I managed to secure a win with my b4 tonight, I am definitely gonna have to dial in the front a little more, and work on the shock oils but the car is already pretty good, and I was able to go faster with it than my 22(which I felt worked pretty good)...I was actually on pace to do a 15 lap run but someone took me out towards the end of the run...car is def fast though

This setup is very good with great pull out of the corner and plenty top end.

I just got the motor (d3.5 17.5 maxzilla version) yesterday and was playing around with it today at this track...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=S_ZmB_m2RfQ

Didn't quite finish tuning but ended up at 72/33 with full timing (20 on can... which is supposed to be 50 on this motor). No ESC boost, etc.
At the end of about 10 minute run, motor was only 113F (ambient around 80F). (Probably will go another pinion, maybe change spur down to 69)

She told me that they might just make new mounts rather then new screws. I'm guessing the quick mounts you bought will work great as long as there is enough threads so you can get the nessasary shims. I want to use these mounts so I can run the plastic bushings. Let me know how it works out.

The lunsford quick tunes worked out perfectly. See pics below. The red nuts are my touch but are identical to the aluminum 4-40 locknuts included from lunsford. Just to check your spacing/shimming the molded nut that's part of the stud is 2.25mm thick. The other parts I used to finish mod are: asc6472 and asc6473.

Are those pavers I see as part of the layout?

Anyone notice that their kit was shipped with 20 deg caster blocks, instead of the documented 30 deg castor blocks?

I didn't until I had to replace one with 7922 bought at the track. I only replaced the side I broke. I wondered why the buggy felt different. Didn't notice the difference until I was cleaning the buggy after the race.

Are you sure about that? The b4.1 and WC do come with 30's but most notably they have 3 camber link holes. The 20* blocks were only ever made with 2 holes and marked "20" with a silver marker. That should have been a dead give away when building the kit.

No these blocks had 3 holes and no special markings. However, when I put the 7922 part in, that camber block leaned back much more the then original, or the unmodified side, for that matter. To the extent that the arm on the steering block touches the a arm when the steering is maxed out. The part that came with the kit has almost a quarter inch gap for the same condition. Doesn't lean back as far.

So, I'm not sure what came with the kit then. All I know is there is a big difference in geometry after installing the 7922 30 degree blocks.
