I run them on all my cars. They have no discernible performance benefit (technically they have lower friction, but it's unlikely anyone could feel a difference), but they do have a distinct longevity benefit. Standard ballstuds get worn by dust/grit while TiNi is so hard that basically nothing you normally encounter wears it. You still need to replace ball cups periodically, but you shouldn't need to replace the stud each time with these. When you swap them, I recommend replacing the ball cup and foam at the same time.

They are pretty nice looking, just like TiNi shock shafts.

Associated... I've never seen an LHS that carries them, so you have to order them.
ASC9795 - Long, 0.2"
ASC9796 - Long, 0.3"
ASC9797 - Long, 0.4"
ASC9798 - Short, 0.2"
ASC9799 - Short, 0.3"

For a B4(.1) you need:
ASC9795 x 1 - Bellcrank. Replaces ASC6276.
ASC9796 x 3 - Front shock tower, steering blocks, and U brace. Replaces ASC6277.
ASC9798 x 2 - Servo horn and steering rack. Replaces ASC3981.
ASC9799 x 2 - Caster blocks and rear hubs. Replaces ASC3983.

I have found that you can use ASC9798 in place of ASC9795 with no ill effects, which saves you a pack of ball studs, but the above are the exact correct replacement parts.

If you're running C towers: You can use ASC9798 instead of ASC9799 on the towers. For some reason ASC9799 seems to be sold out most often, so this is an option for those positions.
If you are not running C towers, or switch back-and-forth: You must use ASC9799.

The caster blocks can also use ASC9798, but ASC9799 is the exact same size as the original.

Wow Eric, Thank you for the detail and the time taken to put this together

I see from your post that you do use the foam pads on the ball studs. I took those of thinking that it just caused more dirt/dust to get caught between them and the cup is this not the case?

With the associated big bore shocks coming out i am hoping someone can sell a big bore spring conversion for the B44.1 or T4.1

I think its going to be a little while before i can convert mine over.

Please message me please if you have some for sale.

Hey guys just wondering what a good starting point would be for the avid springs. Front is batch 2 and rear is batch 1. Track is tight, high traction.
I figured I would start with the ones closest to stock to start but thought some of you might have it dialed already.
Thanks.

I am sure they will, but we wont know for sure until get them. Side note, I saw a guy at the track with Losi BB shocks. He was using the 2mm spacer behind the shock bushing. Clearance looked good on the front and the springs were not in the turnbuckles. He had a weird rear configuration, so no idea on that.

I got several questions.

I'm studying electromechanics and have to make a thesis (integrated test).
I'm making my thesis about RC cars ofcourse (B4.1 and Savage)
Now, I need to know about what material the B4.1 is made of. Is there anyone that knows this? Yeah, I know plastic but what kind?
Also, other information about materials (motor, shocks, etc etc) which alloys etc.. are much appreciated!

Every info is welcome, you can always send it to my pm's.

Thanks

I would contact AE and traxxas. They would probably be able to give you the most information.
