RC10B4.1 FT/WC

I bought this kit in about 2003 i'd say, gotta say, it holds up well!
The car had been collecting dust for many years, never even tracked it, until today.
Got some new tires on it and new lipo/brushless setup, refilled the shocks, re-lubed the diff and off she went, really impressed me. Now I'm excited about using the B4 Team Kit over my 22.
The car turns better, and I think even jumps better than my 22. I will need to put stock motors on both (only the 22 had a mod) and try them again, side by side.
Thinking of some mods.. already have modern lipo/brushless and the right tires. What is worth upgrading that really makes a difference? It's the original RC10B4 Team Kit.

Also, if you have a lot of losi 22 wheels, you can convert the b4 to hex. you will need the avid hexes and the sc10rs front hubs and a different front axle. If you really need me to I can goto amain hobbies and look up the part numbers for you :-) I have not had my caffeine yet and I am a bit on the lazy side.

cool, I have not put mine on yet, trying to use up my stock rims atm. I plan to switch to hex, so much easier for tire swapping. The RS hubs can move forward or back and I believe the angle of the ball stud is different. How does this affect the b4's handling? And +1 to the hole and set screw.

Also, my b4 is a bit older than most. I honestly cant remember what caster hubs I was running 5 years ago. I know most people have switch to 30deg. And i "think" mine are 30, but unsure. Plus they are the old 2 hole style not the 3 hole. Is there any way to tell if mine are 20,25 or 30 deg caster? I really need to get a paint marker and mark this stuff.

So I just picked up a 4.1 World's roller and I'm looking for some ESC suggestions. I'll be running a Revtech 10.5 turn sensored motor. From reading thru the thread, it seems the newer MMP's with the attached fans don't fit too good without mod's being done. And I'm not really in a position to spend RS Pro type money. So I'm looking for some other suggestions on ESC's that I might be able to get in the $100 - 150 range. If I have to go to a RS Pro or a Venom to run the Revtech, I will. Just don't want to shell it out if I don't have to.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

sigh, I highly doubt you will find a better esc for under $200 than the Brushless Hobbies 120 amp esc. I have yet to meet a person that didnt like the smoothness, power and price of the esc. It is only $67 and definitely worth a try.
