I agree, absolutely love the way our V2 shock looks with the Losi/Kyosho BB springs.

Yoko BBs are pretty much the best out there along with Kyo's.

Cant tell you how much better I find these, I actually put these on my B4.1 before I sold it, and it took the harshness out of landings an incredible amount. If you can get your hands on them, (if you can handle the blue bling) then you will certainly be doing yourself a favour.

Here was mine

hey guys, quick question.

i know from searching the thread that several of you guys have tried / build buggys with the full length t4 chassis, if im not mistaken is +15 over standard b4. im ordering a new worlds kit here in the next day or so to get back into 1/10th and i know it comes with the +8 chassis and bulldog. i run indoor hard packed clay that is usually high grip and local ace kody nuemendahl ran the same basic set up at reedy for comparison, i am looking for a car that has a ton of rear grip and is very stable. the last time a drove 1/10th was with the original ft4.1 buggy about 2 years ago. the new worlds kit looks like it is much more ''locked in'' for lack of better terms already and and im torn between running the standard +8 or full t4 chassis. what have you noticed between the two. thanks in advance for the help

just go with the +8 not many people have experimented yet with the t4.1 chassis I would say run the plus 8 get you self a pair of losi BB springs (silver in front yellow in rear) and you should be good to go.

Here's my finished Losi BB conversion. Looking forward to the weekend and shaking it down at Bumps. Hoping I can drive it as well as it looks...lol. Has anyone had any concerns with the rear springs rubbing the turnbuckles?

I had the RCRD +12 chassis on mine when I bought it. I run on a small, highly technical indoor track that I would consider to medium to high bite. The car was very stable but it felt a bit like trying to manuever an aircraft carrier. I tried the inline front axles but they tend to make it a bit darty when jumping. I am tempted to try it again, though.

The AE silver ball stud washers are the right ones.
