So decided that since I was running the Losi BB springs and such lets go all out 22 style. HA. Took a T4 chassis and cut it down to a narrower version. With center carbon bracing. Its cut to a +10 mm over stock. Added a esc shelf that doubles as a battery hold down and there you have it. A 22 Bulldog body fits it perfect too.

Been raining for a couple weeks here so havent got to try the thing out at track yet. O well. At least if it sucks, so what I'll put the +8 stocker back on. The track I race on is outdoors, very bumpy and dusty/loam so I dont think it'll suck.

coolest thing i took out of that post was the way you mounted your antenna so it doesn't come out of the body

Looks cool though :P I'm betting it's dialed on a low bite track but I wouldn't take it onto a high bite one with all the flex. Let us know how that bad boy works

So with the way the vectors are mounted on that buggy,it wouldNot have as much grip as if the tires where the other way correct?or do I have it backwards?

You can rotate the tires on the other side for less agressive steering response. The way there mounted now is agressive

Yeah Barry, the track I'm at is no where near High Bite.

Thanks bob!!! I will do that, lap times on a unprepared jconcepts ripps blue. And holeshot

I'm not a fan of running a motor with a lot of cooling vents cause I run outdoors sometimes and dont want the clay n sand to get inside.
The Schuur is coming on strong at our track, WCRC. It comes with the high torque rotor, has great low end and strong pull on top. Check out the Schuur thread for more info.

How do you attach the body? I don't see any place for velcro or are you using the one body post in the back?
Edit: I do see some velcro in the front

yeah, velcro in front and theres some in the back where the 22 body wraps.

Going to try the 22 Finnisher next. It looks sick.

Looks good man! I like the idea of building a esc shelf like the 22, Might have to consider that with my b4.1 worlds...

While ball cups are obviously up for debate, the small RPM front bumper for the B4 should be an AE stock part.. it's beefy as hell and has saved my bacon dozens of times. Offers way better protection, lasts way longer, it's more secure, and it's five bucks. Absolutely recommend it for anybody, even if you're good. Too bad they don't make a motor guard..

The flex on that thing has to be insane! Cool, but it would never work anywhere I run.

I was told Rips were the most aggressive of all the ribbed fronts. Keep that in mind.. If the track grooves up a lot, try a treaded front like a scrub. Have a set of Flipouts ready for morning (or night) when moisture is up.

You also will benefit by having a set of tires, like M3 holeshots, with std foam. They will be softer and give you more bite. Just remember, when the bite comes up, they could make your lap times slower because you will 'bind' in the turns. That's when you switch to the closed cell. I'm also gonna assume that 8th scales are gonna blow that track out so you may have to run those goosebumps LOL
