my lhs had some triads in stock, so I picked up one. Do we set the slipper the same as before? 2-3 inches or lift?

Yes, set it the same way.

will need to use 2 x.030 shim on the rear arm or your bottom seal cap will be short some blue after you run...

I'm running b44 rear arms that flex a bit more so I spaced the rear shocks with a 2mm and .3 washer on the bottom. This is for the BB shocks...no mo rubby rubin...

Thought I would share the paint job I did on my buggy shell for club racing, got the idea from the paint thread on this forum
.

Hello all.

Just got a b4.1 ft worlds buggy..going to assemble it today.if anyone has any good tips or tricks to do while assembling would be appreciated.(i know i just opened a can of jokes but..)..this is the first rc car ive assembled since i bought a gold pan b1!..thanks in advance for all serious replies.

how are the ae springs compared to the losi and avid

Savagesam.

I like the paint job.it looks really good..nice job

So i picked up a used b4.1 in trade with a lip sxxx v2 and peak racing 7.5 turn with a 50c 5000 mah lipo. Redid all the shocks and went through it real good. Ball diff felt notchy to me, so I tore it down to look. Everything looked good, so I cleaned it with motor spray. Sanded the rings, cleaned again. Put it back together and oiled tranny with some 25 weight shock oil. Tranny runs smoother, but the diff itself still feals really gritty. If I hold a tire while on a stand, it diffs fine with throttle, but still doesn't feel right working diff by hand. First 10th scale buggy because all i have raced before is nitro 8th scale. I am used to gear diffs. Watched building and tuning ball diff videos and don't see where I went wrong. Any suggestions? Everything else working great after cleanup.

I don't know much about ball diffs, but, is 25w shock oil a good idea?

I don't understand. Where are you saying I need to put 2 shims?

Thats what video says. Said heavy grease can bind tranny. Use a light oil like shock oil.

You don't, you flipped the c hub so that it won't rub. You are fine.

You should probably get new balls and rings, no matter how well you clean them if they are notched it will never feel right. Make sure you put the clear diff grease on the main balls/rings and black grease on the thrust balls/rings.

He is putting the shock oil on the gears, not in the diff. If you do this only put a drop or two.

Matt is correct.
Do yourself a favor and buy new Balls, Rings, and maybe new Diff. Hardware.
and..
Just a drop is needed of oil only on Tranny Gears.
