Has anyone tried a set of aka's front close cell foam inserts? I want to try a set in some Bar Codes

If you are using the bones, did you also make sure to put an o-ring on each side of the diff and inside the stub axles?

If you didn't do this (which is common) then your dogbones will have too much lateral play and will pop out.

Won my first race today with my b4
was pretty proud but couldnt of done it with out the kindness of the person who let me borrow there radiopost controller because my spektrum took a dump and the spring popped out on the wheel. After using that radio post i may have to look into one when i get the money

No I didn't, I didn't even no they were in there. Could I just pull the orings out of my gear diff ? I'm going to try to upgrade to CVD"s asap.

Another interesting thing I found is that both the diff kits I bought now have the same bearing size(5/32 x 5/16). Maybe AE corrected the problem and changed it to the correct bearing?

The correct oring is a shock oring, not the ones from your gear diff. The internal bearings are the same. The outdrive bearing in the tranny case is different.

Try a set..I tried closed cell for the front and did not like it at all

Ya know, Like I said, I finally started to build this thing...and after 15 minutes I made an executive decision..


I'm selling the b4 FT and gonna buy a new buggy. I'm not going with old technology.


Gonna look at the Losi...but will probably get the Worlds car as that is what all my fellow racers are using and to be honest, after 15 years of racing, I'm getting tired of always bucking the trend, LOL...


I have it up on EBAY as we speak.

I am currently using a set and I like them. They took a little bit to break in. Not sure on the longevity as I've had them in for about 5 races.

How did they make the car feel when you first put them on, compared to the stock inserts?

Does anyone know what kyosho springs are the closest in spring rate to the losi orange and yellow springs?
What kyosho spring are you guys running?

There is a big bore spring chart in here somewhere. As far what people are running...white/pink front and white/gold rear.

I'm running koyosho whites in front and golds in the rear. And love them used to run Losi orange in the front and yellows in the rear and they felt really good but koyoshos even feel better!

Here's a link to the chart. My photobucket album is not loading so.....

Oh there it is!

Awe! Those are the standard Kyosho's! Well, there it is for the guys wondering about the losi vs AE conversion.

Could somebody help me with a setup for tight high bite clay(run slicks for tires) Running the stock worlds setup now and it is pushing incredibly bad. I have the battery all way forward and no ballast in the rear. Also what should these weigh rtr?
