4.1 and added a couple things to make it more race worthy like a futaba 4pl transmitter/receiver and s3305 servo, aluminum bulkhead, 8mm chassis and jconcept bar codes w/ groovies up front. I'm trying to figure out which modifications are most beneficial on the race track. I want to buy FT parts but they are ridiculously priced, are there any other options out there ? I want to get:

ball diff
better shocks
aluminum caster blocks

Thanks for any help.
