I race on the same type of track the b4.1 do require alot of tuning and you have to tune them to your driving style start out with mafeilds reedy setup it is the one from 2011 when he is running the standard chassis then go from there with losi bb springs and the plus 8 i love my b4.1 just have to know how to tune it to your driving style and track conditions

Yes. The c towers should come with instructions on what to do.

Very new to the rc game. I just recently bought the b4.1 worlds kit and so far loving it. My ? Is what are the reasons to changing to the losi springs? Also is there a way to compare motors that are rated only in kv to ones in turns I know there is a lot of variables just curious if there's a way to get close I'm running a 5800kv out of my sc for the time being. Thanks in advance!!!!

the reasons to covert to the bb springs is so there is no rubbing on the shock bodies and people say the cars lands jumps better and you are able to push it a little harder. I did notice that when I drove my b4.1 with these it did fell better and I would say do the upgrade to the bb springs they are worth the 25 bucks not to mention they look sick

the stock ones rub usually after a little wear. one of the local guys removes the color from them and said it actually helps reduce it. Haven't tried it but take it FWIW.
