lighter offers more forward grip but less side bite...

lighter car jumps & lands better

lighter car carries better corner speed..


heavier ?

offer's more stability & traction

more side bite but less forward grip


Too light makes car faster but more difficult to drive

Too Heavy makes a slower car but easier to drive


heavier performs better on lower traction surfaces

lighter performs best on higher traction surfaces

Exactly. Mine is 1523g with a shorty, JC rack and wing mounts, Big bores, Triad slipper and MIP top shaft. Everything else is normal.

To be honest I am not too concerned about weight running mod, but It is nice to know I have some room to play with. If I like the way the car drives, then I am all set

Can we get back to the tech please?

Are any of you guys running the shorty packs adding extra weight? If so, where?
We've been talking about the B4 for over 10 years. There's no much more to cover.

In racing, light is right. A heavy car only works better when the setup is wrong for the lighter weight.

I'm sure it's already been covered but those are scb arms and tower. I've been running them on my truck for awhile.

Anyone knows it there is also a little slot for the servo wire?
Because it goes in to the battery tray??

Tried if I could see it in the manual but the pictures wont appear...

They either made it custom or photoshoped it for advertisement.
