you will notice that 1/4-1/2 oz near the reciever and 1oz in front of the servo and 1/4 in each rear triangle and 1/2 oz under the rear tower are pretty common.

I agree. I had the JC ones and stripped them. Good thing is JC has been good about replacing them.

If I were to get hexes again I'd prob go w/ the Avid set, but like I said before there's nothing wrong w/ the JCs. I just looked at my replacement set in the pack and it looks like there's plenty of thread catching the hex now.

Edit: I just checked the hexes on my B4 and B44. They've definitely revised the hexes to come with longer screws. The ones on my B44 are the same length as my replacement set, and the ones on my B4 have the older shorter screws.

The AVID Hexes are really beefy and have slightly longer screws than the Proline/JC Hexes...the wheels also fit more snugly on the AVID Hexes...

Your local tire center. Talk to one of the techs. Your local autoparts store may have them as well.

p.s. That's assuming your LHS doesn't have them.

lol, I went to my local autoparts store yesterday looking for some. They had them all right. But it was $35 for a brick of them. I was like that would last me a life time and passed, lol. But yeah, they have them.

hey guys, im happy to be back on this thread!!! nothing is as gratifying as wheeling a mod buggy around a track so i just picked up a (new to me) b4.1 factory team car....taking a look at the current setups, i have noticed a couple changes since i ran my last one: 1oz up front? i am guessing this is to counter some of the shifted weight of a shorty pack?

Rear pivot block? as in toe block that sits behind your battery?
If so I am running a 3.5 sometimes I go to a 3.0

The c-towers are nice to have. Gotta give them a try and see how you like them. Most people that run the C-tower also shave the U-brace.
If you do not know what that is. look back a few pages and it was talked about a few times.
