Here are some pictures of my T4 chassis. I was going to run it as a buggy but decided to keep it as a Stadium Truck. I put Titanium sides, a Titanium shelf that will hold my Receiver and ESC, and I fab'd Titanium servo mounts. I actually made the servo mounts for all 3 of my AE vehicles

anybody know what a starting point for gearing would be for a 9.5?

Ran the truck for the first time last night and had a blast. Started 7th, last, and made it up to 4th before finishing 5th. Only thing broken was a front axle and I'll take the blame with the way it landed. I do wonder though how it was only a steel axle that broke and nothing else. The landing didn't even pop either ball cup off. Probably going back for more tomorrow.

You broke the t4 steel axle? Post a picture please.

It happened the same exact way that your's did. Right at the pin. Hex, wheel nut, and pin stayed with the wheel and it broke right at the bearings. Axle was left in the trash can and the truck is at home. Sorry but can't do a picture.

Oh you did the hex conversion. I though you broke the solid axles. Try the jc axles

Both my B4 and T4 have the AE hex conversion with a third set of everything, minus one axle, so I'll be staying with what I have for now. I've had the hex conversion of the buggy for a while and this was the first issue I have had. Should it continue I will rethink my position. Thanks for the help.

Has anyone tried jconcepts' closed cell foams yet? If so, do you use them in the front and rear or just the rears with an open cell in the front?

which big bore spring rates is everyone using front and rear on their t4's? i ask cause i will be sticking with the v2 shocks for now, but would like to reduce the spring rub that i'm currently having! running east coast red clay/blue groove/ meduim/high bite! any help is appreciated!

Anyone using JC front axles in the 9880 steering block with JC Mono wheels up front? Are you using the wheel shims? Or am I just using the wrong block? I seem to have about 3/16ths of slop using the AE plastic hexes when the wheel nuts are seated firm to the axle collar.

which plastic hex are you using on the front? With the JC axles you need to use the sc10 rear hex on the front.

lrighty then, what is the best foam for high traction tracks? Epic bomb ones are not very firm at all.

I'm using the 9883 hexes. The rear set has a taller shoulder than the front set. Thanks for the heads up Wildcat1971. I'll grab another set just for the rears.

yeah, you need 2 sets of the sc10 rears. I would get the alum ones for the rear, since those are the powered wheels. I have alum rear and sc10 rear plastics for the front.

you want something firm and probably a closed cell insert.
