Can everyone calm down about the BB's? First everyone complains it took so long, now you're complaining they arent a direct bolt on. The car was designed with smaller shocks, something will obviously have to be done. You can always space them out which we've been doing or just dremel the towers a bit. We all had to dremel the old shock towers to get the 4th hole a couple years ago, what's the big deal now?
Like someone else said, you're in this hobby and you don't have a dremel??? Seriously??? NONE of you would have survived in this hobby 10-20 years ago when we had to mod a whole bunch of stuff... hell some kits needed a lot of hand fitting/ dremeling just to put them together.
Everyone wants it done for them now, if it's doesn't bolt right up, will you not buy it? Just like everyone just puts a team driver setup on their car and runs it. Then doesn't understand why they didn't win nationals.
I understand dremeling the front will weaken it a tad. The new 4.1 plastic is really flexible and sturdy. Chances are if you break a front tower, it wouldn't have mattered of you dremeled it anyway.
Just enjoy the new shocks like I will!! Enjoy the challenge of find The best new setup for your tracks like I will!! Have fun!!

The problem with the b2 was not that it wasn't better than the b1, it's that it wan't better than the losi xx! Remember Kinwald winning it all with a Losi?

Good luck in your quest for a answer on that! Im running a finnisher body, i've asked real questions like you have but no answers, so godspeed. Everybodys got stage five boners about big bores and how they are going to magically tq every class and improve their sex life as a result.

I've personally tested the FTW, Bulldog, and Finnisher all back to back to back. The Ftw felt really good on track, I just couldn't get as fast of lap times with it. The finnisher seemed more on edge, but was faster lap time wise than the FTW. The Bulldog gave me the fastest most consistant laps of the three, it feels the most stable and I could push the car harder than the other two bodies. I suggest you do the same test, everyone's driving style is different.

That's right about where you want to be with oils and stock springs. Barcodes Gold all around are the tires that work best at OCRC. Make sure you have clean grippy tires before each run on the clay there. Simple Green works well, and they also sell tire Gauce in the shop (quite common for that track).
