I was wondering how many races/ or minutes you guys put on tires before you toss them? When you see heavy wear? 3, 5, 10 races than junk?

At tracks like WCRC and OCRC the tires work best when they are well worn and almost bald so I keep tires for a few months because they last and work well

You have to sand the blue shock mounts lightly and the caps will slide right on. No big deal had to do it on both my builds.

I just ordered from avid a couple days ago no issues. maybe a cookie issue on your computer?

Finally done. Still thinking of esc placement. I noticed the shocks are rated low. Like the hardest AE is around medium soft on Losi springs. Does the B4 drive better with softer suspension?

Suspension is a relative thing. It's really about setting up the action against the car's weight, shock piston's and fluid's pack and flow, and the o-ring's and piston's 'stiction'. You use weight to assist with changing suspension action delay [and traction] and weight transfer characteristics. It's an art really, but the box baseline is always a good place to start.

I understand. I meant the springs are rated low. Not the whole suspension.

Don't forget the 22 tends to be heavier, so it needs stiffer springs.

Question for those that are running RPM ball cups. I started installing mine today and am having some trouble adjusting them. They will pop off every time I try to adjust the camber or toe. I ran the turnbuckles in and out 3 times before installation and am using petroleum jelly on the threads. How does everyone else deal with this?

Has anyone broke servos or stripped out the horn, since using the b4.2's alloy steer rack??

I run a XP DS1015 servo and cant afford to(injured and off work) replace it if something was to prematurely wreck it, so i was wondering if i should just stay with the b4.1 servo saver style rack

When using the avid/JC racks i've stripped a few horns, never an actual servo though.
