Did you do something wrong with them? Or is that just the standard lifespan of Lipos?
Just take care of them and they will last you a while

I had the same issue on one of my caps. Spoke with Nick at AE today and he said he would get one shipped out to me tomorrow. If you call early enough you should be able to get them to ship tomorrow for Friday delivery

Just balance charging them, I know some pro a thing called storage on their charger or something like that, but I just make sure that they are never stored charged.

I have typically two batteries per car, so I charge battery A and B, heat 1 I use A and charge it, heat 2 use battery B and then put it in my lipo sack and use battery A for the main and then put it in my lipo sack til next weekend

I use the storage mode on my batteries. From what I understand, it takes the battery to 50% charge.

Ok, a member, rigor, posted pics a littwhile back where it the turnbuckle was running the rear shocks. I'm having the same problem. After encountering that problem, I shaved the rear tower and only put on the rtr shock bushings w/out the spacer up top and the two washers on bottom and the turnbuckle is still hiring the spring.

What could I do?

Will it make my car uncontrollable if I put the c hubs on the back of the rear hub? I did that and it doesn't hit, could I do that?

It will make your car more controllable...do it, you'll like it. And for those that may have forgotten why AE made the "C" tower...here you go:
  • New option C tower in 2.5mm carbon fiber.
  • Lowers outer link positions for lower roll center.
  • Provides more rear end stability.
  • Used by Ryan Cavalieri and Ryan Maifield at the 2011 Reedy Race of Champions on the B4.1 buggy.
  • For the B4, B4.1, B44, T4, T4.1, SC10.

Unless your B4's are too locked in, why wouldn't you run the C tower? Not to mention the spring/tie rod clearance with the big bores.
