when it comes to diffs as i build them, i only tighten them enough that the diff dont slip while holding the outdrives with a hex driver in each slot and use a cloth and try to turn the diff gear. if it turn any i tighten it 1/16 of a turn and repeat until the gear doesnt budge then i install it in the tranny. start the break in process of 20 sec a wheel at 1/4 throttle while holding the other, then repeat it to the other wheel. i check the diff to see if it has loosened any and tighten 1/16 of a turn then i repeat these steps 2 more times after that you will have a smooth diff that should last a while if u used high quality balls and rings such as bfast or even the ae ceramic or carbide balls, they last even longer if u use ceramic thrust also. i hope this help my friend

I keep debating about switching to bb springs. Its pretty inexpensive I guess. I was kinda waiting to see if the AE BB shocks released. Is there a noticable gain with the BB losi spring on the B4?
And from what I have read I need.
1- Traxxas upper colars
2- Losi Lower retainers
3- Losi lower shock ends
4- Losi Springs (red/yellow etc)

If this has been covered I apologize.
Are any of you guys running the BB conversion seeing binding with the shock collars and front shock tower? I am running AVID 12mm springs on V2 bodies with the Traxxas uppers and lowers (I am able to get 24mm on both ends FWIW) and the collars are against the shock towers. I had thought about grinding out just a little material but do not want to affect the strength of the tower.

Looks like your are running the long shock bushing up front. My B4.1 is running short on both front and back. Does running the long affect performance any?

The Worlds kit comes with long shock bushings for the front, I didn't see any difference in long vs short, but the track I race on is pretty inconsistent.
