RC10B4.1 FT/WC

What pistons are compatible with the B4.1 shafts? I'm thinking losi based on my searches, but I want to be sure. I see some running the ghea, are the BB ones the same as the 22 or kyosho? thanks.

From experience, I can tell you exactly what that is. You are running the avid or jc bell cranks & hit something. This cracked the top of the case where one of the pins that holds a gear stack goes in a hole. If you have it on & move the servo horn, it will move just a little bit while it is sitting @ rest. This causes the servo to bounce back & forth as it tries to find center. If it is under warranty, send it in & then sell it. If they won't fix a 6 week old servo, I'd buy a case & then sell to switch to a different brand. It will break in the same place again. I went through 3 cases for a jr 9100s before giving up on it & getting a radiopost red (this for my agama, but it also broke the case in the b4.1xl with the avid bell cranks). I have had no problems out of my Savox 1258 with the avid cranks.

The smoothness in the diff is a result of the thrust bearing. Anyone whos raced 1/12th scale has lost that outer bearing from a hard hit and knows what I'm writing about. That said, I can't get two race days out of a set of carbide balls before mine are shot.
AE doesn't make ceramic thrust balls, how would you know they don't work George? Don't you only run only AE stuff?
The ceramic balls literally last forever if you don't lose one. Mine have been in my SC10 for a year and a half. I ordered them from John Russo, was $9.65 for thrust and diff balls - delivered!

You can use those ceramic thrust balls , never said they don't work...
Last night ?
I reused my stock Ae thrust after I wore out the diff & out drives .
Pulled it out , did not even clean and slap it back in a new set of out drives ...
Diff came out smooth as silk ...
That is after reusing the same stock thrust again !
And
Now ?
That same thrust is going for another tour ...
Just saying ......
The stock thrust does not wear very much , if at all.
Can be reused over & over ....
This is the reason why I suggested save the money , you really need to use ceramic thrust balls ....
PS Craig
my B4 ride pimps
RPM ball cups
AVID TRIAD slipper
AVID springs
Jconcepts silent spur
losi pinion
AVID steering rack
Stainless steel screws , don't even know who makes um ..
So when you tell everyone I only use Ae parts ?
Your wrong again...

We run an astro/RCP mix for off-road, and Schumacher mini pin rears and Stagger rib fronts are the hot ticket ( yellow compound.)
