RC10B4.1 FT/WC
I'm going to have to try, on the layout change a month ago i only ran a full pack and it seems fine... i did run a shorty on the last layout but that was much bigger jumps and a faster track, this has many more small and tight jumps and fast tight turns...also the key on a set is to square up as best you can on them on they will throw you car straight up just because of the way they are built..
I drove a buddies car and with a shorty pack it felt very fast, and had a lot of steering but was hard to square up on the jumps...

For me to get the car to "square up" I made sure the ride height, camber, and toe was right on. Made a huge difference with control.

I have always liked the zippy and gens ace batteries...

I would like some opinions on what you guys consider the best body for the B4.1 Worlds. So that would be a +8 body. I have tried the stock Bulldog, and the FTW, but am having trouble getting use to them aesthetically. The Bulldog made by Proline, seems to be a thinner Lexan, and the roofline seems to be higher almost like greenhouse windows, and the wings do not last very long. The FTW was easy to cut, but is already cracking at a few places, and the wing is pretty narrow. The Lexan seems different almost denser but more fragile. I like the Jconcepts wings, they seem thicker and more durable than most others but are pretty wide. Looking at the Finnisher, but want others to chime in. Do the different bodies affect handling. I can't tell the difference between the two I have tried, however I like the look of the FTW on the track. It seems to look lower to the ground and more stable if that make sense.

I think it all comes down to driving style. My buddy has always been an AE guy, but since I tried the 22 he did too. I could never get used to it and went to the B4. Since then, my lap times are faster than when I had the 22, and I am more consistent. Just the other day I ran my single fastest lap on the current layout with the B4. On the other hand my buddy stayed with the 22, is just as fast as I am, and is very happy with the 22. He has no plans on switching. Choose your weapon...
I never could get the 22 tuned right for me. I was constantly chasing the setup and it was miles and miles away lol.
Hopefully the B4 is better!

Sooo, where was the b4 designed....on a napkin? It too was designed on a computer by many extremely capable engineers...and they got it right the first time and have only made minor tweaks throughout the last 8-9 years.

Dosent mean anything. Go with what wins you races or the one you have the most fun with. New tech or High tech is not always the best.
How did you make sure it was right on? I know with my buggy it is difficult to setup because of suspension slop, ie. worn parts. Did you use a setup board? It's important to have a certain degree of slop.
